Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering
Shaping the Frontiers of Civil & Architectural Engineering
The Department of Civil Engineering and Architectural Engineering at BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus, is built on one belief: great engineers don’t just design structures; they design progress. We create an environment where students learn by doing and solving real-world applications, under the guidance of faculty who bring real industry perspective and academic depth.
Our programmes offer deep exposure to structural engineering, transportation systems, water and environmental design, architectural solutions, as well as sustainable construction practices. Students benefit from internships, industry collaborations and research opportunities that help them develop untangible practical skills and professional readiness.
With an immense emphasis on sustainability and societal impact, we entrust graduates to create resilient, future-focused solutions across various sectors, including consulting, construction, architecture, planning and environmental.
