About Department
Building Foundations for a Sustainable Future
The Department of Civil Engineering was started in the year 2010. It offers an under graduate course in Civil Engineering with an intake of 120 students and reduced to intake of 90 students in 2019 and it is further reduced to 60 from 2020 onwards. Our main goal is to be the centre of excellence for the development and dissemination of knowledge in Structural Engineering, Construction Engineering and Management, Water Resources and Management, Transportation, Environmental Engineering, Urban Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Remote sensing, GIS and its applications. The Department has good infrastructure and it is well equipped with state- of- the art laboratory facilities necessary for imparting high quality education and is structured to meet our present day needs of the Civil Engineering field. Students from our department have always proved to be meritorious.
The department has well experienced and qualified faculty members who are regularly presenting papers in national and international conferences and publishing their technical papers in
The department actively promotes curriculum development activities by updating existing courses, developing new courses and preparing resource material for teaching. The department is also very active in conducting conferences, workshops, seminars, short term training programmes and visits to industries, construction sites and environmental field. Visits are arranged regularly to impart technical education to the students more effectively. Wi-Fi enabled internet facilities are available in the department. Students are motivated to do mini projects to improve their practical knowledge. Students are encouraged to undergo internship under fast track scheme to improve their placement prospects. Soft skill training programmes offered by placement cell and various programmes are arranged to enhance their communication and general aptitude skills.
A department higher education cell is effectively functioning to identify the students who are seeking PG admissions and provide proper guidance to crack GATE and TANCET examinations.
Department has facilated with the following mentioned MOU’s such as Infinity PMC Solutions, Pvt. Ltd, Chennai, SS groups of Companies & Institutions, Salem, UtraCon Structural Systems Pvt.
