Department of Building and Construction Engineering Technology

Building and Construction Engineering Technology

Vision:

The department will be a distinguished and pioneering department in the field of building and construction engineering technology, providing the labor market with technical engineers capable of keeping pace with and transferring rapidly evolving technologies in this field, in addition to creating and providing job opportunities outside the public sector to serve the community and the community. These engineers will possess diverse skills, including the ability to provide safe and effective designs, manage complex projects, and ensure work quality and adherence to standards. Through its mission to prepare highly knowledgeable and skilled technical engineers, the Building and Construction Engineering Technology Department will provide education that is up-to-date and modern in its content.

Mission:

To prepare technologically proficient technical engineers capable of using modern technologies in the design, implementation, and maintenance of various engineering projects. It also aims to qualify them to manage and operate production units specialized in the manufacture of building materials and structural systems, and to develop their capabilities in examining various types of building materials and structures. The department also works to promote a culture of continuous learning, self-development, and access to reliable information sources. It also fosters and supports creativity, innovation, and development among students and graduates, taking into account cultural requirements related to our cultural heritage and economic needs. It also seeks to facilitate employment opportunities for graduates and reduce reliance on foreign talent.
