Department of Civil Engineering in Near East University was founded in 1992.
The Department has two bachelor of science programme: English and Turkish,
thus, the language of instruction is English and Turkish in each corresponding
BSc programme.
Mission
Civil engineering has been a fundamental aspect of life since the beginning of
history. The discipline of civil engineering deals with the planning, design and
construction of buildings, bridges, tunnels, transportation facilities and other
structures required for the health, welfare, safety, employment and pleasure of
the society and for environmental control and use of natural resources.
Vision
As the Department of Civil Engineering, our fundamental principles are based
on sharing our academic knowledge and professional experience with our
students and providing them with the ability and insight to use the required
analytical skills to solve engineering problems by making fast and efficient
decisions through good use of resources with an absolute respect to ethics. The
Department of Civil Engineering also aims to train high-qualified civil
engineers whose talents, skills, abilities and knowledge meet the requirements
and needs of the state and private institutions, and support development as well
as contributing advancements in the civil engineering field, and carry out
research facilities to bring new insight into the academic bases of this field.
