Civil Engineering

Department of Civil Engineering

Since 2009 A.D., National College of Engineering (NCE) has offered a Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. The Bachelor of Civil Engineering (BE Civil) program has its emphasis on professional engineering that works with the organization, conception, development, and upkeep of the physical infrastructure constructed in the natural environment. Civil Engineering is about creating public or private projects including roads, bridges, tunnels, channels, canals, helipads, airports, dams, buildings, parks, or sports facilities. We have made it our mission from the start to provide our students with the most recent Civil Engineering knowledge, skills, and values so they can compete and contribute both locally and globally. Helping people and reshaping the natural world are the two main goals of civil engineering. Additionally, the goal of this department is to give students a solid foundation in analytical and experimental skills that they can use in a variety of civil engineering fields, including transportation engineering, structural engineering, surveying, urban engineering, water resource engineering, geotechnical engineering, etc. We guarantee that all aspiring students will be equipped with cutting-edge information that will open the door to a bright future in your field of specialization.
Department of Civil Engineering is equipped with cutting-edge labs, academically esteemed teaching staff, and industry-proven standards. Along with educating you and broadening your field of knowledge through elective courses, seminars, trainings, workshops, field trips, survey camps, etc., we work to develop you into a competent engineer and a better person who can benefit society, the country, and the entire world.
Along with normal classes, the department regularly arranged study tours and field trips on a variety of topics, including hydropower, irrigation, transportation, water supply, sanitary facilities, geology, and construction materials.
For third-year students, a ten days survey camp is held as a requirement for their studies.

Research and Development Unit works closely with both national and international universities, governments, and agencies, in this endeavor , a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the International Urban Training Center (IUTC), South Korea, and the National College of Engineering College (NCE) has been signed for the purpose of training in Korea, faculty exchange program both teachers and students. NCE Students are encouraged for their research activities, so any further information required in this aspect can be obtained from the respective Research & Development Unit. With qualified and enough full-time faculty members as well as highly experienced visiting faculties the Department of Civil Engineering at National College of Engineering (NCE) is working energetically to provide and enhance all academic activities for excellence. This department is running successfully at NCE since 2066 and there is Civil Engineering Student’s Society-National College of Engineering (CESS-NCE} for pursuing academic activities of the students. All the academic buildings and laboratories are located at student friendly and peaceful environment which is within the walk able distance from the main street road (ring-road).Students are provided with ideal study environments. Several academic field visits like Geology site visits, Hydrology field work. Irrigation tour, Transportation and Construction site visit. Survey Camp etc. are arranged by the Department as per IOE curriculum. Additional activities such as guest lectures. workshops, seminars. exhibitions, educational participants visits. etc are conducted for the growth of students and to enhance the learning process among them.
