Department of Civil Engineering

Sustainable Infrastructure with disaster free management

The Department of Civil Engineering

Is for students...

who opts to inculcate skills and to master in the field of infrastructural development. Students should possess basic analytical skills to get exposure in emerging technology and to develop software tools for planning and designing of construction project.

To Become...

  • Engineers in Public and Private sector units
  • Entrepreneurs / Developers and Consultants in Civil Engineering domains – Residential, Commercial buildings, transportation systems, water supply and waste disposal networks

The Department of Civil Engineering was incepted in the year 2013 with a sanctioned intake of 60 students, Dr. S K Prasad is heading the department with experienced and dedicated faculty members having different specializations in Civil Engineering.

Six faculty members in the department are having doctoral degree, nine faculty members are working for Ph.D and one in the process of registering for Ph.D

The department is committed towards achieving excellence in technical education so as to produce competent and confident engineers.

The faculty members take personal care, counsel the students and motivate them at regular intervals. Further, the parents/guardians are informed about their attendance and progress of their ward. Tutorial classes & remedial classes are conducted to encourage the slow learners. Personality development and English communication classes are also conducted.

Vision

The Department of Civil Engineering will develop socially responsible civil engineers through quality education keeping pace with emerging technologies.

Mission

The Department of Civil Engineering will,

DM1: Provide quality education emphasizing on emerging technologies through competent staff and modern facilities
DM2: Imbibe logical thinking ability, communication skills, professional ethics, leadership and entrepreneurial qualities
DM3: Promote research for sustainable development
DM4: Establish collaborations with industry and academic institutions for mutual benefits
