CHAPTER 1
General Information
1.1 Introduction
Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) is one
of the prominent and leading, autonomous self-degree awarding
Universities of Bangladesh in the field of Engineering and
Technological education. It is unique and incompatible due to its
proximity of Chattogram, the major sea port and hill city of
Bangladesh. The University is situated alongside the Chattogram-Kaptai
road, 25 km away from the heart of commercial capital of
Bangladesh. Moreover, attractive tourist spots of the country like
the largest hydroelectric power plant at Kaptai, the natural lake of
Kaptai, hills of Rangamati and Bandarban, and the longest sea
beach of the world and tourist resort of Cox’s Bazar are a few hours
journey from the University. The University has a beautiful hill side
land of about 163 acres with a panoramic natural view. The main
vision of CUET is to send out graduates with trained and educated
minds, to serve as a source of intellectual potentiality. To foster and
promote a distinctive educational institute identity and spirit is one
of the basic goals of the university.

Engineering College, Chittagong.
December 28, 1968: The college started functioning by admitting
120 students in its first academic session under the faculty of
Engineering, University of Chittagong.
July 1, 1986: The college was declared as a self-degree awarding
institution and was renamed “Bangladesh Institute of Technology
(BIT), Chittagong”.
September 1, 2003: To enlarge the engineering education, the
institution was converted into a university named as ”Chittagong
University of Engineering and Technology (CUET)”.
1.3 Faculties and Departments
