Stamford University Bangladesh was established in Dhaka as a private university in 2002 under the private university act as amended in 1988 with the approval of Ministry of Education. Department of Civil Engineering is one of the pioneer departments of the university since its establishment. The department awards the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (B.Sc. in Civil Engineering) and this particular prominent program of this university was launched on the Spring of 2004, and acquired its approval from University Grants Commission on 21st of November 2005. Since the day of its establishment, almost 33,260 students graduated from 28 different programs in 14 departments under 5 faculties and the Department of Civil Engineering contributed 3215 students to this number.

Department of Civil Engineering has five major divisions: Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Environment Engineering, and Water Resource Engineering. There are eight distinct labs for this divisions, and one respective faculty member is in charge for each lab. Our labs contain high end delicate devices which assist in performing top-notch research. Students alongside faculties work in these labs and publish their findings in high impact factor international journals.

Right now our department has 33 full time faculty members, most of which are from BUET, and the rest are from other renowned govt. and private universities like RUET, KUET, IUT, AUST etc. Many of our faculties have higher education from USA, Japan, Europe and many other countries. All of our faculties are extremely qualified at their respective fields and passionate about teaching and research.
