In the Civil Engineering program, students become experts in designing and managing infrastructure projects that shape our world. They explore structural engineering, transportation systems, environmental engineering, and urban planning. Graduates are well-equipped to design, construct, and maintain critical infrastructure, from bridges and buildings to transportation networks.

Structure Basics introduces students to fundamental principles of civil engineering structures. Topics include structural analysis, design, and construction techniques.


Fundamentals Of Transportation Engineering focuses on transportation engineering principles, covering road design, traffic engineering, and transportation planning. Students learn about transportation systems and their impact on society.


Construction Planning explores project management in construction. Students study scheduling, cost estimation, and project execution. The course equips students with skills for successful construction project management.


Structural Analysis focuses on the analysis of civil engineering structures. Students study the behavior of structures under various loads and conditions.


Gain an introduction to finite element analysis (FEA) and its applications in engineering analysis. Learn about numerical techniques for solving complex engineering problems. Analyze stress analysis, structural mechanics, and the use of FEA software.


Introduction To Criminology explores the field of criminology, including theories of crime, criminal behavior, and the criminal justice system. Students gain insights into the causes and consequences of crime.
