Building Engineering
& Construction Management (BECM), under the Faculty of Civil
Engineering, started journey as a new department
with 30 students in 2016 at Rajshahi
University of Engineering & Technology (RUET). This department functions as a center of
teaching, learning and research in the field of study concerned with the
technical performance of buildings, building materials, building systems and
construction management.
As a developing and
over-populated country, Bangladesh often lacks in construction safety, proper construction management, eco-friendly infrastructures, time management of
construction and professional structural guidance. A BECM graduate will be able
to learn about all the things that are needed to be known by an expert building
engineer, thus, he can act like a project leader in any kind of challenging
project. The area is broad
enough to include construction technology, material science, architecture, heat
and mass transport physics and structural design. Our graduates will be able to learn:
Project management of distinctive and
specialized project;
Structural Engineering for building structures;
Foundation Engineering;
Construction safety management;
Earthquake Engineering for seismic risk;
Architecture for building planning, designing
and construction structures;
Aesthetic and Moral development of a structure;
Maintaining the building's Digital Management;
Maximizing resource efficiency through
economics;
Maintaining HVAC control of a building.
