Overview

This Department offers a five-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering. The course is designed to prepare students to design and construct buildings, roads, dams, and other structures that the agricultural and industrial development of Eritrea requires. Other students may be prepared to carry out basic research and development, creating methodologies and identifying appropriate local materials for the construction of buildings, roads, port facilities and other structures. The Department also aims to provide consultancy services related to the field.

Graduates from this program will have excellent job opportunities for some time to come in Eritrea. The number of qualified engineers in the country and the demand for engineers is incomparable. The need for engineers is obviously clear. Graduates may expect to be involved in designing structures of different civil works like buildings, highways, and bridges; supervising construction works; studying and designing water supply schemes, wastewater systems and other water related works like groundwater and dams, or leading construction works as site engineers.
