COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
Welcome to the Department of Civil Engineering at King Khalid University. Civil engineering is at the heart of national development, creating safe, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure that improves the quality of life. In alignment with Saudi Vision 2030, our department is committed to educating future engineers who combine strong fundamentals with innovation, leadership, and professional ethics.
Our academic approach reflects international best practices seen at leading engineering schools worldwide: rigorous engineering science, design-oriented learning, and meaningful real-world engagement. Students’ progress from foundational concepts to advanced applications through capstone projects, field-based learning, and modern tools for analysis, simulation, and digital delivery.
Our faculty members are active scholars and practitioners across key civil engineering domains, including structural, geotechnical, transportation, construction management, and environmental engineering. We prioritize research that addresses real challenges, such as sustainable materials, resilient infrastructure, road safety, smart mobility, water and environmental systems, and risk-informed decision-making, while strengthening collaboration with industry and public-sector partners.
Located in the Asir region with its distinctive terrain and climate, our department has a unique living laboratory. This context enriches our teaching and research and supports solutions tailored to local needs with national impact.
Whether you are a prospective student, a partner in industry, or a fellow researcher, we invite you to connect with us through collaboration, innovation, and service. Together, we will shape infrastructure that is safer, smarter, and more sustainable for generations to come.
Warm regards,
Dr. Abdullah Faiz Alasmari
