Explore BE Civil Engineering – QUEST Nawabshah at University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar, including duration, eligibility and connected admission resources.

BE Civil Engineering at QUEST Nawabshah is a four-year, eight-semester morning-shift degree accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council. It is one of the oldest departments of the university and carries the highest self-finance fee of any QUEST discipline, a sign of its popularity with students from across Sindh.

Program Overview

Civil Engineering at QUEST covers engineering mechanics, surveying, structural analysis and design in concrete and steel, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulics and irrigation, water supply and sanitary engineering, construction management and estimation. The irrigation and water-resources content is especially relevant to Sindh, where canal systems and flood management are constant engineering concerns.

Students who like physics and mathematics and want to see their work built in concrete and steel will find the discipline rewarding. It involves field work, surveying camps and site visits, so it is less desk-bound than most other engineering degrees.
