The faculty and staff of Civil Engineering Department is striving hard to impart highest level of excellence in teaching and research. The department has a galaxy of highly experienced Professors and talented young instructors, who leave no stone unturned in delivering state of the art knowledge of Civil Engineering to students, so that they can make their mark in professional life and research. The accreditation of B.Sc. Civil Engineering Program of UCP at level II by Pakistan Engineering Council is an evidence of teaching expertise and skills. The state-of-the-art laboratories of the department, equipped with latest machine and instruments, offer an opportunity to the students to practice hand on skills and improve their professional competence. The master’s program has set the pace for research and higher standard of education at post graduate level. The significant research output of PhD faculty is evidence of our progress in this arena. The faculty, students and staff all are committed to transform Civil Engineering Department, one of the best departments at national and international level.
