Civil Engineering

The Department of Civil Engineering widens the horizon of knowledge both in breadth and depth for promoting a scientific approach and interdisciplinary problems.

Future Prospects

As a civil engineer you are always working on materials, the role you play will involve: conception, design, build, and supervise, operate, construct, including roads, systems for water supply and sewage treatment, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and maintain infrastructure projects and systems in the public and private sector. Many civil engineers work in planning, design, construction, research, and education.

Analyze long-range plans, survey reports, maps, and other data to plan and design projects
Consider construction costs, government regulations, potential environmental hazards, and other factors during the planning and risk-analysis stages of a project
Compile and submit permit applications to local, state, and federal agencies, verifying that projects comply with various regulations
Oversee and analyze the results of soil testing to determine the adequacy and strength of foundations
Analyze the results of tests on building materials, such as concrete, wood, asphalt, or steel, for use in particular projects
Prepare cost estimates for materials, equipment, or labor to determine a project’s economic feasibility
Use design software to plan and design transportation systems, hydraulic systems, and structures in line with industry and government standards
Perform or oversee surveying operations to establish building locations, site layouts, reference points, grades, and elevations to guide construction
Manage the repair, maintenance, and replacement of public and private infrastructure.
