FACULTY OF ENGINEERING
Excellence in Education & Research
The Faculty of Engineering at Somali International University (SIU) educates the engineers that Somalia's reconstruction and digital economy depend on. The Faculty prepares graduates to design, build and maintain the roads, water systems and other infrastructure that the country's reconstruction and urbanisation depend on.
Teaching is delivered by qualified academic staff and experienced industry practitioners, supported by modern laboratories, project-based coursework, and an accredited-standard quality assurance framework. Every programme in the Faculty combines a strong scientific foundation with hands-on practice, professional ethics, and a compulsory industry internship, so that graduates arrive in the workplace ready to contribute from the first week.
The Faculty maintains close working relationships with construction firms, consulting engineers, government ministries and municipalities. These partnerships shape our curricula, provide training placements for students, and open employment pathways for graduates in Somalia and across the region.

Office of the Dean
Dean, Faculty of Engineering
Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering at Somali International University.
Our Faculty exists to answer a practical question: who will build the Somalia of the next twenty years? The answer is our students. In the Department of Civil Engineering, we prepare young Somalis to design durable infrastructure — the roads, bridges, water and sanitation systems that a rebuilding, urbanising nation depends on.
We are proud of a teaching team that combines academic qualification with real professional experience, and of a learning environment that puts students in laboratories, on construction sites and surveying camps rather than leaving them with theory alone. Our students are encouraged to think independently, work in teams, compete, publish, and take part in the wider scientific, cultural and sporting life of the University.
We work continuously with employers in both the public and private sectors to secure internships and employment opportunities for our graduates, and we welcome partnerships with any institution that shares our commitment to quality technical education.
To every prospective student: if you want to build something that lasts, you are in the right place.
