Seminars, Guest Lectures and Expert Lectures are organized periodically for the benefit of students. Students are also encouraged to participate in Technical Symposiums/paper contests conducted by various other institutions / organizations.
Eminent personalities from various other academic institutions, Research Organizations and Industries, are invited to deliver expert lectures in various advanced topics.
Civil Engineering is considered as one of the oldest engineering disciplines. Civil Engineering involves planning, designing and executing structural works. The profession deals with a wide variety of engineering tasks including designing, supervision and construction activities of public works like roads, bridges, tunnels, buildings, airports, dams, water works, sewage systems, ports etc. and offers a multitude of challenging.
A civil engineer is responsible for planning and designing a project, constructing the project to the required scale, and maintenance of the product. A civil engineer requires not only a high standard of engineering knowledge but also supervisory and administrative skills. The planning part of their work involves site investigation, feasibility studies, creating solutions to complications that may occur and the actual designing of structures. They have to work with the guidelines of the local government authority and get plans approved by the relevant authority. They may prepare cost estimates and set construction schedules. Construction work involves dealing with clients, architects, government officials, contactors and the supervision of work according to standards. Their work also involves the maintenance and repair of the project.
TThe major specializations within civil engineering are structural, geo-technical engineering, hydraulics & water resources, environmental, construction, transportation, etc. On most projects, civil engineers work in teams or in coordination with many other engineers. |
