About the Department

Civil Engineering consists of the fields of construction, geotechnical skills, hydraulic transportation, construction management and construction materials. The CIU Department has a strong national link plus being present at an international level. It has a leadership role as its laboratory facilities ranks first among the other civil engineering departments in our country. It provides a quality education by using its physical infrastructure in the best way and giving prominence to the understanding of contemporary education.

After completing their first year in basic science courses, students take courses such as applied mechanics, construction, hydraulics, hydromechanics, topography, geotechnical engineering, transport engineering, materials, construction and construction management. The academic programme of Civil Engineering also includes maths, computer programming and non-departmental social-based courses. In addition to their practical education in the Department, the students are encouraged to make theoretical research.

Educational Opportunities

Employers and company owners expect civil engineering graduates to come from an educational background, to understand the market and to be competent in adapting themselves to leadership and group projects. For this reason, the students improve themselves through conducting experiments on building sites offering all the necessary conditions. Supervised by their teachers, students take part in scientific

Career Areas

Civil engineering graduates are obliged to develop an educational understanding that is close to that present in the market and be competent in adapting themselves to leadership and group work.

Students graduating from Department have a wide range of career opportunities as they can find careers in projects such as the construction of basic engineering buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels, railways, airports, ports, sewerage networks, water treatment plants, dams and ponds. They can work in public institutions, the private sector or in their own institutions. Since it the need for civil engineers will increase in the future, students have a high possibility of finding a livelihood.
