Civil Engineering Department
About the department:
The Department of Civil Engineering at Helwan University College of Engineering was opened in 1986, based on the Department of Structural Sciences that existed in the College of Fine Arts in Zamalek, and since then this department has grown to be the largest department in the college in terms of the number of faculty members and the number of students enrolled in it at the level of the college and even the largest department at the university level during this short period that did not exceed three decades and achieved many successes.


Vision of the department:
Through the vision of the college, the Department of Civil Engineering seeks to provide outstanding educational study programs in terms of quality and modernity, and seeks to have outstanding applied research schools in the sciences of construction, building, water, transportation, traffic and environmental protection.
Department message:
Within the framework of the college's mission, the Department of Civil Engineering is committed to preparing civil engineers with outstanding preparation that meets the needs of the labor market in Egypt and the Arab region, and is committed to seeking leadership in the department's research schools so that the research in it keeps pace with global developments and works to transfer and localize science, knowledge and technology in the fields of building and construction (design and implementation), water engineering, utilities, heart and traffic engineering, and environmental protection.
