The faculty aims to bridge the increasing need for highly and globally qualified engineers. The faculty firmly believes that producing high-caliber technical brains will help develop the country and the world. The faculty produced and is producing thousands of engineers to meet the increasing demand for technical knowledge. It accepts thousands of students each academic year, developing and strengthening their understanding to be better and fruitful citizens of the country.
The biggest challenge for the development of Africa in general and Ethiopia in particular is the lack of sufficient infrastructure, which inhibits further growth and development. As a part of the Millennium Development Goals, all African nations, including Ethiopia, invest vast amounts of money in building infrastructure. The program of the government in the next few years is infrastructure development. Construction of horizontal and vertical projects is almost everywhere around the country. In this regard, the need for technical experts in this field is paramount. The Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (FCEE) aims to help produce this new breed of intellect in infrastructure development.
In addition to its BS graduates, the faculty has been producing MS graduates in structural engineering, highway engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic engineering, environmental engineering, and construction and engineering management for the past six years. In 2016, the faculty launched its PhD program in different areas of specialization with a solid linkage to Texas Tech University of the United States.
The Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (FCEE) is comprising of four different departments, namely:
- Department of Civil Engineering
- Department of Hydraulic and Water Resource Engineering
- Department of Water Supply and Environmental Engineering
- Department of Architecture and Urban Planning
