The
Civil Engineering program at King Faisal University, which is part of the
Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, was established in 1430H
(2009) based on high quality national and international academic standards. The
program is highly competitive and demanding and have a crucial impact on the
progress, development, and the improvement of the quality and living standards
in the kingdom. We believe that qualified and leader faculty members in their
fields, dynamic students, international collaboration, and up-to-date
laboratories and facilities are the keystones of the structure of our CE program.
Career
opportunities for the civil engineering at national and regional levels are
very high because of the pressing needs to build, improve, and maintain the
infrastructure.
Our
undergraduate students receive a B.Sc. in civil engineering and may become
fairly specialized through the offered elective courses that covers several
areas in civil engineering. The covered areas are Structure, Geotechnical,
Transportation, Water and Environmental, & Construction and Engineering Management.
For graduate studies, the CEE Department is currently working on establishing
master programs (M.Sc. & M.Eng.).
Considering the importance and need to have and maintain high
level of quality in education, the CE program, and from the early start,
decided to go through and to practice the means and processes that will lead to
the international recognition and accreditation. The continuous hard work by
all the stakeholders was culminated the program accredited The International
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET-EAC) until Sept. 2021
and we are in the process of re-accreditation for the next accreditation cycle.
