BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
(SASCED-P 07320102)

Introduction

The Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Program is one of the programs offered in the
engineering college. With the influx of new design and construction technologies, this undergraduate
program aspires to graduate outstanding engineers capable of serving their societies professionally by
providing them with high-quality and up-to-date engineering education in the areas of Civil and
Environmental Engineering. In general, Civil engineering focuses on the development of various
structures, including roads, buildings, and airports, while environmental engineering is mainly
concerned with designing and applying innovative solutions fostering sustainability in the natural and
built environments, also creating different projects that can solve environmental issues.
A Bachelor of Science (BS) in Civil and Environmental Engineering is awarded upon successfully
completing 138 credit hours. The study plan of this program is designed based on four years after the
preparatory year (PYP). The first three years in the CEE curriculum provide basic knowledge and
concepts in science, mathematics, civil, and environmental engineering fundamentals. During the first
semester of the fourth year, the program offers the senior design graduation course, in parallel,
elective courses in two main areas, through which the student can select two elective courses. These
areas are Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering.

Starting from the second semester of the fourth year, the student can either have a CO-OP training
program in a company for seven months or have an internship program with three additional elective
courses.

Program Vision
The Civil and Environmental Engineering Program aspires to be among the leading programs in the
Civil and Environmental Engineering field and prepare the next generation of leaders in the discipline
and related industries.

Program Mission

The Civil and Environmental Engineering Program aims to provide high-quality education consistent
with international standards in civil and environmental engineering to graduate engineers equipped
with the needed knowledge, skills, and values to serve the Middle East through an environment that
emphasizes lifelong learning, sustainability, leadership, scientific research, and service to the
community.

Program Educational Objectives
Graduates of the Civil and Environmental Engineering program at PSU are expected to achieve the
following Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) within a few years after graduation.

PEO 1: Establish themselves as leading civil and environmental engineering professionals, engage in
graduate study /or conduct applied research to develop effective and innovative solutions for
current and future challenges in their field.
PEO 2: Apply civil and environmental engineering knowledge, concepts, and principles and engage in
lifelong learning activities using modern tools
PEO 3: Demonstrate professional and ethical standards, work effectively in multidisciplinary teams,
and actively contribute to sustainable societal progress.
