Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including architectural engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, control engineering, structural engineering, earthquake engineering, transportation engineering, forensic engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, wastewater engineering, offshore engineering, facade engineering, quantity surveying, coastal engineering, construction surveying, and construction engineering. Civil engineering takes place in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.
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. New York City has one of the world's most impressive water supply systems, receiving billions of gallons of high-quality water from the Catskills over one hundred miles away. Similarly, not many people seem to worry about what happens to the water after it has served its purposes. The old civil engineering discipline of sanitary engineering has evolved into modern environmental engineering of such significance that most academic departments have changed their names to civil and environmental engineering.
These few examples illustrate that civil engineers do a lot more than design buildings and bridges. They can be found in the aerospace industry, designing jetliners and space stations; in the automotive industry, perfecting the load-carrying capacity of a chassis and improving the crashworthiness of bumpers and doors; and they can be found in the ship building industry, the power industry, and many other industries wherever constructed facilities are involved. And they plan and oversee the construction of these facilities as construction managers.
Civil engineering is an exciting profession because at the end of the day you can see the results of your work, whether this is a completed bridge, a high-rise building, a subway station, or a hydroelectric dam.
Please look at the Web pages of our individual faculty members to learn more about their special interests as examples of what civil engineering and engineering mechanics is and can be about.
To develop and inspire Civil Engineers with advanced technical skills, ethical values and a deep commitment to contribute to the sustainable development of the society.
To nurture Civil Engineers with cutting-edge knowledge and skills, strong values and social responsibility, and provide them with opportunities to excel in the field of Civil Engineering.
Welcome to the Civil Engineering Department, Civil Engineering is one of the oldest branch of engineering arena. Civil Engineering always plays a vital role in the development of nation as it provides infrastructure in residential, commercial, industrial, transportation and environmental sectors, which are considered to be the backbone of nation’s growth, by performing analysis, design and construction of different Civil Engineering structures like roads, bridges, dams, canals, buildings etc.
Civil Engineering Department was established in 2010. The department offers a full time B.Tech. degree course in civil engineering. The present student intake of the department is 54.The department has well experienced faculty and well equipped laboratories of material testing’s, Surveying, Geology, Geotechnical engineering, Computer aided design, Environmental Engineering etc.
Department has good history of results and discipline. From the beginning of the department, Student performed well in university examinations and some of them got the university ranking. Civil Engineering graduate education is one of the best carrier options amongst all engineering discipline. Numerous carrier opportunities are available to Civil Engineering graduates. The department offers one undergraduate program, B.Tech. in Civil Engineering with an intake of 54.
