Structural Engineering Program
Program definition :
-The program is characterized by qualifying the student for the labor market by studying two projects for graduation in more than one discipline.
-During his studies, the student trains on the use of advanced technologies and specialized computer programs in the field of structural engineering through a number of distinctive applied courses for the program in accordance with the requirements of the labor market, and qualifies the graduate to work immediately upon graduation.
-The program is taught by a group of experienced and competent faculty members from multiple local and international scientific schools, mainly from the Department of Civil Engineering.
-The program provides students with internal training as well as external training in companies, specialized offices and sites related to the field of specialization, and the student is evaluated after submitting a report from the training body, through a presentation prepared by the student and delivered and discussed by a committee of professors from the specialty.
-The program provides students with the opportunity to train in specialized laboratories in a foreign university, as the program has activated a cooperation protocol with the University of Sherbrooke in Canada.
Program Mission:
