Civil Engineering - RESEARCH

Integrating Research in Learning Practices

Civil Engineering department is keen on understanding and investigating the present-day challenges and scenarios to identify facts that will envisage solving the problem or managing the present situation. The best research is happening at its boundaries on various disciplines such as water, air, various environmental aspects, geology and coastal studies, pedestrian safety & transportation, sustainable design & disaster resilience, and innovative construction materials.

Department has been engaged in various research project works funded by renowned Central and State Government agencies and NGOs such as ISRO, KSCST, BBMP, Bangalore Environment Trust, Art of Living, etc. The R & D activities involve students’ participation at all phases to ignite inquisitiveness and research aptitude. This has helped our alumni join higher studies at premier institutes across the borders. This has also helped them mould their personality to become thorough professionals.
