Civil Engineering is the oldest branch of engineering which is growing right from the Stone Age Civilization. It is meant for serving the Civilians / Public for the development and maintenance of infrastructure & facilities for the built environment like residential shelters & industrial facilities; Surveying, Remote sensing & GIS and Land Management; Management of natural resources; Water for Drinking and Irrigation; Wastewater management, Air pollution & Solid waste management; Transportation systems like roadways, railways, airways and waterways; geotechnical engineering; automation & robotic systems for development and management of infrastructure and built environment and associated facilities for public. It is the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. Civil engineering takes place in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.

Civil engineers build the world’s infrastructure. In doing so, they quietly shape the history of nations around the world. Most people cannot imagine life without the contributions of civil engineers to the public’s health, safety and standard of living. Only by exploring civil engineering’s influence in shaping the world we know today, can we creatively envision the progress of our tomorrows. American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE) defines Civil Engineering as the profession in which knowledge of mathematical and physical sciences gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize economically the materials and forces of nature for the progressive well being of man.

Our dedicated faculty members always help the students to invoke and develop their creative and innovative thinking in applications by using advanced techniques & technologies and state-of-the-art software in civil engineering fields like sustainable building materials, surveying, environmental engineering, water resources engineering, transportation engineering, concrete & structural engineering and in the emerging fields like Sustainable Habitat and Automation & Robotics in Civil Engineering.
