Chair's Message
Dear Students, Faculty, and Visitors,
I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DCEE) at North South University (NSU). As the Chairman of this esteemed department, I am proud to lead a community of dedicated faculty members, researchers, and practitioners who are committed to excellence in civil engineering education and research.
Civil engineering holds a special place in the annals of engineering history, representing the oldest and most fundamental branch of engineering. At NSU, we embrace this rich heritage while also embracing innovation and adaptation to meet the evolving needs of the 21st century.
Our department's journey began in 2013, and since then, we have strived to uphold the highest standards of academic rigor, professional integrity, and ethical responsibility. We offer comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to excel in the dynamic field of civil engineering.
The roots of civil engineering in Bangladesh run deep, with a long history of monumental infrastructure projects and innovative solutions to address the nation's pressing challenges. As Bangladesh continues its journey towards progress and development, civil engineers play a crucial role in shaping the future of our nation.
At DCEE, we are dedicated to preparing our students to meet these challenges head-on, offering a curriculum that emphasizes sustainability, resilience, and inclusive development. Our undergraduate and graduate programs will prepare you for success with core civil engineering knowledge, expert academic advising, world-class faculty, innovative learning and a dedication to career advancement. Our faculty members are renowned experts in their fields, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to the classroom and laboratory. From the very beginning, NSU is very selective and has recruited the best quality faculty members having Masters or PhD degrees from internationally renowned universities, mostly from North America. Some of the faculty members have vast industry experience along with active professional engineering license i.e. P.E. (USA) or P.Eng. (Canada).
Furthermore, our department has forged strong partnerships with industry stakeholders, government agencies, and international organizations, providing students with opportunities for hands-on learning, internships, and research collaborations. In addition to Structural, Geotechnical, Materials, Hydraulics and transportation engineering laboratories of the Department, NSU has CE Computing lab, High performance computing lab, Physics/Chemistry/Biology labs, CAD lab, GIS lab, Computer labs, Environmental labs etc.
As we look to the future, the demand for skilled civil engineers will only continue to grow, both in Bangladesh and beyond. Whether you aspire to work in the public sector, private industry, research organizations, or international development agencies, a degree from DCEE will position you for success in a wide range of career pathways.
I invite you to explore our website, learn more about our programs, and join us in shaping the future of civil engineering at North South University. Together, let us build a brighter tomorrow through the power of engineering excellence.
Warm regards,
