DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

Civil Engineering buttresses all the characteristics of contemporary existence. Civil Engineers are contributing in all the fragments of infrastructural development of the society. These professionals must simultaneously be inquisitive, detail-oriented, and interested in the big picture. In their designs, Civil Engineers must consider potential environmental hazards, construction costs, and government regulations that can affect their creations. Our educational programme reflects this amply. B.E. Civil Engineering encompasses the full spectrum from structures through geomatics and earthquakes to transport while continuing to provide a sound understanding of basic Civil Engineering principles.

VISION

To carry on the heritage and pave way for the future, to establish a new culture for society and nurture spirit and talent.

MISSION

To develop and disseminate effectively the technical information aimed at improving the infrastructure and environmental well-being of the society. The Programme aims to provide a well-rounded and superior engineering education that produce talented graduates and creative engineers.

OBJECTIVES

To inculcate dedication, hard work, sincerity and ethics in building up the overall professional qualities among students to attain value based education in engineering, technology and management.

Civil Engineering is a fusion of Engineering, Design and Art is the most traditional Engineering studies in India. Civil Engineers implore science and Engineering principles to plan, Design and build infrastructure, which include Buildings, Roads and Highways; Tunnel, Bridges and Rail system, Airports, Seaports, Water reservoirs and storm water Drainage and control plants.

With the advances in technology and the growing urban sprawl across the country, the demand for civil and construction engineering graduates is rising. Long-term research and development projects are also growing in size and scope, and many civil engineering professionals enjoy the promising prospects.

The Mahendra Institute of Engineering and Technology civil engineering department laboratories flourished with latest equipments and machineries to afford the students with practical knowledge. The department has organized various seminars, workshops, symposia and conferences in areas of emerging technology to update the acquaintance to prepare the students to acquire the newest technology. The Civil Engineering Association launched for the purpose of providing ample opportunities to the students to exhibit their talents in all the aspects. The Association organizes various activities and events, to unfold the prospects of Civil Engineering in the present day world. Industrial Visits, Talks by prominent experts in the field, acquainting the students about the recent developments in the Industry such as emerging building trends are periodically organized for the student promotion.
