Department of Civil Engineering,
 VISION
A Center of Civil Engineering Education for shaping Quality
Technical Professional with Societal Focus

MISSION
M1. To transform young minds into competent Civil
Engineers using technical knowledge and professional skills
by inculcating the continuous learning.
M2. To transfer the knowledge and skill in technological
applications such as analysis, design implementation and
maintenance of Civil Engineering projects for the benefit of
society.
M3. To instill technical capabilities to become proficient
Civil Engineers imbibed with ethical values and leadership
qualities.
1. To develop an understanding and an ability to apply basics of
sciences, mathematics and engineering so as to emerge as a
competent technical professional
2. To develop core competence in theoretical and practical
knowledge of civil engineering subjects and become
successful in career dealing with analysis, design and
management of infrastructural projects
3. To provide relevant engineering knowledge and professional
skills in civil engineering systems along with ethical values to
be successful in the local and global environment
4. To impart technical knowledge for lifelong learning and to
work in multi domain profession and exhibit team work quality
to relate engineering issues to the social and human context
Civil Engineering Graduates will be able to:
Function as Civil Engineers/Design Consultants in
construction industry for the design of Civil
Engineering Structures
Provide sustainable solutions to the Civil Engineering
Problems.
 PO1: Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science,
engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of
complex engineering problems.
PO2: Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyse
complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first
principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences
PO3: Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex
engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the
specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and
the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
PO4: Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based
knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and
interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
PO5: Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques,
resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling
to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
PO6: The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual
knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues and the
consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
PO7: Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional
engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the
knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
PO8: Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and
responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
 PO9: Individual and team work: Function effectively as an
individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in
multidisciplinary settings.
PO10: Communication: Communicate effectively on complex
engineering activities with the engineering community and with
society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective
reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and
give and receive clear instructions.
PO11: Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge
and understanding of the engineering and management principles and
apply these to ones own work, as a member and leader in a team, to
manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
PO 12: Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the
preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning
in the broadest context of technological change.
