BS Civil Engineering

Introduction

The best parameter to indicate the development of a country is possible through its development in infrastructure which constitutes, high - rise buildings, bridges, dams, motor ways and hydraulic structures. It highlights the significance of CIVIL ENGINEERING and high demands of CIVIL ENGINEERS in developing countries. Pakistan, on its ways to compete the developed nations, is striving hard to excel in every run of life with major focus on improving living standards by constructing High Rise buildings, enhancing modes of transportation to facilitate the people to travel from one part to the other with ease and to construct dams and irrigation canals to flourish agriculture, combat global warming and overcome the energy crisis and short fall. All these motives lead to immediate need of highly qualified Civil Engineers to meet the emerging demands of the country.

Among so many Engineering, Science and Technology Universities in Pakistan, Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering & Information Technology at Rahim Yar Khan possesses a unique feature of being the only university of its cadre in the Southern Punjab. KFUEIT, is providing higher technical education on such a large scale to cover maximum Engineering, Science and Technology disciplines under the supervision of highly qualified faculty members from so Prestigious Universities of the world.

Department of Civil Engineering at KFUEIT is one among the major departments of the University. BS Civil Engineering program was launched in Fall 2017. This program has been approved by Pakistan Engineering Council Islamabad after the visit of PEC Team in Fall 2017. The department has also initiated graduate degree program in Civil Engineering from Spring 2019 and onwards with specialization in Water Resources and Irrigation Engineering. This graduate program has also been approved by Higher Education Commission Islamabad.

The Civil Engineering department possess internationally qualified Faculty members who have earned vast experience of academics and research in National and International universities. The University has spent millions of rupees budget to establish state of the art Civil Engineering laboratories which are meeting international standards of education.

In order to provide first hand knowledge in the field related to construction, Internship for a duration of one month and survey camp for two weeks have also been introduced as part of the course curriculum.

Main thrust of KFUEIT is to develop those skills among students which help them establishing their own businesses and becoming job creator rather than job seekers and burdening the economy of Pakistan. In this regard entrepreneurship is being promoted among the students to enable them becoming self-sustainable and earn on their own. Civil Engineering Department has also introduced such courses in the curriculum and arranged training workshops and short courses to train the students with skills to help them running their own Civil Engineering projects.

Being Civil Engineers, we believe in perfection, we are motivated and ambitious to play our role in the development of our country with heart and soul. We foresee a Nation that has firm foundations enrooted deep to raise the living standards of the people of Pakistan, bridging the gaps, reducing the distances and paving the way to stand shoulder to shoulder with other Nations of prestige and honor of the world.
