Civil Engineering

Program Overview

The Master of Science in Civil Engineering at Kingdom Foundation International University is a two-year graduate degree program designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and skills to excel in the field of civil engineering. The program offers a comprehensive education in the design, analysis, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure systems, including buildings, bridges, roads, waterways, and other large-scale projects. The program is structured to provide students with advanced knowledge in the theoretical foundations of civil engineering, as well as practical applications in the field. Students will have the opportunity to specialize in one of several areas, including structural engineering, transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, and environmental engineering. The program is delivered by a faculty of experienced civil engineers and researchers who are committed to providing students with a world-class education that prepares them for success in the field. The program is designed to be completed in two years, with students taking a combination of core and elective courses, as well as participating in a research project or thesis. The program is designed to achieve the following learning outcomes: * Apply advanced knowledge of civil engineering principles to design and analyze infrastructure systems * Develop and apply advanced mathematical and computational models to civil engineering problems * Apply advanced knowledge of materials science and engineering to design and analyze civil engineering systems * Develop and apply advanced knowledge of project management, finance, and policy to civil engineering projects * Demonstrate an understanding of the social, economic, and environmental impacts of civil engineering projects * Apply advanced knowledge of sustainable design and development principles to civil engineering projects * Develop and apply advanced knowledge of construction methods and materials to civil engineering projects * Apply advanced knowledge of transportation engineering principles to design and analyze transportation infrastructure systems * Apply advanced knowledge of geotechnical engineering principles to design and analyze geotechnical infrastructure systems * Apply advanced knowledge of environmental engineering principles to design and analyze environmental infrastructure systems * Demonstrate an understanding of the professional and ethical responsibilities of a civil engineer * Apply advanced knowledge of engineering economics and project management to civil engineering projects * Apply advanced knowledge of engineering statistics and data analysis to civil engineering problems * Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of lifelong learning and professional development in civil engineering * Apply advanced knowledge of computer-aided design and analysis tools to civil engineering problems * Apply advanced knowledge of geographic information systems and remote sensing to civil engineering problems * Apply advanced knowledge of surveying and mapping principles to civil engineering problems * Apply advanced knowledge of construction law and contracts to civil engineering projects Graduates of the Master of Science in Civil Engineering program at Kingdom Foundation International University will be well-prepared for advanced careers in the field of civil engineering, including positions in government, industry, and consulting. They will also be well-prepared to pursue further education, such as a Ph.D. in civil engineering or a related field.
