Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at Dhofar University, offered since 2010, is a four-year, English-medium undergraduate program that prepares students for professional practice, advanced study, and lifelong learning in civil engineering. The program develops strong foundations in mathematics, basic sciences, engineering sciences, engineering design, communication, and practical laboratory work. It covers the major fields of civil engineering, including structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydrology and water resources, environmental engineering, construction materials, and construction management. Through an internationally benchmarked curriculum, well-equipped laboratories, and active learning, the program equips students to address infrastructure and built-environment challenges relevant to Oman and beyond. Graduates are prepared for careers in consulting, contracting, construction supervision, public works, transportation, water and environmental services, infrastructure development, and related engineering sectors. The program is committed to high-quality standards and a robust continuous improvement cycle to ensure academic excellence, industry relevance, and sustained program effectiveness.

To prepare graduates for professional practice, lifelong learning, and leadership in civil engineering through strong engineering knowledge, design, problem-solving, ethics, teamwork, and communication, enabling them to contribute to sustainable infrastructure and the built environment.

• PEO1: Establish successful professional careers in civil engineering and related fields by applying engineering fundamentals, problem-solving skills, design competence, experimentation, and modern engineering tools to the planning, design, construction, and improvement of infrastructure and the built environment.
• PEO2: Demonstrate professionalism, ethical responsibility, effective communication, teamwork, and leadership while considering public health, safety, sustainability, and the broader societal and environmental impacts of engineering practice.
• PEO3: Engage in lifelong learning, professional development, innovation, research-informed practice, and community service, and continue to grow through advanced study, specialized training, or increasing professional responsibility.

By the time of graduation, graduates of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program will be able to:

• SO1: Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• SO2: Apply engineering design to develop solutions that meet specified needs while considering public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
• SO3: Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• SO4: Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments that consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
• SO5: Function effectively on a team whose members provide leadership, foster a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and achieve objectives.
• SO6: Develop and conduct appropriate experiments, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• SO7: Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed using appropriate learning strategies.

For admission to the program, a student must have:

• A General Education Diploma (or its equivalent), including Pure Mathematics and at least two of the following subjects: Physics, Chemistry, or Biology, and
• Passed the Foundation Program (FP) at Dhofar University (DU) or any other Higher Education Institution (HEI) recognized by the Ministry of Education.

To graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, students must complete the required credit hours for the program and achieve a minimum cumulative average of 65%.

In addition, students are required to complete a period of practical training through an eight-week internship. This requirement ensures that students gain relevant hands-on experience in industrial settings.

Students must also successfully complete a final-year project, which integrates the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program and demonstrates their ability to solve engineering problems independently.
