Civil Engineering Program
Welcome to the Civil and
Environmental Engineering Department at King Faisal University located in
Al-Ahsa Governorate, which was established in 1430 AH (2009 AD), the department
currently offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) program in Civil Engineering, which
is accredited by ABET. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is
committed to maintaining national and international standards in education,
ensuring that its programs remain competitive and relevant to the global
engineering landscape. Furthermore, our department offers a wide range of
specializations including structural engineering, construction management,
transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, and water resources and
environmental engineering. These programs are designed to provide students with
the knowledge and practical skills necessary to excel in the field of
engineering. In addition, the department is preparing to launch an
undergraduate program in Environmental Engineering to meet the needs of the labor
market. In line with its commitment to academic excellence, the department also
aims to launch graduate programs, including Master of Science (MS) and Master
of Engineering (MEng.), to enhance expertise in the departments' fields.
The
department's faculty is composed of highly qualified professionals from
prestigious universities worldwide, each bringing a wealth of knowledge,
experience, and global perspectives to the classroom, which enables them to
share cutting-edge research and innovative practices with their students. This
diversity enriches the learning environment and allows students to benefit from
a wide range of engineering methodologies and insights. The department focuses
on providing high-quality education, utilizing state-of-the-art facilities,
modern technology, and well-equipped laboratories to enhance both teaching and
research. These resources allow students to gain practical experience and
develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that essential for their
professional success.
The main
objective of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department is to prepare
its students for the challenges of the labor force. By promoting a lifelong
learning, the department helps students not only succeed in their initial
professional roles but also adapt to future changes in the engineering field.
This focus on continuous learning is complemented by the department's
dedication to supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. The department aims to train
qualified and well-educated engineers who will play a pivotal role in the Kingdom's
infrastructure development, contributing to the construction, improvement, and
sustainability of urban environments. In addition, the department is actively
engaged in annual student initiatives to promote environmental sustainability,
aligning with global efforts to create greener, more sustainable communities.
