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.
