Department of Civil Engineering Peshawar Campus
The courses of study leading to the Degree of B.Sc. Civil Engineering have been planned to offer a broad spectrum of Civil Engineering subjects. The curriculum lays emphasis
on subjects of structures, irrigation, geotechnical, transportation engineering,
environmental engineering and hydraulics. These courses include laboratory and design work.
The prescribed syllabi and examination standards compare favorably with the standard of under-graduate work developed in UK, USA and Canada.
In addition to course work, the final year students are required to work on a project under the guidance of a senior faculty members. Study tours and extension lectures are also arranged during the session for the benefit of the students.
Second or third year students during their summer break and final year students after passing the final examination in Civil Engineering may work with some recognized organizations, registered with PEC or government department or semi-government department to acquire practical
training of 800 hours for award of degree.
The Department of Civil Engineering offers a post-graduate programme with specialization in structural engineering, water resources engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering and earthquake engineering.
The mission of Department of Civil Engineering is stated as under.
"To produce civil engineers having the knowledge, skills, and professional attitude that will enable them to develop innovative, safe, economical, and sustainable solutions for society."
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
- The civil Engineering graduates will:
PEO-1.
"Exhibit flexibility and competency in bringing challenging projects to fruition by applying in depth engineering principles, analytical skills and state-of-the-art practices"
PEO-2.

Field Visits/Industrial Visits
Field visits to Civil Engineering projects of national importance are arranged for students. Each year students and concerned faculty members visit facilities/projects having high technical stature.
Survey Camp
Each year field course in surveying and leveling is arranged, for students of third year Civil Engineering for a period of three weeks for site experience. The course includes hands-on work in contouring, triangulation, fly leveling and road surveying. The survey is done with theodolites, levels and total stations. Survey plots are prepared with both manual and computer-aided drawings.
