Where Passion Meets Opportunity
At the Department of Civil Engineering, World University of Bangladesh, we believe that true innovation begins where passion meets opportunity. Our programs are designed to ignite curiosity, nurture talent, and transform aspiring minds into future leaders of the civil engineering industry.
About Civil Engineering
The field of Civil Engineering is probably the broadest of all the Engineering fields, dealing with the creation, improvement, and protection of the communal environment — providing facilities for living, industry, and transportation, including large buildings, roads, bridges, canals, railroads, airports, water-supply systems, dams, irrigation, harbors, docks, aqueducts, tunnels, and other engineered constructions.
Like any other developing country, Bangladesh needs extensive infrastructure development. Since independence, numerous government and non-government projects have engaged thousands of civil engineers — and the demand continues to grow. The Department of Civil Engineering at World University of Bangladesh offers a comprehensive 4-year undergraduate program aligned with national needs and global standards, featuring Outcome-Based Education (OBE).
