VISION

To impart knowledge in civil engineering with global perspectives, to our students and to make them ethically strong engineers to build our nation.

MISSION

• To produce civil engineers of high calibre, technical skills and ethical values to serve society and the nation.
• To make the department a centre of excellence in the field of civil engineering.
• To provide knowledge base and consultancy services to the community in all areas of civil engineering.
• To promote innovative and original thinking in the minds of budding engineers to face the challenges of the future.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEO)

The graduates will

• Be exposed to state-of-the-art expertise and will gain sufficient knowledge to identify and resolve complex civil engineering problems using advanced technologies.
• Achieve a successful career and excel in their chosen civil engineering domain through employment, entrepreneurship, higher studies, and/or research.
• Be sensitive towards social and environment issues, professional ethics and practices, so that they will develop sustainable civil engineering solutions with a high sense of social responsibility.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES (PO)

The graduates will

1. Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, social, and environmental considerations.
4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
7. Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
11. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and a leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments
12. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
