Mission

To support the needs of Tabuk region and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia society by providing high quality educational program and contributing to research related to civil engineering profession.

Objectives

The bachelor of science in civil engineering​ has established three broad program educational objectives (PEOs) for graduates as they progress through their careers. Within few years of graduation, our graduates:

1. Graduates will establish themselves successful careers in civil engineering or related fields and will become key team member that can communicate and collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary environment.

2. Graduates will take into account economic, environmental, societal and ethical considerations in solving the civil engineering problems.

3. Graduates will pursue life-long learning, professional development, professional licensure and participation in professional societies or graduate studies.

CE Program Goals:
  1. Graduating qualified civil engineers with essential skills and knowledge to understand and deal with modern civil engineering trends.
  2. Serve as a source of engineering expertise in the fields of civil engineering to solve engineering problems.
  3. To Prepare graduated students in civil engineering programs for a successful pursuit of their graduate studies in prestigious universities.
  4. To graduate a generation of civil engineers capable of achieving the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals.
