Department of Civil Engineering

The pioneer of all studies is considered as engineering of which Civil engineering is considered as "The mother of Engineering". The Civil Engineering department was established in the year 2001 with the aim for the development of public and private sectors which directly influences the growth of the nation. Post graduate Course M.E (Construction Engineering and Management) was started in the year 2011. The department is recognized as a research centre by Anna University and the (best civil engineering college in Tamil Nadu). Currently, there are 3 research supervisors and around 20 research scholars are pursuing research in diverse fields of Civil Engineering. The department is bestowed with highly qualified faculty members to inculcate best education to the students. The department has excellent experimental and computational facilities to carry out research in intact areas of Civil Engineering. The department also ensures that the students have the opportunity to work with the latest equipment in the laboratories. Our department has produced several university rank holders. Many of our alumni hold prestigious positions in various academic institutions, industrial and government organizations.

COURSE OUTLINE

HOD's Desk

On behalf of management and faculty, I welcome you to the Department of Civil Engineering. Civil engineering is the broadest of the engineering fields. Civil engineering focuses on the infrastructure of the world which include Waterworks, Sewers, Dams, Power Plants, Transmission Towers/Lines, Railroads, Highways, Bridges, Tunnels, Irrigation Canals, River Navigation, Shipping Canals, Traffic Control, Mass Transit, Airport Runways, Terminals, Industrial Plant Buildings, Skyscrapers, etc. 

Civil Engineering department was established in the year 2001 with the aim of developing competent technical professionals for building infrastructure of the nation. M.E - Construction Engineering and Management course was started in the year 2011 with a motive to produce engineers with specialized skills in project management, project scheduling etc. The department is recognized as a research centre by Anna University. Currently, there are 3 research supervisors and around 16 research scholars are pursuing research in diverse fields of Civil Engineering. The department is bestowed with highly experienced and qualified faculty members to inculcate the best education to the students. The department strives to provide an encouraging environment for the students to develop analytical and practical skills and apply it to real world problems. To motivate the students department organizes regular training in state of art software, arrange expert lectures, Visits and National and international level conferences. The department work with objective of addressing critical challenges faced by the industry, society and academia.

The department has excellent experimental and computational facilities to carry out research in intact areas of Civil Engineering. Our department has produced several university rank holders. Many of our alumni hold prestigious positions in various academic institutions, industrial and government organizations.
