Overview on the Department


The Department of Civil Engineering, established in the academic year 2002/2003 at the University of Science and Technology (UST), is the first civil engineering department among private universities in the Republic of Yemen. It reflects UST’s commitment to providing advanced higher education locally and regionally, preparing competent engineers equipped with foundational knowledge, technical expertise, and practical skills to develop infrastructure and serve society across diverse civil engineering fields in line with labor market demands. Guided by UST’s strategic vision, the department has undergone three academic development cycles, including transitioning to a credit-hour system in 2017 and refining course descriptions. Since its first graduating class in 2006/2007, the department has graduated 1,636 engineers by the end of the 2022/2023 academic year.

Program Vision
