The Department of Built and Natural Environment, formerly known as the Department of Civil Engineering, was among the first departments to be formed when the Caledonian College of Engineering was established. Ever since, it has been operating as a significant faculty of the college, dedicated to producing capable engineers with skills readily employable in the local market.

Commencing operation with just a handful of students in 1996, the department has seen substantial growth in terms of programmes on offer as well as in terms of student population. The department currently has 216 students registered on its rolls.

Mission of the Department:

“The department shall strive to attain and uphold the standards set by the university college and in so doing shall aim to be the premier abode of higher learning, a fountain of knowledge and a resource base for the industry in Oman and the region.”
