Civil engineering, the oldest engineering profession, is a broad discipline that covers many aspects of our everyday lives. As a civil engineer you will have the chance to plan, design, construct and manage towers & villas, highways, roads & transportation systems, sewage and water systems, desalination & waste-water treatment plants, tunnels, bridges, dams & canals, harbours & ports and facilities for solid, chemical & nuclear waste.
Civil engineers are leaders in the economic development of the UAE, building and managing mega projects that are transforming the UAE to a knowledge-based, sustainable, and diversified economy. Civil engineering is an integral part of the UAE’s National Innovation Strategy in renewable energy, water, transportation, technology and education.
Both private companies and public agencies seek civil engineers for a variety of professional positions due to the versatility of their skills and their technical and management capabilities. Many graduates work for local and international engineering consulting firms or construction companies as design engineers, field engineers and project managers. They also join government agencies to oversee transportation, water supply, environmental protection, and resource management.
Graduates of the program quickly find work in prestigious local, national and international companies and agencies.
