CIVIL ENGINEERING PROGRAM

Civil Engineering Program Website

Civil Engineering is the art and science of planning and developing the built environment that forms the infrastructure of civilization. In this connection, civil engineering encompasses analysis, design and scientific research in a variety of fields such as structures, structural mechanics, construction materials, geodesy, hydromechanics, water resources, transportation, topography and construction management. All these activities are based on economic, safety and esthetic considerations.

METU NCC Civil Engineering Program

The goal of the METU NCC Civil Engineering Program is to educate future engineers who can apply basic science in the analysis and synthesis of complex civil engineering problems, who are competent in oral and written communication, and who can co-operate with disciplines other than engineering. In this regard, graduates are expected to have developed skills in critical thinking, searching and learning, adherence to ethical principles, leadership qualities, and the ability to maintain interaction with social environment in which they live.

The METU NCC Civil Engineering curriculum has been designed and based on current trends in engineering programs as well as the needs of the Middle Eastern countries, and comprises a series of compulsory and elective courses in the areas of structural mechanics, water resources, geotechnical engineering, construction materials, surface transportation, construction management and geodesy.

Career Opportunities

METU NCC Civil Engineering graduates will have career opportunities in both the public and private sector in any field of civil engineering. With a strong background in engineering and communication skills, they can be especially sought after candidates for companies operating in the Middle East and Euro-Asia. Those who would like to carry on with academic research will have ample opportunities both in Turkey and elsewhere, due to the analytical abilities they have gained by following the curriculum.
