Department Of Civil Engineering

Home > Department Of Civil Engineering

Overview:

Considering the pace of development in Pakistan, the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute started the program of Civil Engineering in 2018. The Department offers a four years undergraduate program and a post graduate research degree in Civil Engineering.  The department has foreign qualified faculty members with a wide range of experience and expertise to deliver knowledge scholastically and produce qualified engineers with the capabilities to redefine the future of the nation through the state-of-the-art infrastructure projects. The Department has fully equipped laboratories and well-furnished classrooms with high quality of digital tools for effective learning process.

All the sub disciplines of Civil Engineering have been impeccably incorporated in the curricula of the program. Along with the laboratory tasks pertaining to academics and research work, all labs are well-equipped to carry out the commercial testing as well.

Mission:

The department aims to produce competent engineers who can work in the society, both as field professionals and academic researchers. The department also aspires to produce engineers who are able to provide solutions to various contemporary issues in the construction industry by unifying the theories, technical knowledge and practices of Civil Engineering.

Employability

Civil engineers play a vital role in delivering well-resourced, cost effective and timely construction of a variety of developmental projects from transport networks to Olympic stadia while ensuring that the integrity of the natural environment is unharmed.

The career prospects offered to graduates of civil engineering are also very diverse, from working as an engineering supervisor, surveyor, structural engineer, to employment as a 3d visualizer creating realistic animations and guidelines for construction teams.
