Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with planning, designing, construction and maintenance of structures, and altering geography to suit human needs. Some of the many subdivisions are the following: transportation (e.g., railroad facilities, airports and highways); hydraulics (e.g., river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply, dams and sewage disposal); and structures (e.g., buildings, bridges, and tunnels).
For a better practical training, students can implement their knowledge in the University's avant-garde labs.
