Brief History
The Department of Civil Engineering of the Osun State University is one of the two engineering departments under the College of Science, Engineering and Technology established in 2007/2008 academic session as part of the first phase of development of the University. Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree programme in Civil Engineering was approved by the University Senate and Council in the 2007/2008 academic session. The first set of students were admitted into Part I of the programme in August 2007.
The Department runs a 5-year undergraduate programme, operating 2-semester course units in its curriculum to acquaint the students with the basic knowledge, practices and current advances in the field of Civil Engineering. Civil Engineering is concerned with the planning, design, construction, maintenance and environmental impact of buildings, roads, airports, waterways, railways, bridges, tunnels, docks, offshore structures, dams, water supply, drainage and irrigation systems, and other major works.
The academic programme of the Department operates academic curricular tailored along the stipulations contained in the National Universities Commission (NUC) Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards and as required by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).
