CIVIL ENGINEERING

The Vision :

To become a frontier in civil engineering with technical excellence and fulfil the needs of global challenges by the demand of society.


The Mission :

  • In-depth knowledge of quality standards and technological skills.
  • Professional development courses, conferences and collaboration with industries.
  • Strong Project management and leadership skills to solve complex problems with good morale.
  • Establishing a Centre of Excellence for Innovations and Research to serve society.

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

PEO-1:Graduates will be strong enough to pursue higher studies and perform as professional engineers in different fields of civil engineering.
PEO-2:Graduates will move into teamwork and leadership positions and become competent in acquiring new technologies to establish the goals and objectiv.
PEO-3:Graduates will contribute to the development of the profession, nation and society by inculcating professional spirit and ethical behavior.

PROGRAMME SPECIFIC OUTCOMES

PSO-1: Graduates are capable of identifying, analyzing and applying the knowledge of modern technology, tools and software for solving civil engineering complex problems and other interdisciplinary streams.
PSO-2: Graduates are capable of working in teams for effective project management and building an attitude of facing the challenges by imparting ethics of technology for the solution of real-time problems.

Highlights of the Department

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 bridges, roads, canals, dams, and buildings.

Civil engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to federal levels, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies. There is no one typical career path for civil engineers. Most people who do diploma with civil engineering start with jobs that require a low level of responsibility, and as the new engineers prove their competence, they are trusted with tasks that have larger consequences and require a higher level of responsibility.

Outcome Based Education (OBE)

  • Outcome based education (OBE) is student-centered instruction model that focuses on measuring student performance through outcomes. The OBE model measures the progress of the graduate in three parameters, which are Program Educational Objectives (PEO), Program Outcomes (PO), Course Outcomes (CO)
  • PEO's are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing the graduates to achieve. PEO's are measured 4-5 years after graduation.
  • PO's are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. They must reflect the 12 Graduate attributes as described by NBA for under graduate engineering programs.
  • CO's are the measurable parameters which evaluates each student's performance for each course that the student undertakes in every semester.

    • Programme Outcomes

    POs Highlight Explanation
    PO1 Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
    PO2 Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
    PO3 Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
    PO4 Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
    PO5 Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
    PO6 The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
    PO7 Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
    PO8 Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
    PO9 Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
    PO10 Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
    PO11 Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
    PO12 Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

    Scope And Objective

    Within each branch of civil engineering career path options vary. In some fields and firms, entry-level engineers are put to work primarily monitoring construction in the field, serving as the "eyes and ears" of senior design engineers; while in other areas, entry-level engineers perform the more routine tasks of analysis or design and interpretation. Experienced engineers generally do more complex analysis or design work, or management of more complex design projects, or management of other engineers.

    Career Opportunities

    General engineers spend much of their time visiting project sites, developing community consensus, and preparing construction plans. General civil engineering is also referred to as site engineering, a branch of civil engineering that primarily focuses on converting a tract of land from one usage to another. Civil engineers typically apply the principles of geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering and construction engineering to residential, commercial, and industrial and public works projects of all sizes and levels of construction.
