About DCEE


North South University (NSU) stands as the pioneering private university in Bangladesh, having been established in 1992. Consistently recognized for excellence, NSU has secured the top position among private universities in Bangladesh across various prestigious rankings, including Times Higher Education world university rankings, Asian university rankings, and QS University rankings.

In 2013, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DCEE) was inaugurated, marking a significant milestone in NSU's academic offerings. The department welcomed its first cohort of students into the BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering program during the summer of 2013.

The primary goal of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEED) at NSU is to furnish students with the highest caliber of technical expertise, instill in them a sense of social responsibility, nurture leadership qualities, and foster a culture of lifelong learning. This holistic approach aims to equip graduates with the skills necessary for successful careers in civil engineering.

Notably, the BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering program received accreditation from the Board of Accreditation of Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE) of the Institution of Engineers (IEB) in 2019, marking a significant achievement. It is worth highlighting that NSU's BSCEE program was the first in Bangladesh to be accredited under the Outcome Based Education system.

Furthermore, the accreditation of the BSCEE program was renewed by BAETE in 2023, extending its accreditation for another four years. Once again, NSU's program led the way as the first to receive accreditation renewal.

Building upon its successes, DCEE introduced the Master of Science in Civil Engineering program in the summer of 2024. Detailed information about the M.Sc. in Civil Engineering program can be found on the respective program pages.

In subject-specific rankings by Times Higher Education, DCEE has consistently been ranked #1 in Bangladesh for both 2023 and 2024, further solidifying its position as a leader in the field of civil engineering education and research.
