“This updated syllabus was instrumental in helping the Department of
Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) achieve accreditation
from the Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical
Education (BAETE), recognized under Washington Accord for six
years, from 12th July 2023 to 12th July 2028.”
 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) started its
journey in 2008 with a four-year B. Sc. in Civil Engineering program. The
curriculum of the program covers courses from different areas, such as
general science and mathematics, arts and humanities, basic engineering,
capstone courses, and elective engineering courses from different
branches of civil engineering - structural engineering, environmental
engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, and
water resources engineering. Elective courses in the different branches of
civil engineering are taught in third and fourth years to enhance/widen the
depth of knowledge in particular subjects. The total number of credit hours
of the program is 181.0, including 139 credit hours from theory courses,
and 42 credit hours from sessional courses. The curriculum of the program
is revised regularly based on feedback from the students, employer,
faculties, and other stakeholders. The fourth revision of the syllabus of the
B.Sc. in Civil Engineering program was made in October 2015. In 2021
further moderation was made to introduce the CEE 4806, Final Year
Design Project (FYDP).

In addition to the theoretical and sessional courses, the department

regularly organizes industrial visits for the students. Also, seminars,
workshops, and conferences are organized regularly in the department to
give opportunity to the students to be familiar with recent development of
knowledge in the field of civil engineering. It also helps the students to
understand the necessity of continuous learning for serving the society
effectively.

At present, forty-five students are admitted in the B. Sc. in Civil

Engineering programme every year. Each year comprises two semesters -
the summer semester and the winter semester. At present, the total
number of undergraduate students in the department is about 380.
The department has started a two-year Master of Science in Civil
Engineering programme in 2012 to enhance capability of research works
in the department. For graduation, a student needs to complete 36 credit
hours. Currently, the total number of master students is about 100. For
further enhancement of research activities in the department, the
department has started Ph.D. programme from session 2019-2020.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES (POs)

Program Outcomes (POs) are narrower statements that describe what

students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of
graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills and attitudes that
students acquire while progressing through the program. The program
must demonstrate that by the time of graduation, students have attained a
certain set of knowledge, skills and behavioral traits to some acceptable
minimum level. The Department of CEE, IUT specifically requires that
students acquire the following graduate attributes.
