Civil Engineering - OVERVIEW

Introduction

The department to its credit has state-of-the-art multimedia classrooms, advanced civil engineering laboratories, very good computational facilities with application software like STAAD-Pro, SAPS/ETABS, ARC-GIS, Auto-Plotter for superior analysis and design of civil engineering structures.

Strong association and membership with many professional bodies have further provisioned many more rare resources to involve in variety of multidisciplinary activities to widen the horizon of students and faculty beyond the scope of syllabus. The classrooms are epicentre of Creativity, giving the students the Joy of Learning.

Student-centric Learning Environment

Department practices student-centred learning, where the focus of instruction is shifted from the teacher to the student, with the end goal of developing autonomous and independent students by placing the responsibility of learning in the hands of the students. In the studentcentered classroom, students take a more "active" role.

We believe in critical thinking. The student-centric teacher learning pedagogy strengthens the fundamentals and motivates the students to think and act independently.
