BS in Civil & Infrastructure Engineering
The Civil and Infrastructure Engineering (CIEN) program is a unique undergraduate program in the United Arab Emirates and in the region as it concentrates on infrastructure engineering in addition to traditional civil engineering areas. The CIEN program prepares students to excel in several sectors including building design and construction, highways and transportation, planning and management, and consulting.
The program has 134 credit hours over the duration of eight semesters including hours at internship programs. The curriculum of the program covers construction engineering and management, structural and materials engineering, highway and transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, and water and environmental engineering. The program was prepared according to the International Standards of Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and has passed all the conditions and criteria set by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) at the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, United Arab of Emirates.
The Civil and Infrastructure Engineering program’s faculty members have graduated from top universities in the world and their expertise covers a broad range of technical areas, including structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, construction engineering and management, environmental systems, hydraulic engineering and water resources, and transportation systems engineering.
