Civil Engineering

The Department of Civil Engineering pulls out all stops to create outstanding engineers - with advanced teaching techniques and learning aids for undergraduate students. CIVILENGINEERING DEPARTMENT of the institute started functioning right from the inception of the institute, in the year 2011. Students are not only made experts in technical aspects but also in interpersonal skills, a vital ingredient to excel in the fast-paced world.

Students gain practical experience from field visits to industries, dams and irrigation structures, construction sites, etc. Our teaching-learning process, involves industry experts and adjunct faculties to enhance the student's knowledge and also targets to bridge the gap that exists between academic curriculum and industrial demands. Students are motivated to take up research projects, to carry out regular industrial and field visits, to present papers in academic conferences which will enable them to excel in their selected career.

Highlights

  • Well qualified and experienced faculty members form the department.
  • Experts from industry are regularly invited to present lectures and to interact with students and faculty.
  • Industry representatives visit the campus to recruit students finishing their degrees.
  • Implement advanced teaching techniques and learning aids for undergraduate students
  • The labs are well equipped with state of the art infrastructure.
  • Site visits at Various reputed irrigation projects such as Polavaram project, Pattiseema project etc.

Vision, Mission, PEO's & PSO's

Vision of the CIVIL Department

To give the nation qualitative Civil Engineers, who can contribute for the construction of a better world with sophisticated infrastructural facilities, eco friendly houses, modern transportation facilities with a pollution free environment and to protect the precious natural resources of this planet.

Mission of the CIVIL Department

  • To shape the students into good entrepreneurs and to promote self confidence and all-round development of the student personality through special lectures, practical training programmes, field visits and technical seminars.
  • To train the students to acquire generic knowledge in the areas of Civil Engineering.
  • To continuously update the physical infrastructure through modernization,thrust area development, R & D and other schemes.
  • To generate knowledge base through sustained research and developmental efforts.
  • To produce engineers with self-confidence and overall personality who can be self employed and generate employment opportunities to fellow engineers and take active part in nation building, keeping in view the challenges of the future

Program Educational Objectives - PEO's

  • The main objective of the faculty is to guide them by the principles of sustainable development and global inter connectedness with the CIVIL structures, and make them understand the impact of CIVIL engg projects how they affect society and environment in case of failures.
  • To develop their Communication skills (Oral,Written,Visual,Graphic modes) which makes them to participate actively in their Communities and Profession when working as team leaders or members.
  • An intensive training is provided to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems in technical areas appropriate to CIVIL ENGINEERING.
  • To make them competent and engaged engineering professionals applying their technical & managerial skills in Planning, Designing and Construction.

Program Specific Outcomes - PSO's

  • Our graduates will become recognised experts working in government, Consulting firms and international organization around the world addressing some of the most challenging problems of our times.
  • An ability to communicate effectively and to use technical skills, modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
  • An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyse and interpret data in more than one civil engineering area.
  • Have the capability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems in technical areas appropriate to civil engineering.
  • An ability to design a civil engineering system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
  • Have a knowledge of contemporary issues and can explain key concepts and problem-solving processes and also our Graduates have a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning and working towards professional licensing.

Why Civil Engineering ?


Civil engineering is arguably the oldest engineering discipline. It deals with the built environment and can be dated to the first time someone placed a roof over his or her head or laid a tree trunk across a river to make it easier to get across. The built environment encompasses much of what defines modern civilization. Buildings and bridges are often the first constructions that come to mind, as they are the most conspicuous creations of structural engineering, one of civil engineering's major sub-disciplines. Roads, railroads, subway systems, and airports are designed by transportation engineers, another category of civil engineering. And then there are the less visible creations of civil engineers. Every time you open a water faucet, you expect water to come out, without thinking that civil engineers made it possible.
