The Publication cum-information office
Directorate of Advisory, Extension and Research Services
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, abbreviated as
On behalf of the Department of Chemical Engineering
BUET, is the oldest institution for the study of Engineering and
Bangladesh University of Engineering
Architecture in Bangladesh. The history of the institution dates back to the
and Technology, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh
days of Dhaka Survey School which was established at Nalgola 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 1948, the School was upgraded to Ahsanullah
Engineering College (on its present premises) as a Faculty of Engineering
under the University of Dhaka, offering four-year bachelor’s courses in
Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering with a view to meet
the increasing demand for engineers in the country and to expand the
facilities for quicker advancement of engineering education. In order to
create facilities for postgraduate studies and research, Ahsanullah
Engineering College was upgraded to the status of a University under the
name of East Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology in the
Printed by:
year 1962. After independence of Bangladesh in 1971, it was renamed as
Memorial Offset Printers
the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. Starting with
67/68 Jogenagor Road Wari, Dhaka-1203
two faculties, the university has now enlarged into five faculties.
Phone : 7117342
The BUET campus is in the heart of the city of Dhaka. It has a compact
campus with halls of residence within walking distance of the academic
buildings. The physical expansion of the University over the last ten years
has been impressive with construction of new academic buildings, students’
hall of residence etc.
