About the Department

Study in the Civil Engineering Department at Faculty of Engineering – Sohag University began since the establishment of the faculty in the academic year 2008/2009. Civil Engineering Department is considered one of the most important branches of engineering as it deals with the processes of building and constructing infrastructure. It is the one that specializes in planning and building various structures, including bridges, overpasses, and roads
. Agricultural irrigation systems, airports, water and sewage systems, huge buildings, dams and all buildings that help to raise the status of man, and to place all the resources of nature
Civil engineering is considered one of the important specializations in our lives, as it deals with the study and design of various buildings and all civil structures, while continuing to monitor these structures after their completion to ensure that the plan is proceeding according to the need and purpose of the construction, and analyzing the results to identify weaknesses and try to solve them as quickly as possible. This demonstrates that this specialization is not only about design and implementation, but also goes beyond that and is keen to monitor how the new facility is functioning…

1- Surveying and Geodesy Engineering, which focuses on the study of geometric geographic locations and spatial dimensions.
2- Sanitary Engineering, which focuses on the operation of sewage systems and water treatment plants.
3- Structural Engineering, which focuses on the design and construction of various structures, including metal, wood, industrial, residential, and concrete buildings
4-irrigation engineering focuses on studying the methods necessary to control irrigation systems and certain agricultural water infrastructure.

5- Road and traffic engineering focuses on the design and construction of roads, traffic engineering, and transportation engineering with the aim of improving traffic flow.
6- Fluid mechanics engineering focuses on studying the properties of fluids and their impact on various structures..
7-Management and construction engineering focuses on studying and implementing projects at a low cost and within a short timeframe.
8- Port and marine engineering focuses on the design and implementation of ports and marine facilities, including all related structures such as breakwaters, coastal protection systems, and docks.

A word from the Head of Department:

Welcome to the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Sohag University, Sohag, Egypt. The Department of Civil Engineering is one of the first departments in Faculty of Engineering Sohag University, which welcomed students in the academic year 2008/2009. The Department of Civil Engineering aims to prepare civil engineers familiar with the basics and skills of applied sciences, to keep pace with global standards.
 The department’s mission is to enhance students’ skills by providing specialized training courses and workshops, as well as offering postgraduate programs (diplomas, master’s degrees, and doctorates).
