The physical expansion of the University over the last three decades has been impressive with construction of new academic buildings, auditorium complex, halls of residence, etc.
BUET is the oldest institution
for the study of Engineering and Architecture in Bangladesh. The history of
this institution dates back to the days of Dhaka Survey School which was
established at Nalgola, in Old Dhaka in 1876 to train Surveyors for the then
Government of Bengal of British India. As the years passed, the Survey School
became the Ahsanullah School of Engineering offering three-year diploma courses
in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. In recognition of the generous
financial contribution from the then Nawab of Dhaka, it was named after his
father Khawja Ahsanullah. It moved to its present premises in 1912. In 1947,
the School was upgraded to Ahsanullah Engineering College as a Faculty of
Engineering under the University of Dhaka, offering four-year bachelor’s
courses in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical and Metallurgical
Engineering. In order to create facilities for postgraduate studies and
research, Ahsanullah Engineering College was upgraded to the status of a
University in 1962 and was named East Pakistan University of Engineering and
Technology. After the war of Liberation in 1971, Bangladesh became an
independent state and the university was renamed as the Bangladesh University
of Engineering and Technology.
Till today, it has produced
around 25,000 graduates in different branches of engineering and architecture,
and has established a good reputation all over the world for the quality of its
graduates, many of whom have excelled in their profession in different parts of
the globe. It was able to attract students from countries like India, Nepal,
Iran, Jordan, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Palestine.
Both Undergraduate and
Postgraduate studies and research are now among the primary functions of the
University. Eleven departments under five faculties offer Bachelor Degrees,
while most of the departments and institutes offer Masters Degrees and some of
the departments have Ph.D. programs. In addition to its own research programs,
the university undertakes research programs sponsored by outside organizations
like European Union, UNO, Commonwealth, UGC, etc. The expertise of the
University teachers and the laboratory facilities of the University are also
utilized to solve problems and to provide up-to-date engineering and
technological knowledge to the various organizations of the country.

Academic Information
The departments and institutes of the University are responsible
for the academic activities which include teaching, research and industrial
consultancy.
The University has introduced the course system for undergraduate
studies from the academic session 1990-1991, commencing from October, 1992.
Under this system there are two terms in an academic year. Each term provides
for a minimum of fourteen instructional weeks. The medium of instruction is
English. Students are evaluated on a continuous basis throughout the term.
Postgraduate studies and research are now among the primary
functions of the University. Most of the departments and institutes have
Masters and PhD programs. Currently, each academic year is divided into two
semesters: April Semester and October Semester. For theory courses the number
of class-weeks in a semester is fourteen. Research work is evaluated on the
basis of the review of thesis/project by peer examiners both from within the
University and outside the University.
The teachers of the departments and institutes meet periodically
to review the courses and their contents; necessary changes are made to meet
the needs and trends from time to time. Course syllabi and ordinances in
respect of the academic program of study are prepared by the Academic Council,
the highest academic body within the University.
Faculties
BUET is the leading technical university in Bangladesh with strong
and diverse research and teaching programs in the departments under five
faculties. Undergraduate programs in the Faculties of Engineering, Civil
Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering
extend over four years and lead to B.Sc. Engineering degrees. On the other
hand, in the Faculty of Architecture and Planning, the degree of Bachelor of
Architecture is obtained in five years and the degree of Bachelor of Urban and
Regional Planning in four years.
Postgraduate studies and research are now among the primary
functions of the University. Most of the departments under four faculties offer
Master of Science in Engineering (M.Sc. Engg.), Master of Engineering (M.
Engg.), and Master of Philosophy (M. Phil) degrees. Master in Architecture (M.
Arch.) and Master in Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) degrees are offered by the
Faculty of Architecture and Planning. Almost all departments under these
faculties offer Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs.
Institutes
Four institues in BUET were established for the advancement of
knowledge and development of human resources in the respective branch of
engineering and technology. IWFM and IICT offer both Postgraduate Diploma and
Masters programs, while the faculty members of IAT teach in other departments
institutes of BUET and also in organizations outside BUET.
