Introduction
Civil & Environmental engineers are involved in almost every aspect of our daily lives. They shape the environment in which we live on both the micro and macro scales by designing, constructing, and operating various types of public and private facilities such as roads, bridges, water & energy systems, ports, railways, airports, and residential complexes.
The Civil & Environmental Engineering degree program is based on an innovative curriculum of systems-based education (where engineering problems are tackled in an integrated way), combined with specializations in the disciplines of civil & environmental engineering.

Curriculum
Capstone project
The Capstone Project is a 2-semester common course for all engineering programs which spans the fall and spring semesters of the same academic year. The importance of the Capstone project is reflected in the total number of credits it carries, being 12 ECTS which are equivalent to two standard-sized courses.
One of the important features of the Capstone Project is “learning by doing”. It is intended to be a platform for the students to develop their intellectual and innovative abilities and to give them the opportunities to integrate and apply the knowledge and analytical skills gained in previous stages of their study. It should also provide students with opportunities to develop their problem-solving skills and communication skills. The process from concept to final implementation and testing, through problem identification and the selection of appropriate solutions, will be practiced by the students.
