Civil engineering is one of the oldest and most essential branches of engineering, responsible for designing, constructing, and maintaining the physical infrastructure that supports modern life.

Civil engineers shape the world around us—from towering skyscrapers and massive dams to highways, bridges, and clean water systems. They don’t build structures; they make the foundation of a nation’s progress.

At Oxford Advance Engineering College, we offer a comprehensive 3-year Diploma in Civil Engineering program, affiliated with CTEVT, designed to produce technically skilled professionals who can contribute to infrastructure development and innovation in today’s Nepal and beyond.

Why Civil Engineering?

In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, the demand for skilled civil engineers is continuously rising. From sustainable city planning to earthquake-resistant structures and advanced transport systems, the scope of civil engineering is expanding across sectors like

• Aerospace infrastructure
• Urban Development
• Hydropower projects
• High-rise construction
• Transport and tunnel engineering
• Irrigation and flood control systems

Civil engineering is not just a profession—it’s a commitment to building a better, safer, and more connected society.

Program Objective – CTEVT Curriculum

The Diploma in Civil Engineering program is designed to equip students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for successful careers in the field. Our program covers all the essential skills you’ll need to tackle real tech challenges and excel in technical careers.

Upon completion, students will:

• Understand and apply fundamental principles of civil engineering.
• Demonstrate competency in drawing, estimation, surveying, and supervision.
• Utilize modern tools such as CAD and BIM to enhance project accuracy.
• Manage construction projects with strong technical and leadership skills.
• Respect professional ethics, safety standards, and environmental sustainability.
