Department of Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is the oldest professional engineering discipline, broken into several sub- disciplines including-environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, water resources, materials, coastal, surveying, and construction engineering. The Scope of Civil Engineering exists in both the public and private sectors. Civil engineers play a key role in the design, construction, maintenance, and development of new and existing facilities and structures.

The Team

The team comprises of dynamic individuals dedicated to developing students by enabling a deep understanding of fundamental principles and dedication to Rashtriya Nirman.

Labs

All the labs of Civil Engineering Department are equipped with the latest machines, survey equipment and software. The facility has – Total Station, Dumpy levels, AutoCAD, equipment for – Advance survey Designs, Fluid Mechanics, Construction Technology & Building Materials, Soil Testing, Strength of Materials, etc.

Industry Interface

The Department of Civil Engineering has a collaboration with Heidelberg cement and Gammon India which exposes the students to all the current industry technology and practices. Additionally hands on training is imparted by industrial experts during regular field visits to road and other civil construction sites, bridges, dams, and railway lines.
