BS IN CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM (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 three main areas, through which the student can select two elective courses.
These areas are:
Construction Engineering and Management, CEM
Environmental Engineering, EE
Structural Engineering and Materials, SEM
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 OBJECTIVES
After Completing this program student will:
• Have possessed skills and knowledge that qualify them for professional practice in
civil and environmental engineering.
• Be able to pursue further formal education.
• Be prepared for life-long professional growth along diverse career paths.
• Have an appreciation of technical, social, economic, environmental, ethical, and
global aspects of engineering practice.

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 respond to the high demand in the Civil
and Environmental industry of the Middle East for engineers capable of developing innovative
approaches to solve civil and environmental engineering problems and enhance the quality of life.

STUDENT OUTCOMES (SOs)
