About The Department
Profile
Civil Engineering is considered to be the most versatile branch among all the engineering branches. Civil Engineering is the discipline after military Engineering. Civil Engineering can be considered as a single largest branch among all the Engineering branches.
Department of Civil Engineering was started in the year 2009 under the affiliation of AICTE and Anna University. The department of Civil Engineering since its formation is committed to research and development in Civil Engineering.
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, management and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings.
Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it was defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering. Civil engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.
The vision of the department is to give an exposure to budding Civil technocrats to various challenges in the profession. The department of Civil Engineering with its multifaceted faculty continues to maintain and cultivate its strong links with the infrastructural industry and academic and research institute.
Department Association
The Association of Civil Engineering was formed with the primary aim of exposing potential Civil Engineers to the challenges of the professions. With both students and faculty as its members, the organization is one of the most active associations of Civil Engineering. TRACE organize activities like lectures by distinguished practitioners of the profession, video shows, and competitions, socially relevant projects for the students throughout tshe year. The TRACE pride itself in the lively interaction between the students and faculty.
Vision
To Create knowledgeable and professionally competent Civil Engineers who are capable of providing global solutions to the problems related to Civil Engineering.
To impart knowledge and excellence in Civil Engineering and technology with global perspectives to our students and to make them ethically strong engineers to build our nation.
