Bachelor in Civil Engineering
(Unavailable) The construction industry, which has grown tremendously over the last two decades, has risen again with the overthrow of the 2001 crisis. The need for qualified civil engineers who are in international standards, competent in advanced technologies and who can speak foreign languages is increasing both abroad and in the country, in the projects financed by foreign investors. Multifunctional complex constructions should be very well modelled in the computer environment and construction planning, inspection system and quality management system should be well structured so that construction projects can be built economically and in a very short period of time with international quality norms. These systems require knowledge of foreign languages, especially English, with knowledge of highly qualified computer (CAD, CAM), technology governance and building mechanics. These qualifications are available in only a small part of the current civil engineer’s stock in our country which is far from satisfactory. Therefore, the need for modern engineering technology, computer-aided design, application and governance knowledge and foreign language knowledge for civil engineers is increasing every day in our country.
In addition, for example, in Istanbul, 90% of structures need to be reinforced or renewed in 25 years so that they can become durable for earthquakes. This is one of the concrete proofs of need for civil engineers as defined above.
Experts specialized on computer-aided design and information systems and the faculty members who have practical experience have been teaching Architecture, Interior Architecture and Computer Engineering successfully. With the help of these experienced academics, Beykent University aims at educating qualified civil engineers needed by our country on modern Ayazağa Campus, which has recently been built with existing computer system infrastructure.
Program Specific Requirements
- None.
Learning Outcomes
- Students pursue career in sectors such as constructional design, construction business and real estate business. They may work as a manager, vice-manager, office and field engineers in national and international, public or private companies with different scales. With the awareness of life-long learning, they continue their education in Civil Engineering, Earthquake Engineering and Material Engineering in the country and abroad. Graduates of the programme may take leadership role in their professional life. They constantly develop themselves by attending vocational trainings and continuing training sessions.
Career Opportunities
- Civil engineers who graduate from our department have job opportunities in public and private sectors. By means of theoretical and practical educations given during their undergraduate programme, they can work as a project engineer, construction site engineer, quality control engineer in construction projects at national and international scales. Moreover, our graduates may continue their education with Master’s Degree and PhD in various branches of Civil Engineering at domestic and foreign universities and work as academicians at universities.
