About Department

The main focus of the Civil and Architectural engineering program is on providing the basic needs of humanity. Civil engineers improve society’s quality of life by enhancing the surroundings in which people live and by designing public works, transportation systems, buildings, and other infrastructure components. Architectural engineers design, operate and maintain building systems by combining building systems such as structural, electrical, mechanical, air condition, and lighting into an integrated system. The jobs available in the field of Civil and Architectural engineering are diverse, so a broad base is provided to prepare graduates for a variety of positions. Students receive a broad-based education in the freshman and sophomore years and more focused education in the junior and senior years.
