Survey lab |
| |
Measuring lands and fixing position on the surface
of the earth has always been an obsession for man
from the days of known history. The importance of
mapping lands for purposes of allocation, taxation,
fixing routes are well known. In addition the
location of the various structural and
non-structural elements, setting out the features of
railroads, highways, valuation of civil engineering
assets require that principles of mathematics and
knowledge of engineering go hand in hand. The
subject surveying and levelling enables the civil
engineers to achieve this end. The survey lab
enables the students to put to practice in field
what they learn in the class room.

In many parts of our country, people look up to
engineers as people who would be able to build /
suggest remedies to common defects in their houses.
In an aim to bring the common skills that is deemed
essential to any engineer, workshop practices are
included in the syllabus.
In the Carpentry shop, students
learn to distinguish between various timber and
do basic work on them as cutting, planning and
sizing them, make the elementary joints and fit
pieces of timber together and study models of
doors, trusses and other joints.
The shop is well equipped with
the required tools to do wood work. In addition,
models of trusses, doors and common varieties of
wood are also available.
In the Plumbing shop, students
learn the rudiments of the means to transport
fluids and get accustomed to the various
elements of plumbing networks as they are
essentially similar be it in cross country
piping to carry petroleum products or medical
oxygen in a hospital.
The shop has facilities to
demonstrate most of the pipes and fittings. The
methods of joining pipes to each other and to
special fittings are studied in this shop. All
the required tools to achieve this end and work
on pipes are available in this shop.
The first year students of
all the branches work in both these shops. |

Other Facilities for Students |
Industrial Visits |
The students are given ample opportunity to develop themselves in the college. In addition to the infrastructure of the department, the students are taken on industrial visits to construction sites or industries that support the construction industry. Regular interaction with the industry enables the students.
The department encourages students to participate in extra and co-curricular activities .Students can meet any of the faculty members at any time and engage themselves in research in subjects of their choice. Our students have won laurels by presenting papers in other colleges. |
Tests and Report Cards |
| Three tests are conducted by the department in co-ordination with other departments in all the subjects for gauging the student’s performance and to allocate the internal marks for the students as per the University’s requirements. A report card is given to each student at the beginning of the student’s tenure at our College. This report card is sent home with the student at the end of each test for parent’s information about the progress of their ward |
| Training |
| In plant training is mandatory from the third year of their course of study. Students are made to undergo atleast ten days of training at reputed institutions and establishments |
| Contents Beyond Syllabi |
| Experts are invited from the industry and research institutes to bridge the gap between the current trends in the field of civil engineering and the university syllabus and present their views |
| Student Projects |
Project works enable the students to work in convenient groups of not more than four members on a project involving theoretical and experimental studies related to Civil Engineering. Every Project has a Guide who is a member of the faculty of Civil Engineering department. The hours allotted for this course are utilized by the students to receive directions from the Guide, on library reading, laboratory work, computer analysis or field work and also to present in periodical seminars of the progress made in the project.
Each student produces a comprehensive report covering background information, literature Survey, problem statement, Project work details and conclusions.
This experience of project work helps the student in expanding his / her knowledge base and also provide opportunity to utilise the creative ability and inference capability.
Mini projects from the second year of their course of study are taken up by students |
| Educational Tours |
Students are encouraged to go on an educational tour once every academic year. The boys ang girls have different iternaries. A responsible staff member accompanies the students. Under normal circumstances, they are permitted to go anywhere in India. |
Placement: |
A list of top notch companies in the field of civil engineering have been identified who will be the potential employers of our students. Normally, students without standing arrears are considered for placement in the campus. Placement is coordinated by the central placement cell of the college. |
Alumini: |
The college has an active alumini cell in which all passed out students are members. Regular alumini meetings are held to share the experiences of the alumini and guide the students appropriately. |
Entrepreneurship Development Cell: |
Entrepreneurship Development Cell encourages the students who have a flair for running their own companies and buisnesses. Renowned entrepreneurs are invited from time to time to interact with the students. |
Student Feedback: |
Studetnts feedback in all the aspects of the college and the department is obtained at periodic intervals which acts as a sound grievance handling mechanism. This enables the adminsitration to take up corrective actions at the appropriate time and provides the students with the best of facilities. |
