DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

MESSAGE OF THE CHAIRMAN/HEAD OF DEPARTMENT

Civil Engineering profession usually includes a variety of engineering specialties like structure, transportation systems, water resources, construction management, geotechnical and environmental engineering that deals planning, designing, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of infrastructure for sustainable development of the nation. The aim of the department is to provide quality education to our students by following state-of-the-art curricula, having dedicated and talented faculty, and by creating an environment that is conducive for teaching and learning. Department has set up a well-coordinated guiding system that provides counseling and support to the students. Every student is advised and encouraged to interact with faculty members, and session coordinators to take guidance for their field of choice and contribute to the society as professionally mature team leaders. Civil Engineers are employed in a broad spectrum of engineering opportunities like construction firms, manufacturing companies, power companies, petroleum industry, mining, entrepreneurship, and consulting engineering firms. Many opportunities for Civil Engineering employment also exist in district, provincial and federal engineering departments as well.

The profession of civil engineering deals with planning, designing, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of infrastructure for the sustainable development of the nation. This is a diversified discipline covering building structures, transportation systems, geotechnical, water resources, and environment for the development of the civilization. The department of civil engineering at “Ibadat International University, Islamabad” was established in 2011. Since then, it is serving the community by ensuring efficient transfer of civil engineering knowledge to its students. The students are provided with an exceptional blend of theoretical concepts and their practical applications, enabling them to face real-world challenges with confidence. The curriculum is designed with the professional knowledge of highly qualified engineering faculty and industry experts. Advance engineering knowledge, skills, and ethics are incorporated in the curriculum to groom the students. The highly qualified faculty and staff along with state-of-the-art lab facilities ensure that the future engineers will be capable of serving in different fields of civil engineering nationally and internationally.

The civil engineering department has now started the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) System to bring the education of the University at par with the international standards. The latest teaching methodology in correspondence to the outcome-based education system will equip the graduates with hard and soft skills to groom their learning outcomes. We aim to educate the students of civil engineering about the importance of environmental impacts of construction activities so that they can contribute to the sustainable development of society. The students are also encouraged to further explore their curiosity in the subject by continuing their academic careers. They are also mentored and motivated to gain expertise in advanced fields of civil engineering. The graduates of civil engineering are required to undertake an internship of 6-8 weeks duration during 3rd year, which often provides them job opportunities after graduation. Students are also required to complete a two-week Survey Camp. A formal evaluation is carried out and Pass/Fail grade is awarded to the students. In addition, seminars, workshops, and field visits are arranged by the department to provide exposure to diverse learning activities.
