Civil Engineering
Vision, Mission and Statement of PEOs
for Civil Engineering Department
Vision
The Department of
Civil Engineering endeavors to be one of the leading Civil Engineering Programs
in Iraq and the region. The global economy and rapid changes in technology
requires an increasing number of civil engineers. Today's civil engineers are
confronted with broader job responsibilities, often involving modern
technological aspects that must be integrated with the traditional disciplines.
The high demand by professional firms in the Construction Industry for civil
engineers impose the need for civil engineering programs in which
qualifications are valuable for career advancement. The competitive nature of
the Construction Industry in the region requires civil engineers that acquire
good knowledge and skills in dealing with new technologies. Identifying,
evaluating, implementing and managing the most appropriate resources,
technologies and systems demands a well-developed level of technical and
managerial skills and team-work capabilities. The civil engineering program
enhance the technical and managerial knowledge and skills of its graduates to
meet today’s demands and needs as well as those of the future. The program
emphasizes academic and research excellence along with professional development
of students in particular areas of interest in civil engineering. The program
offers a wide selection of courses and research activities related to civil
engineering which satisfies the local as well as the global needs of the
Construction Industry. The Main Features of the Program: its quality is
comparable with similar international programs while introducing flexibility to
meet local needs without affecting its quality. The
program is well positioned to address the areas of recent research in the area.
Mission
The Department of
Civil Engineering, aspires to be a center of excellence in educating
professionals in civil engineering in Iraq. The philosophy of the department is
to promote a model of education that promotes both professional and educational
aspects of a discipline that supports academic creativity, cultural
development, and operates within an environment that encourages technology
transfer. The Department offers a comprehensive program at undergraduate and
postgraduate levels that can play a pivotal role in the development of the
engineering areas in Iraq, and provide a forum for research into topical areas
and contribute to policy debates. The department of civil engineering to be one
of the leading civil engineering programs in Iraq and the region. Nurturing and
care of outstanding students and encouraging them to use their skills.
Base on
the mission of Al-Nahrain University and the college of Engineering, the
graduate of the B.Sc. program in Civil Engineering will be able to:
1. PEO-1: use science, mathematics, computational thinking, and
mechanical engineering ideas, such as design theory, experimental techniques,
and production, to solve practical problems associated with design,
improvement, manufacture and maintenance of mechanical systems.
2. PEO-2: Practice strong critical thanking, innovation, and
problem-solving skills in order to pursue a successful career while
demonstrating adherence to the professional codes of conduct and professional
accountability.
3. PEO-3: Use effective communication skills and participate in
multidisciplinary partnerships to demonstrate professional progress and
leadership and demonstrate an appreciation and use of modern technological
capabilities and to foster collaborative effort among co-workers and other
institutions.
4. PEO-4: Work independently and in multidisciplinary teams to
efficiently attain personal and organizational objectives, produce a product or
construction that meets a social need, and contribute in teaching persons in
the field while maintaining ethical and environmental context of their work.
5. PEO-5: Engage in life-long learning and career growth while
maintaining professional standards and pursue further education in the form of
graduate and professional studies.
6. PEO-6: Identify opportunities to contribute to the development of society life from a variety of positions, ranging from design and produce modern devices and introducing the cost-effective methods in production.
