Department of Civil Engineering

It is said that the education with sound technical knowledge blended with character building is essential to create a better society for better tomorrow. As Dr. Abdul Kalam says the human society which is in the information based state today is all set to transform into knowledge based society in the coming generation. Owing to this fact employment alone should not be the target/goal and the very existence of the young generation today and entrepreneurial skills of the young technocrats must be nourished encouraged.

Vision Statement:

The Department of Civil Engineering provides an educational, professional and intellectual experience that enables a diverse body of students, Alumini, faculty,and staff to contribute to the society through teaching, research, practice and service.

Mission:

We will continually work to engage our students, faculty and staff in the integration, creation and dissemination of knowledge through teamwork, personalized instruction, research and outreach.

We will measure our success by the success of our students and by the growth in the Department.
