School of Civil Engineering
The Department of Civil Engineering has been established in the College since the year 2009 with an annual intake of 60 students for Under Graduate course. In tune with the growing demand profile globally for CIVIL ENGINEERING, the Under Graduate intake level was enhanced to 120 from the academic year 2012-13.
The department started Post Graduate course in Structural Engineering with intake of 24 in the year 2014.The Department has grown tremendously over the years and is now recognized as one of the major engineering departments in the country. The department has developed strong links with the building and construction industry and academic and research. Besides high quality teaching and instruction at both UG and PG levels. The Department of Civil Engineering with its multifaceted faculty continues to maintain and cultivate its strong links with the infrastructural industry and academic and research institutions.
It has well equipped laboratories in the fields of Surveying, Fluid Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Engineering Geology and Environmental Engineering, Geo Technical Engineering, Highway Engineering, Concrete Technology, CAD and RS & GIS.
Faculty members are encouraged to improve their academic qualification and gain experience by attending FDPs, workshops, conferences etc. To meet the current industry needs, the students are trained in the usage of Total Station (survey equipment), and latest software in Structural Design, AutoCAD, STAAD-Pro etc. They are encouraged to present research papers at workshops and conferences, and to participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities. The Department is determined to organize Guest lectures/Workshops/Seminars/FDPs by eminent personalities and industry experts.
