About the department

The Department of Civil Engineering is a center where prominent civil engineering research encounters the infrastructural necessities of the society. Civil Engineering deals with the talent and knowledge of construction dams, bridges, highways, water supply systems, modern townships, waste management and pollution hindrance etc. Naturally, civil engineers work in fields such as civil designing, township planning, building inspecting, building material testing, construction project officer, etc.
Civil engineers of today need in-depth understanding of physics, mathematics, geology and hydrology. Apart from an understanding of these basic concepts they need construction based knowledge as well. With an amalgamation of such concepts and practices engineers can design structures that meet requirements like cost, safety, reliability, durability, and energy adeptness. The advances in other fields become pragmatic to supplement civil engineering research and practice.

Vision

• Our civil engineering program will uphold a resilient prominence and stress on undergraduate education with the objective that our program will be acknowledged for quality instruction in civil engineering analysis and design.
• A significant importance of the civil engineering program is preparation of students for professional engineering licensure and practice, and we believe that most of our students will follow this objective subsequent to graduation. The students study to correlate the civil engineering conceptions with the real-world situation.
• The vision of this department is to attain national identification through education and research in materials, advanced infrastructure systems; mechanics and computing; environmental engineering, science.
• Our department offers a cooperative and competitive atmosphere in which students learn to relate the theoretical aspects with the realistic problems. The civil engineering program intents to assist the nation by providing a quality engineering education that equips students to enter in professional life that can enhance the civil infrastructure, and financial benefits.

Mission

• The program offers holistic education in the subject including mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering mechanics, and civil engineering, combined with application of modern engineering tools like state of the art design software.
• Graduates will achieve the abilities for entrance in civil engineering positions for furtherance towards professional engineering registration, and will have a firm undergraduate basis in general civil engineering principles, permitting sustained education at progressive levels.
• To create and integrate knowledge of science, engineering, and technology that expands the knowledge of civil, environmental engineering.
• The aim is to innovate and develop applications to improve civil engineering practice.
• The mission of the civil engineering program is to provide students with a broad and thorough education in civil engineering fundamentals, applications, and design that prepares them for the practice of civil engineering at the professional level with the confidence and skills necessary to meet the technical and social challenges of the future.

Civil Engineering Program Educational Objectives

Guided by the Mission of the University, the Civil Engineering program is committed to preparing students who will be thoughtful, responsible, and successful citizens. Within three to five years of graduation, the program expects that Civil Engineering graduates will have:

• Developed their communication skills in oral, written, visual and graphic modes when working as team members or leaders, so they can actively participate in their communities and their profession.
• Established an understanding of professionalism, ethics, quality performance, public policy, safety, and sustainability that will allow them to be professional leaders and contributors to society when solving real time engineering problems and producing civil engineering solutions, keeping in mind both quality and economy.
• Become competent and engaged engineering professionals, applying their technical and managerial skills in the planning, design, construction, operation or maintenance of the built environment and global infrastructure, and utilizing their skills to analyze and design systems, specify project methods and materials, perform cost estimates and analyses, and manage technical activities in support of civil engineering projects.
• Initiated an active program of life-long learning, including studies leading to professional licensure or an advanced degree in engineering, that provides for continued development of their technical abilities and management skills, and attainment of professional expertise.

Civil Engineering Program Outcomes

Part I – Civil Engineering graduates will have:

• An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
