We are located at Hapugala nearby the beautiful coastal city, Galle, in the Southern province of Sri Lanka.<br \/>\nThe Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has become a regional plus national hub for innovation, research excellence and community services in the country. The Department produces 125 graduates annually and these graduates hold key positions in both Industry and Academia, not only in Sri Lanka even in many other countries of the globe.<br \/>\nThe field of Civil Engineering is very broad, covering many areas such as planning, design, construction of buildings, highways, bridges, irrigation schemes, water supply schemes, wastewater disposal, hydropower projects, transmission towers for electricity, telecommunication towers, tunnels, underground powerhouses, etc. It is a broad field where technology has been developing very fast that has enabled more and more sophisticated lifestyles for people despite the continuous increase in the global population.<br \/>\nIn addition, as a department, we always push beyond the boundaries of knowledge and practice in Engineering through various research activities thus often has received national and international recognition. Currently, the department engages formal courses that lead to M.Phil and MSc degrees in Civil Engineering<br \/>\nThe degree programme has the flexibility so that students could make their own choices and provides an environment that prepares students for the world of work. The department strives to provide a very attractive learning environment so that students could gain familiarity with the state of the art technology and practices. An effort is taken to ensure that the desirable engineering graduate attributes are achieved through teaching coupled with advanced learning and assessment schemes. The department has maintained accreditation with the Washington Accord through the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka (IESL).<br \/>\nI wish you a very pleasant stay in the Department of Civil Engineering. The staff and I will make every effort to provide an education that will make you a competent Civil Engineer with significant knowledge and skills in design, analysis, synthesis, application, management, etc. who will be able to serve the Civil Engineering profession within and outside Sri Lanka with confidence and distinction.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=&#8221;Organization&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1408632650589-1-0&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Justify;\">The Faculty of Engineering, University of Ruhuna was established on 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0July 1999 at Hapugala, Galle. First batch of students was admitted on 27<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0March 2000. It is the third state Faculty of Engineering in Sri Lanka after those at University of Peradeniya and University of Moratuwa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Justify;\">The infrastructure for the faculty was well supported and driven by one of the former Minister of Education (the late) Honorable Richard Pathirana. As a result, within a short period of time (in 3 years), a large scale infrastructure complex was built at Hapugala, including three Department Buildings with Laboratories, an Administration Building, a Computer Centre, a Guest House, a Lecture Theater Complex with two large Drawing Offices, three Student Hostels, a Canteen with Medical Unit and Student Center, a Library; twenty Staff Quarters, internal roads and a Security Building. All of these facilities were designed for quick and easy access, and ample\u00a0provision was made for future expansion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Academic Departments and Fields of Specializations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Justify;\">The Faculty consists of four Academic Departments, namely Civil and Environmental Engineering (DCEE), Electrical and Information Engineering (DEIE), Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (DMME), and Interdisciplinary Studies (DIS). At the commencement, the faculty offered three (03) General Engineering Degree Programs specialized in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Information Engineering, and Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. The Department of Interdisciplinary Studies was established mainly to extend the support for other three department by delivering courses in Mathematics, Management, Engineering Economics, Communication, Humanities, Social Sciences, Arts, Professional Ethics and other similar multi-disciplinary areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Justify;\">Recently, another two (02) fields of specializations; Computer Engineering, and Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture have been introduced to facilitate more preferences for undergraduate students. As a result, the last student intake to the faculty from 2019\/2020 A\/L Mathematical stream was recorded as 530.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Semester-based System for Engineering Education<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Justify;\">From the start, the faculty introduced a semester-based system for Engineering Education of students. In this system, a year is divided into two semesters, and a semester continues for a period of nineteen weeks in total. The time allocation for a semester is further divided as; First Half (7 weeks), Recess (1 week), Second Half (7 weeks), Study Period (1 week), Examination (2 weeks) and Vacation (1 week). The two other Engineering Faculties at Peradeniya and Moratuwa have adopted a similar semester-based system two years thereafter, replacing their old style British system of year-end examinations.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=&#8221;Introduction to DCEE&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1408632652419-2-4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;58915&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;]<div class=\"standard-arrow list-divider bullet-top\"><h1><b>Vision\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vision of the Department is to become an outstanding, well-recognized academic centre of excellence in Civil and Environmental Engineering in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<h1><b>Mission<\/b><\/h1>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the mission of the Department, to produce highly skilled, dedicated, and knowledgeable civil and environmental engineers who will excel in their chosen careers.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h2><b>Program Outcomes (POs)<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Ability to apply knowledge of basic science and engineering fundamentals.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Ability to communicate effectively, not only with engineers but also with the community at large.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"fontstyle0\">In-depth technical competence in at least one engineering discipline.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Ability to undertake problem identification, formulation and solution.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Ability to utilize a systems approach to design and operational performance.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Ability to function effectively as an individual and in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams, with the capacity to be a leader or manager as well as an effective team member.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Understanding of the social, cultural, global and environmental responsibilities of the professional engineer, and the need for sustainable development.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Understanding of the principles of sustainable design and development.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and commitment to them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Expectation of the need to undertake lifelong learning, and capacity to do so.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Department, in consultation with Industrial Consultative Committee (ICC) and Ruhuna Alumni Association of Civil and Environmental Engineering (RACEE) has developed six programme educational objectives to support the program objectives.
