Civil Engineering

The Construction activity is the second largest economic activity in India next only to agriculture. The amount of money invested and the jobs provided by the Civil Engineering industry are much larger than any other industry. Overall globalization of the economy has resulted in more and more demand for better infrastructure facilities like roads, bridges, airports and project related to water resources. The Civil Engineer therefore has to play a major role in the development of the country. The Department of Civil Engineering desires its students to excel in the changing trends in global economy.

It has well-established laboratories in subjects of Structural Engineering, Environmental, Hydraulics, Geotechnical, Transportation, Geology, Surveying and Computer Engineering. The department also maintains a well-equipped audio - visual room with facilities like VCR, TV, and overhead and slide project for projecting videocassettes, CDs, slides and transparencies containing technical demonstrations. There are more than 200 videocassettes and CDs, 35 wall charts demonstrating various Civil Engineering theories and techniques.

The department has developed linkages with C. W. P. R. S. Pune and INSWAREB Vishakhapattanan for research works in Hydraulics and concrete materials. The department also has access to laboratories of CW & PRS and libraries of IAT, Pune and I. I. T. Powai, Mumbai. The department maintains a separate departmental library consisting of some rare books.

The teaching staff of the department is actively involved in research works. The research works on protection of scour around bridge piers by riprap, use of mineral admixtures in concrete are some of the research work successfully done. The faculties of the department routinely publish their works in reputed journals and conferences at national and international level. The testing and consultancy cell of the department caters to the various technical services in Hydraulics, Soil Mechanics, Bridge and Dam foundations, Environmental Engineering, Concrete Materials and Surveying.

The department also runs a postgraduate course in Hydraulic Engineering. This course is blessed by the guidance of some of the internationally recognized scientists in the field of Hydraulics. The P.G. Students perform their dissertation works in collaboration with CW & PRS laboratories, especially the model studies. The undergraduate and postgraduate students have unlimited access to the Internet facility provided by the department. The Civil Engineering Students Association (CESA) serves as a platform for the overall development of the students. The CESA organizes personality development programs, guest lectures of experts; site visits to Civil Engineering projects and is also actively involved in social programs. The department has also organized national level workshop on artificial neural network, Hydraulic structures and advances in concrete technology in the last few years.

Letter from Head of Department
