ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the year 2009 with an intake of 60

students. The department is supported by teaching staff members of varied experience and

specialisation. Our teaching faculties are members of various professional bodies such as IV, IE, IEEE

and ISTE. All laboratories in the department are well furnished with the state-of-art equipment and

software. The Department functions with the dual inputs of Industry and reputed academic bodies in

the state.

The Department actively promotes curriculum development activity by updating existing

courses, developing new courses and preparing resource material for teaching. It undertakes industrial

consultancy works as a part of its interaction with industry and also organizes seminars/symposia for

professional interaction. The department is also very active in conducting conferences, workshops,

short term seminars etc. The department has been constantly involved in a range of consultancy

projects. Visits to industries, construction sites and environmental field visits are arranged regularly to

impart technical education to the students more effectively.

Vision

To continue to excel national and international recognition through the impact of civil

engineering knowledge of our students and alumni to build better human society.

Mission

To produce smart civil engineers with basic knowledge on science and engineering to compete

the global challenges.

To make the department to excel in the thrust areas of structural engineering and

environmental engineering research.

To work with the society to identify the problems faced and providing solutions through

consultancy services.

To create, disseminate and integrate knowledge of engineering in the minds of fresh graduates

to face the future technological challenges.

ONE DAY SEMINAR

One day seminar on the topic “5D BIM” was organized for second year students on

19.12.2019 with invited chief guest Er. M. Maheswaran, Senior Engineer, Business support, CADD

centre, Chennai. His interaction with our third year students helped our students to gain knowledge on

“5D BIM” and its practical design implementation in real time projects. The session was very

interactive and students were exposed to practical design challenges possible to occur in construction

projects.

GUEST LECTURE

A Guest Lecture on “CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND ITS OPPORTUNITIES

IN FIELD” was arranged for Final year students on 10.01.2020 at Conference Hall IV. The guest

speaker Er. V.Sriraman, Founder & CEO, Prayojana Institute, Chennai shared his knowledge

regarding construction management and its real time opportunities for budding engineers in current

field scenario. We can say with confidence that the lecture helped the students to gain technical

knowledge in construction management and practical exposure real field situations prevailing for the

young engineers in this competitive world. The lecture has been planned as a part of the syllabus and

to throw lights on field conditions to our final year students.

SURVEY CAMP

The students of third year Civil Engineering went for Survey camp to Yercaud hills from

12.02.2020 to 15.02.2020 as a part of their curriculum. The survey camp provides necessary

foundation for civil engineers by providing an opportunity to the students to improve their theoretical

and practical knowledge in engineering surveying under actual field conditions. It enhanced the

students performance by means of developing self-confidence so that he/she can do work

independently by solving field problems during survey works.

FIELD VISIT

The Students of Second year Civil Engineering went for one day Field Visit on 17.02.2020 to

VRG Blue Metals, Paramathy, Karur during the first half day and the second half day visited VRG

RMC Plant, Velampalayam, Karur. The visit covered the basic operations of the stone aggregate

quarrying, crushing, equipments involved and step by step procedure involved in the manufacturing of

Ready Mix Concrete (RMC), their testing and other facilities available in RMC plant. This visit helped

students to gain practical exposure towards the operations and functions carried out in fields of blue

metals and RMC plant. Students eagerly visited the industry and gained knowledge with the real time

exposure to stone aggregates and Ready mix concrete being used widely in construction works which

includes as a part of their Curriculum.
