Welcome to the Department of Civil Engineering (JKA)
The Department of Civil Engineering at Polytechnic Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin is a hub of technical excellence, dedicated to shaping the future of the nation’s infrastructure. The department is currently led by our Head of Department, Zahari Bin Mohamad, and is supported by our Heads of Programme:
- Muhamad Waridi Bin Hadzali: Head of Programme Diploma in Civil Engineering
Our department is powered by a dedicated team of 50 academic staff and 4 support personnel, all committed to providing a high-quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) experience.
Academic Excellence
We offer industry-relevant programs designed to meet the demands of the modern construction and engineering sectors:
- Diploma in Civil Engineering
To ensure our graduates are recognized globally, all programs are fully accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Council (ETAC). This accreditation guarantees that our curriculum, facilities, and teaching methods align with both national standards and international engineering benchmarks.
Vision, Mission & Educational Philosophy
In line with the Department of Polytechnic and Community College Education (JPPKK), we strive:
Visions:

Melahirkan graduan yang holistik, berjiwa usahawan, dan seimbang.
- To capitalise on smart partnership with stakeholders.
Memanfaatkan kerjasama pintar dengan rakan industri.
To bridge the gap between the classroom and the construction site, we implement a rigorous framework of Programme Educational Outcomes (PEOs) and Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs). These are specifically designed to produce graduates who are not only technically proficient but also innovative, ethical, and ready to lead in the global engineering landscape.
