About The Department
Our department offers B.E. (Civil Engg.) and M.E.(Structural Engg). The department possesses highly qualified faculties with different specializations in Civil Engineering. Apart from teaching, faculty members are involved in extensive research and development. Thrust areas of research include geopolymer concrete, concrete with waste materials, composite materials and traffic noise pollution monitoring. Structural Engineering, Strength of Materials, Survey, Fluid Mechanics and Machinery, Soil Mechanics, and Environmental Engineering laboratories are available.
B.E. – Civil Engineering
This programme is designed to enable the student, to enter the profession?for example, in industry, on a construction project, in a consulting engineering office, through a government agency or to begin Post Graduate study, or both. The programme ?provides a broad traditional civil engineering background that focuses on basic theory and design. Technical electives can be selected to obtain a strong technical base in a particular field of civil engineering or other engineering disciplines. Civil engineers provide a major contribution to society. They design and construct the infrastructures we use every day, from the buildings we live, roadways we travel and the power stations that provide our homes with electricity. In civil engineering, students learn the design of foundations and superstructures as encountered in bridges and highways, industrial and residential buildings, airport runways, dams, urban transportation systems, and transit terminals.

REGULATIONS AND SYLLABI UNDER CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM
(REGULATIONS 2018) Effective from the Academic Year 2018 - 2019M.E. – Structural Engineering
Structural Engineering is particularly concerned with the design of load-bearing structures. It is largely the implementation of mechanics to the design of the large structures that are fundamental to basic living, such as buildings, bridges, walls, dams, and tunnels. Structural engineers need to design structures so that the structures do not collapse or behave in undesirable ways while serving their useful functions. The efficient use of funds and materials to achieve these structural goals is also a major concern. Structural engineers work closely with architects, construction managers, and transportation engineers, to name only a few. The postgraduate program in structural engineering is designed to provide students with an understanding of the basic sciences and engineering applied to structural systems.
