Conference Overview

Welcome to the Conference on Sustainability in Civil Engineering (CSCE), organized by the Department of Civil Engineering at Capital University of Science and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan. The conference focuses on highlighting sustainability in the field of civil engineering. It aims to provide a platform for civil engineers from academia and industry to share practical experiences and research findings in their respective specializations. We hope all participants find this an excellent opportunity for academic and industrial communities to address emerging challenges, exchange solutions, and discuss future research directions. The conference features multiple parallel sessions covering various specialties, fostering interaction among researchers and engineers to enhance their understanding of sustainability in civil engineering.

Conference Venue

Capital University of Science & Technology (CUST) Islamabad Pakistan was established in 1998 as Islamabad Campus of Mohammad Ali Jinnah University (MAJU) Karachi and achieved its recognition in the country and abroad by maintaining excellent academic standards. CUST is a comprehensive Institution which have faculties including Engineering, Medicines, Natural Sciences, Management, Computing, Humanities and Arts. Faculty of Engineering has three Departments: Electrical Engineering; Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering. The Department of Civil Engineering is dedicated to produce quality professional engineers with abilities to design, manage and operate Civil Engineering based fields. It is due to quality education that Capital University of Science and Technology has achieved the honour for being among top few Pakistani universities and the first among private institutions whose BS Civil Engineering Program is accredited on Outcome Based Assessment (OBA) by Pakistan Engineering Council. The department is also offering graduate programs in four specialization areas.
