The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department is devoted to educate exemplary Civil engineers by instituting best learning practices that: i) drive knowledge, build skills and competencies, inspire the learner to define a purpose and develop a passion to life-long learning, ii) cultivate a sense of responsibility toward the profession, society and the environment, iii) attain the ability to confront challenges through innovation and research, and iv) contribute to the advancement of the community present and future.
The Civil Engineering (CE) program educational objectives is set and approved by the CE program’s constituencies, i.e. Faculty, Alumni, Advisory Board, and Employers. The program has as its objectives that within a few years our graduates must:
1. Be competent to handle complex engineering tasks and provide innovative solutions through the integration of best practices.
2. Be recognized for their ability to pursue graduate studies in Civil engineering and related interdisciplinary areas as well as aptitude for lifelong learning.
3. Demonstrate leadership in their fields of expertise and service to local and international communities.
The graduates of the CE program will acquire each of the following characteristics and abilities, which constitute the program outcomes in conformity with the objectives. The student will:
a. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
b. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
c. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
d. an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.
e. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
f. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
g. an ability to communicate effectively
h. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
i. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
j. a knowledge of contemporary issues
k. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
The demand for civil engineers has been consistently high, in the Middle East and the Gulf region, during the last decade. Engineers have been involved primarily in large public and private development projects. The emerging reconstruction activity in Lebanon and the Gulf offers ever increasing and expanding opportunities for civil engineers for even decades to come. Graduating civil engineers are benefiting from very stimulating work experiences in the region, many of which are related to mega projects in the building and infrastructure sectors; this has resulted in a booming job market and in highly competitive salaries for civil engineers. Potential senior students are on high demand for recruitment by leading engineering companies for practical training, prior to their graduation, and eventually hired as practicing engineers.
The civil engineering graduate can generally work either in the private sector or in government agencies. Civil engineers attain a broad spectrum of skills sought by almost every profession. The fields of work applied to civil engineering are in form of design and consultation, contracting and supervision, or management and quality control. Being interrelated, it is not unusual that these fields are combined during the performance of a project. The civil engineer can work as an employee, partner, or owner in consulting design offices (local or regional) in the departments of structures, transportation and planning, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, water resources, and computer software, and in contracting firms and construction management consultant offices.
