Civil Engineering involves the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure projects such as buildings, roads, bridges, and water systems. The scope includes structural design, geotechnical analysis, transportation planning, and environmental engineering. Civil engineers work on creating and improving infrastructure to meet societal needs, ensure safety, and promote sustainability. Their expertise is crucial in both public and private sectors, contributing to urban development, disaster management, and environmental protection. This field offers diverse career opportunities across construction, consulting, and project management.
In the 1st semester, students will voyage on a foundational journey through essential disciplines. The curriculum includes Engineering Physics and Engineering Mathematics, which provide critical analytical skills and a solid understanding of physical principles. Complementing these are hands-on experiences in the Engineering Physics Lab and Basic Electrical Engineering Lab, fostering practical application of theoretical concepts. Additionally, students will engage in Engineering Graphics and Design, enhancing their visualisation and design skills. This semester is designed to establish a robust groundwork for future engineering studies, preparing students for the challenges ahead.
In the 2nd semester, students will build on their foundational knowledge with a diverse curriculum. The Basic Science component includes Chemistry 1 and its accompanying lab, fostering a strong understanding of chemical principles relevant to engineering. Engineering Mathematics 1 will enhance analytical skills essential for problem-solving. Students will also explore Programming for Problem-Solving, complemented by a practical lab, to develop computational skills critical for modern engineering challenges. Additionally, the Workshop/Manufacturing Practices course will provide hands-on experience in fabrication techniques. Humanities courses, including English and its lab, will enhance communication skills, preparing students for professional environments.
In the 3rd semester of the Civil Engineering program, students will engage with foundational concepts critical to the discipline. Core courses include Surveying & Geomatics, Solid Mechanics, and Fluid Mechanics, providing essential knowledge for effective engineering practice. Practical skills are honed through dedicated Surveying & Geomatics, Fluid Mechanics, and Solid Mechanics labs. The Basic Science course, Mathematics III (Transform & Discrete Mathematics), enhances analytical capabilities, while the Engineering Science course, Basic Electronics & Applications in Civil Engineering, introduces relevant technological applications. The Civil Engineering Introduction, Societal & Global Impact course also emphasises the profession’s role in addressing societal challenges. Professional Skill Enhancement Training prepares students for industry demands, fostering essential competencies for future success.
In the 4th semester, students will delve into essential topics that shape modern infrastructure and environmental sustainability. Core courses include Concrete Technology, Material Testing & Evaluation, Hydrology & Water Resources, Transportation Engineering, and Disaster Preparedness & Planning, equipping students with critical knowledge for effective engineering solutions. Hands-on experience is provided through Concrete Testing and Transportation Labs, reinforcing theoretical concepts. A non-credit Basic Science course in Environmental Science emphasises the importance of ecological considerations in engineering practices. Additionally, Professional Skill Enhancement Training focuses on Mentoring and Professional Development, preparing students for successful careers in the civil engineering field.
In the 5th semester, students will explore critical areas that underpin safe and sustainable infrastructure development. Core courses include Engineering Geology, Elements of Earthquake Engineering, Construction Engineering & Management, Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering, and Geotechnical Engineering, providing a comprehensive understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of civil engineering. Hands-on learning is emphasised through dedicated labs in Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Structural Engineering, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. Additionally, Professional Skill Enhancement Training focuses on Mentoring and Professional Development, equipping students with essential skills for successful careers in the civil engineering industry.
In the 6th semester, students will focus on economic and managerial aspects of engineering projects. The core course, Engineering Economics, Estimation & Costing, equips students with essential skills for financial decision-making and project budgeting. Students will also select three Professional Elective courses and two Open Elective courses, allowing for specialisation and exploration of diverse interests within the field. Additionally, the mandatory course on the Constitution of India provides a foundational understanding of legal frameworks relevant to engineering practice. Mentoring and Professional Development further enhance students’ professional skills, preparing them for successful careers in civil engineering.
In the 7th/8th, students will deepen their understanding of the intersection between engineering and management. The core course, Engineering Economics, Estimation & Costing, focuses on financial analysis and project valuation. Students will choose three Professional Elective courses and one Open Elective course, allowing for tailored learning experiences that align with their career aspirations. The course on Professional Practice, Law & Ethics emphasises the importance of ethical standards and legal considerations in engineering practice. Additionally, the mandatory course Management-I (Organisational Behaviour) equips students with essential skills in team dynamics and leadership, preparing them for effective roles in the engineering industry.
