Abstract:
All praises to Allah-Sobhano-Taala -the I~ost Benevole~t a~d Merciful.
It gives me an immense pleasure to publish the new course curriculum
for undergraduate st~dies of civil engineering. After .an indefatigable
effort for the last two years, the curriculum in its present style and
content was passed' by the academic council of BUET in its 364th
meeting held on March 23, 2009. Credit hour distribution, course
contents are modified and upgraded for some courses. The syllabuses of .
most of the courses are updated after 17 years. .
Iwould like to eXpress my thanks and gratitude to all my colleagues of
the department, Heads of concerned departments, Deans of concerned
faculties and the Chairman and Members of Academic Council. Mr.
Raquibul Hossain and his team (all lecturers of the department in 2008),
.Dr.' Md. Mizanur Rahman (BUGS secretary), and Dr. Charisma F.
Choudhury (BlIS secretary) also deserve special thanks for their all out
effort and help in different stages of preparation of this booklet.
Although the current booklet retains the overall characteristics of its
previous versions, efforts have been made to incorporate the key
information that an undergraduate student of the department vis-a.-vis
his/her. Adviser may need to know for smoothly carrying out their
academic activities. SpeCial care has been taken in Chapter 3 where,
apart from repr9ducing articles from Rules mi.d Regulations for Course
System (May, 1999), all.the amendments that were subsequently made
to it (up to June 2009) have been incorporated in the booklet.
As with the practice of any Course System, it is likely that some of the .
rules and regulations published in this booklet may be modified in the
future. Students are, therefore, strongly advised to be in touch with their
Advisers regarding modifications, if any, that may be introduced by the
university at a later stage.
It is hoped that the information provided in this booklet will be useful to
the Advisers and' undergraduate students of the Department of Civil
Engineering.
