The Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ প্রকৌশল বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়) commonly known by its acronym BUET, is a public technological research university in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Founded in 1876 as the Dacca Survey School and gaining university status in 1962, it is the oldest institution for the study of engineering, architecture, and urban planning in the country.[6][7]

BUET is considered to be the most prestigious university in Bangladesh for science and research.[8] A large number of BUET alumni are active in notable engineering and non-engineering roles in Bangladesh and abroad.[9][10]
