Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is one of the broadest and oldest of the engineering disciplines, extending across many technical specialties. Civil Engineers plan, design, and supervise the construction of facilities essential to modern life like space satellites and launching facilities, offshore structures, bridges, buildings, tunnels, highways, transit systems, dams, airports, harbours, water supply system and wastewater treatment plants. A civil engineer is responsible for planning and designing a project, onstructing the project to the required scale, and maintenance of the project. A civil engineer requires not only a high standard of engineering knowledge but also supervisory and administrative skills.

The department of civil engineering was started in the year 2009 with a sanctioned intake of 60 students. Over the year it has grown into a full-fledged department offering undergraduate course in civil engineering with the revised sanctioned intake being ninety students.

The infrastructure available in the department facilitates students to develop their skill and knowledge within the framework of curriculum prescribed by the Vardhaman College of Engineering.The department has the following well-equipped laboratories/workshop:

1. Geotechnical Engineering
2. Basic Material Testing
3. Survey
4. Geology
5. Computer Aided Design
6. Concrete and Highway Material Testing
7. Structures
8. Environmental Engineering
9. Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machinery

The department library has over 400 books and copies of student project reports. A departmental computer centre with sufficient number of computer systems and Internet connections exists. Students of final year make use of this facility for their project works. The students and faculty have unlimited access to this centre.

The department invites eminent persons from industry to deliver technical talks on emerging areas for the benefit of our students and staff. The department has included eminent persons from academics and industry in the academic advisory council to shore up academic transfer of knowledge as well as consultancy.
