Welcome to Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
The Bachelor of Engineering and Technology B.Eng./B.Tech degree programme in Civil
Engineering is based on the philosophy that the rate at which a nation progresses technologically is determined to a great extent by the size, quality, motivation and orientation of its science and engineering workforce. The programme should, thus, seek to train civil engineers who can best contribute to national development. For this, they must be equipped with the tools to understand, analyse, design and construct and maintain all possible physical facilities that can possibly promote appropriate development by conceiving and adapting techniques, processes and materials as necessary.
In consequence of the above, the programme is structured in such a way that students will have opportunity to take courses that will provide a basic understanding of all areas of civil engineering practice.

Our Vision
To be the pace –setting Faculty of Engineering in Nigeria and beyond in producing excellent graduates in research, learning and character.
Our Mission
To provide the platform of high academic standard in both research and learning in Engineering.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
The objectives of the Civil Engineering programme is to train civil engineers who are equipped with a broad-based experience ranging from engineering analysis and design to laboratory testing and experimentation in all areas of Civil Engineering with further concentration in the later years on, at least, several of the specialities. They would be equipped with:
- A good grounding in basic engineering courses;
- A good grasp of the essential application and utility courses;
- A thorough understanding of the experimental and practical bases for the relevant theoretical engineering principles;
- A good knowledge of all the various branches of civil engineering with further specialisation;
- Construction engineering and management skills (combining engineering and management skills to complete construction projects designed by other engineers and architects);
- Geotechnical engineering skills (analysis of soils and rock in support of engineering projects/applications – building foundations, earthen structures, underground facilities, dams, tunnels, roads.);
- Structural engineering skills (design of all types of stationary structures – buildings, bridges, dams);
- Surveying skills (measure/map the earth’s surface in support of engineering design and construction projects and for legal purposes – locating property lines.);
- Transportation engineering skills (design of all types of transportation facilities/systems streets/highways, airports, railroads, other mass transit, and harbours/ports);
- Water resource skills (control and use of water, focusing on flood control, irrigation, raw water supply, and hydroelectric power applications);
- Environmental engineering (air pollution control, hazardous waste treatment and disposal, recycling and solid waste disposal, sanitary engineering (municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment);
- Substantial practical skills for tackling real life engineering problems; and
Knowledge of entrepreneurial and management principles
- upon which enterprising professional careers can be built.
