The department was founded in the academic year 2012-2013, where it was recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research under the Ministry's letter No. 7161 dated 1/2/12/2012. Civil engineering is one of the branches of engineering and is concerned with the study, design and analysis of human buildings such as buildings, roads, bridges, airports, ports, sewage systems, dams, irrigation projects from canal and canal. Graduates of the preparatory scientific study only accept at least 70%, the study period is four years, The Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering is equivalent to the certificates awarded in the specialization from the Engineering Colleges / Civil Engineering Department at the University of Babylon and other Iraqi Universities. The first student in the first stage is entitled to transfer to the Department of Civil Engineering In a public university and gives graduates the profession of engineers and is entitled to practice civil engineering in the departments of the state and the private sector.

The department should be distinguished or integrated in all aspects of civil engineering in construction, construction, water, sanitation, roads, bridges, environment, etc., and keep abreast of the developments in all these specialties in the applied field.
