COURSE DESCRIPTION

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

PROGRAM: B. SC. IN CIVIL ENGINEERING (BSCE)

B. SC. IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

Objectives: Enables the individual to contribute to the field of construction and infrastructure development. Makes the graduates to take the responsibility of the environment to foster for development of housing and

standard of living.

Entry Requirements Minimum 2nd Class in S.S.C. and H.S.C. or a GPA of 2.00 or its equivalent with a total of 12 years

education. Must have Physics and Mathematics in the Pre-University Level. Any additional attainment above the minimum entry requirement may be credited to candidates’ accounts

by the decision of the Academic Council.

Duration of the ProgramNormally 4 years including period for internship/dissertation/project. However, students who have completed prior credits either from the BTEB, EDEXCEL (e.g. HND, ND, and other diplomas), etc. may be entitled to course exemptions or credit transfer provided that evidence of completion of degrees or courses with satisfactory grades is provided and is approved by the Academic Council. This will enable students to finish the degree in less than four years period.

Degree/Graduation RequirementsA student with 12 years formal pre-University education (i.e. S.S.C. + H.S.C. or its equivalent) must earn a total of 162 credits including internship/dissertation/project. A minimum GPA for graduation is 2.50 on a scale of 4.00 or any uniform system prescribed by the UGC. A student failing in any compulsory course will have to repeat the course.

The University follows the American System of Evaluation and Assessment prevalent in most North American universities and considers exemptions for prior credits earned by candidates beyond 12 years of education. Since, students with Diploma degree, under the Bangladesh Technical Education Board (BTEB) or any other similar body, have completed a year or more in addition to 12 years of the pre-university education and possess the technical and work based know how of engineering, they will require completing 142 credits for the B.Sc. in CE degree. Thus, the students will have the option of completing the degree program in less than four years time.

Grading System:The following grades are applied in the examinations for the students admitted before the Summer Semester of 2006:

Letter Grade Marks Range Grade Point Remarks

A+ 90 – 100% 4.00 Outstanding
