The civil engineering program at Al-Muthanna University was established to give its students a wide and detailed education in civil engineering basics, applications, and design that enable them to practice civil engineering at the professional level. The program mission is to provide them with the confidence and experience needed to meet the technical and social challenges of the future. In addition to use of modern engineering tools, the program gives education in mathematics, physics, engineering mechanics, and civil engineering to perform its mission. Graduates will be able to put themselves in the entry-level of civil engineering positions leading to professional engineering practices, and gain a solid undergraduate base which enables them to continue their learning at higher levels.

1. Develop into competent and engaged engineering professionals and applying their technical and managerial qualifications in the planning, designing, constructing, operating and/or maintaining of the built infrastructure and environment.
2. Using their skills to analyze and design systems, identify project’s execution means and materials, carry out cost estimation and analyses, and participate in directing technical activities for civil engineering projects or projects related to other fields of engineering. 
3. Be able to actively participate in their communities and their profession by developing their oral, written, visual and graphic modes communication abilities when working as team members or leaders.
4. Initiate a program of continuous learning which may include studies leading to a proficient licensure or a higher degree in engineering that provides continued development of their technical abilities and management skills, and attainment of professional expertise. 
5. Improve their understanding of sustainability, professionalism, ethics, quality performance, and safety that allows them to be professional influential to society when solving engineering problems and creating solutions in the field of civil engineering.
