In order to satisfy the increasing dem<strong>and</strong> for relevant advanced technological education, the department <strong>of</strong>fers MSc degree<br />
courses in Structural <strong>Engineering</strong>, Water Resources <strong>and</strong> Irrigation <strong>Engineering</strong>, Transportation <strong>Engineering</strong>, Soil Mechanics <strong>and</strong><br />
Foundation <strong>Engineering</strong> covering the most recent developments. The courses contain a balance <strong>of</strong> analytical <strong>and</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
aspects <strong>and</strong> are designed to suit the needs <strong>of</strong> fresh graduates <strong>and</strong> those with pr<strong>of</strong>essional experience.<br />
The faculty has completed a number <strong>of</strong> research projects funded by HEC through the Directorate <strong>of</strong> Advanced Studies,<br />
Research <strong>and</strong> Technological Development. Research papers based upon applied research have been published in journals <strong>and</strong><br />
conferences <strong>of</strong> national <strong>and</strong> international repute.<br />
Most <strong>of</strong> the postgraduate students belong to the construction industry <strong>and</strong> act as a bridge for university–industry linkage<br />
that makes research in the department to be practical <strong>and</strong> useful for the country. The introduction <strong>of</strong> PhD program has further<br />
enriched the research activities in the department. Eight students has been awarded PhD degrees in various fields. Presently<br />
about 20 PhD scholars are pursuing their PhD research work.<br />
Research is being carried out in the following areas:<br />
