Science in Civil Engineering

About Program:

The oldest and most elegant branch of engineering profession in engineering colleges all over the world and that is due to the fact that civil engineering is related to almost all aspects of civilization. Many of the important things in our lives that we take for granted are the product of civil engineering. Civil engineer deals with a wide variety of engineering aspects such as designing, construction, and maintenance of different structure (buildings, embankments, storage tanks, dams, roads, water and wastewater networks, irrigation and drainage networks, etc ), solving execution problems, managing engineering and construction projects, and it just does not end there. Civil engineer also has a significant role in planning and managing transportation systems, terrific safety, conservation and development of water resources, treatment and reuse of Wastewater, and the list extends. The civil engineering curriculums in Qassim University are set to serve the broad range activities of the profession. It is designed to fulfill the student's need of sufficient and balanced content of different civil engineering topics. Initially such topics cover most, if not all, of the sub-disciplines of civil engineering. Students then choose to specialize in one or more sub-disciplines towards the end of the degree.
