Programme Educational Objectives (PEO’s)

PEO 1: To prepare students for successful careers in Civil Engineering field that meets the needs of Indian and multinational companies and to develop the confidence and ability among students to synthesize data and technical concepts and thereby apply it in real world problems.

PEO 2: To provide students with a sound foundation in mathematical, scientific and engineering fundamentals necessary to formulate, solve and analyse engineering problems and to prepare them for graduate studies

PEO 3: To promote students to work collaboratively on multi-disciplinary projects and make them engage in life-long learning process throughout their professional life.

Program Specific Outcomes (PSO’s)

PSO 1: Graduates will able to plan, analyse, design, estimate and qualify all types of structures.

PSO 2: Graduates will able to imbibe critical thinking and problem solving capacity in civil engineering field.

PSO 3: Graduates will able to meet the challenges that inherent in civil engineering practices and Technology, in view of social relevance.

The department has 8 Laboratories that conform to the specifications laid down by Anna University to which the college is affiliated.

Laboratory Facilities:

Survey Practical Lab
CADD Lab
Fluid Mechanics Lab
Strength of Materials Lab
Soil Mechanics Lab
Environmental Engineering Laboratory
Concrete and Highway Engineering Laboratory
Advanced Concrete Technology Lab

COMPUTER AIDED BUILDING DRAWING LABORATORY

The lab has computers with the latest civil engineering software in updated version, which is used to draft technical drawings of building and also to design and analyze structures.
The laboratory will help the students to model the building in 2D and 3D and also to analyze the structures using computer software packages like AutoCAD, STAAD Pro.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINERING LABORATORY

The Environmental Engineering Laboratory has facilities for carrying out laboratory course work & experimental research work for the under graduate students. Following experimental engineering laboratory

SOIL MECHANICS LABORATORY

Experiments on shear strength, compaction and permeability characteristics of soils are conducted under this course. As apart from this, various testing like determination of bearing capacity of soil, using Standard Penetration Test(SPT),plate load test and UCC test apparatus, CBR test for pavement design, compaction test and field density test are performed.

CONCRETE AND HIGHWAY ENGINEERING LABORATORY

The Concrete Laboratory provides support in the following areas:

Evaluation and development of new or improved equipment and procedures for assessing the properties and performance of materials and composites, including materials section.
Mix Design, casting and testing of concrete test specimen
Investigation and evaluation of the properties and performance of building materials, based on Indian Standard Codes.

SURVEYING PRACTICAL

Mr. R. Ganesh Kumar

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the year 2009 and has grown in to a full-fledged department with faculty specialization in all the major areas of Civil Engineering. Postgraduate program (M.E. Construction Engineering & Management) was started in the year 2014.

Civil Engineering is one of the oldest engineering domains which has limitless possibilities in a number of domains. A civil engineer integrates scientific principles with engineering experience to plan, design, and construct networks of highways and railroads, airports, bridges and dams, environmental pollution control systems, industrial structures, water purification and distribution systems, and urban transportation systems that enhance the quality of life. He or she is also into understanding the geology and plate tectonics, which helps in classifying the land with respect to earth quakes. Once on completion of the fundamentals, learners have the flexibility to choose their career path in structural, environmental, and construction management.

At present we have highly equipped laboratories such as Surveying Laboratory, Strength of Materials Laboratory, Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Laboratory, Soil Mechanics Laboratory, Civil Engineering Computer Laboratory, Concrete and Highway Engineering Laboratory, Environmental Engineering Laboratory. All these lay a strong foundation for the students to employ in educational and social growth. Over the years, the labs have a long history of excellence in consultancy and materials testing.
