Establishment and Growth of the Civil Engineering Department

The Civil Engineering Department at Yazd University was founded in 1988. Initially offering only an undergraduate program, the department has since expanded to include Master's programs in Structural, Geotechnical, and Water Resources Engineering. This growth reflects the department's commitment to providing a comprehensive education in the field of civil engineering.

Laboratory Facilities and Research Capabilities

The department has invested significantly in state-of-the-art laboratory equipment to support research and education. This equipment, sourced from reputable international companies, has been instrumental in conducting experiments and projects. The department is currently working on expanding its facilities to accommodate the needs of Ph.D. students in Structural Engineering, including the construction of a specialized structural laboratory.

Faculty and Collaborations

The Civil Engineering Department boasts a strong faculty with 20 full-time members and 4 scholarship holders. This dedicated team is committed to teaching, research, and service. The department actively seeks collaborations with other universities to foster knowledge exchange and enhance its academic offerings. A recent memorandum of understanding with Amirkabir University of Technology has paved the way for the establishment of a Ph.D. program in Civil Engineering.
