About the Department



The  Department of Civil Engineering is the oldest department in our college. The department was started in 2002 with current intake of 120 students each year .The department boast of highly qualified and experienced faculty from different background of civil Engineering. The department was accredited by NBA-AICTE for the period of 2008-11. Every semester department organizes Industrial Visits, Guest Lectures, in plant training each Semester respectively apart from that symposium is conducted in each year.

Vision of Department Create a responsible Civil Engineer with a technical competence and managerial ability in various Civil Engineering disciplines to achieve the expectation of stakeholders and to build our Nation.

MISSION

  • To educate, inspire and mentor future civil engineering Technocrats for serving the society and nation.
  • To create, disseminate and integrate knowledge through quality teaching practices for solving real world problems.
  • To promote innovative thinking, quantitative reasoning, attitude and skills of civil engineers for solving the challenges in the future.

Program Educational Objectives(PEOs):

  • Graduates will evolve to possess a specialized domain knowledge in civil engineering through higher education.
  • Graduates will utilize best practices bestowed by the civil engineering program to excel as comprehensive entrepreneurs.

Bos - The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was started with an objective to impart high quality education in the field of Electronics and Communication Engineering. The Department has state-of-art labs, qualified and well experienced faculty with the passion for both teaching and research. The Department aims to produce Electronics and Communication Engineers with excellent skills sets to meet the needs of our field. The department has been consistently producing illustrious engineers of fine caliber and enabling them to occupy prestigious position in the academics and in the industrial fields.

  • Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Laboratory

    The purpose of this laboratory is to reinforce and enhance the understanding of the students regarding the fundamentals of Fluid mechanics and Hydraulic machines. The experiments here are designed to demonstrate the applications of the basic fluid mechanics principles and to provide a more intuitive and physical understanding of the theory. The main objective is to introduce a variety of classical experimental and diagnostic techniques, and the principles behind these techniques. This laboratory exercise also provides practice in making engineering judgments, estimates and assessing the reliability of your measurements, skills which are very important. The total cost of the laboratory is around 17 lakhs.

  • Concrete and Highway Engineering Laboratory

    In order to exercise constant vigil and control over the quality of the work executed certain tests are to be conducted as per the Bureau of Indian Standards on all building, infrastructure facilities and construction materials at various stages of the project. To give an exposure for the students in the above fields concrete and Highway and Engineering laboratory was established in the academic year 2009 – 2010 at an investment of Rs 10 lakhs for equipments and accessories alone. The laboratory has facilities to conduct test on cement, fine and coarse aggregate, fresh and hardened concrete, Bitumen and Bituminous mixes. By doing experiments in this laboratory the student can understand the need and significance of various tests.

  • Strength of Materials Lab

    The purpose of this laboratory is to teach the art of determining the various strength of materials (steel / Copper / Brass / Aluminum) such as compression, Tension, Flexure, Hardness, Impact Strength, Torsion, Young’s modulus. This laboratory exercise also provides practice in making engineering judgments, assessing the reliability of materials, which are very important in all engineering disciplines.

  • Soil Mechanics Laboratory

    The civil engineering department is equipped with a well established soil mechanics laboratory worth of 11 lakhs. The students are given a good opportunity to learn various aspects of testing soils and studying their properties like grain size distribution, drainage, compressibility, shear strength and bearing capacity.

  • Computer Aided Design and Drafting Laboratory

    The department is well equipped with a Computer laboratory, which helps the students to have hands on training in the software’s related to Civil Engineering.

    The laboratory is being used by the students in beginning of their Engineering career, ie. in their 2nd semester where they are introduced with AUTOCAD and during their 7th semester where they equip themselves with the designing software.

    At the end of the course the student acquire experience in preparation of design and structural drawings both for Concrete and Steel structures.

  • Environmental Engineering Laboratory

    Are you longing for clean beach water, wish to breath pure air, walk in a green and healthy environment? Let us marshal the best of our talents to protect our resources and improve the quality of life. The primary objective of this lab is to demonstrate environmental engineering testing procedures. This lab is continuously upgraded with the latest environmental equipment. It covers the four major pollution areas: air, soil and water contamination. Students contribute through water testing procedures to build a pollution database of the nearby rivers. The purpose of this laboratory is to teach the students the testing of various drinking water and waste water quality parameters such as presence of Chlorides, Sulphates, pH BOD, COD, and Turbidity. Research in the Environmental group includes, but is not limited to, solid waste management, biological nutrient removal, drinking water treatment, membranes and membrane bioreactors, nutrient recovery, contaminated sites, endocrine disrupting compounds, corrosion, composting, dairy waste treatment, and aquifer contamination
