About the department | North Border University

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the College of Engineering, Northern Border University, in 2007. The department provides a single program, the Civil Engineering Program, which grants a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering. The program's first batch graduated in the academic year (2012-2013) corresponding to (1433-1434 AH). ). The Accreditation Board accredited the program for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in 2018. The program was also submitted for accreditation from the National Center for Academic Accreditation and Assessment (NCAAA), and accreditation visit was in February 2023.
