Program Description
The work of the architect and civil engineer are closely linked. The Civil and Construction Engineering program keeps these concepts in mind. The aim of the Civil and Construction Engineering Program is to graduate civil engineers who are capable of generating effective solutions by using engineering approaches in the field of civil and construction engineering. The graduates of the program will be well versed in technology, social, and environmental issues. The program aims to supply the students with advanced concepts of structural design. Students will have the basics of steel and concrete structure design and water tank design, according to recent design code versions. Also, students will have the basics of dynamics and earthquakes using recent design code versions. Management of project resources, risk, and safety is essential knowledge for structural engineers. 

Career Prospects
Graduates of this program have a variety of opportunities to work in the civil engineering and construction program. They will be qualified to hold positions in companies specializing in the design, analysis, operation, construction, and management of a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects. Graduates can be found in many companies and organizations, for example:
• Government authorities, 
• Consulting companies in civil engineering and construction, 
• Civil engineering contractors and project managers, 
• Environmental engineering organizations.

Program Concentrations:
The program provides the undergraduate with a comprehensive foundation and techniques in the basic principles of civil and construction project management and environmental engineering. The program offers three different areas in which students can specialize. These three areas are:
    Structural engineering
    Construction Management

1. Structural engineering:
Structural engineering is concerned with the structural design and structural analysis of buildings, bridges, towers, and other structures. This involves identifying the loads affecting the structure, the forces and stresses that arise within that structure due to those loads and then designing the structure to successfully support and resist those loads. Loads can be the self-weight of structures, other dead loads, live loads, moving loads (wheels), wind loads, earthquake loads, loads resulting from temperature change, etc. A structural engineer must design structures to be safe for their users and to successfully fulfill the function for which they were designed (to be serviceable). As a result of the nature of some loading conditions, sub-disciplines have emerged within structural engineering, including wind engineering and earthquake engineering.
2. Construction Management:
Construction management gives students a specialized focus on planning, scheduling, resource management, quantity taking, computer applications, cost estimation, risk management, safety, contracts, problem solving, people communication, and management and leadership skills.
