To impart knowledge and excellence in Civil Engineering with global perspectives to the student community and to make them ethically strong engineers to build the nation.
The educational curricula of the department are designed to promote innovative knowledge and critical problem solving thinking in the minds of budding engineers to face their future challenges. A strong foundation in basic sciences and technical knowledge is laid for students to successfully compete in executive positions and earn the highest qualification in the field of Civil Engineering. The department is very active in conducting conferences, workshops, short term courses, seminars etc.. The regular industrial visits and in-plant training are arranged with the industries like CSIR – Structural Engineering Research Centre, L&T, CCCL, etc to enhance the skill level of the students.
At the time of graduation, the students will have the following capabilities:
Premier funding agencies such as DST, Government of India and DRDO have identified the Civil Engineering department for performing advanced research. Two such projects are:
1. Structural Health Monitoring of Long span Railway Bridges and Heritage Structures in collaboration with University of Victoria, Canada – funded by DST, New Delhi.
2. Development of Fibre Reinforced Aerated Concrete with Epoxy Coating for Structural Panel Application funded by DRDO.
3. Development of very high volume ultra-fine fly ash concrete cast using controlled permeable formwork liner in collaboration with National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli – funded by SERB-TARE
Apart from sponsored research, the department maintains a very active association with the industries through consultancy projects, providing solutions to real-life engineering problems. Guidelines are provided in planning, design, construction, testing, performance assessment, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, recycling, etc., in the construction industry. Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL), All India radio Chennai, KV Associates Chennai and other private and Government organizations have availed consultancy services from the department.
The Department of Civil Engineering has well equipped laboratories in the specialized areas with all state of the art equipments to cater to the needs of UG & PG students as well as R&D and consultancy works.
