Civil Engineering Department

Civil engineering department deals with understanding the design and analysis of human-benefit structures, such as buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, ports, sewer system, dams and others. The main objective of the Department is to give a complete background for those wishing to be involved in the civil engineering profession in all its branches, including working in academia.

The Department was established in 1988, starting with providing B.Sc. courses. Then the postgraduate program (Master’s degree) in Structural Engineering was founded in 1989. Later courses in Geotechnical Engineering were also provided. In 1994 the department started providing Ph.D. studies in Structural Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering.

The Department aims to create graduate students having the following abilities:

1-     Do engineering design and engineering work on the sites.

2-     Build upon the graduate spirit of teamwork and communication.

3-     Build upon the graduate engineering personal leadership and the highest standard possible.

4-     To be eligible for the function to its competence.

5-     5. Agree to expand knowledge of   what the graduate knows so as to complete his academic studies. And to accommodate development that is happening in the field of civil engineering.

6-     Capable of serving his community locally and abroad.

Aims
The department aims to prepare leader civil engineers of high caliber and specialized merits enabling them to serve In the development of the future of Iraq these engineers are to gain up-to-date knowledge in their field of specialization and are able to cope with the latest civil engineering knowledge of the twenty first century.
