Civil Engineering – Sri Ranganathar Institute of Engineering and Technology (SRIET)

Department of Civil Engineering

Today, the world is undergoing vast changes in technological revolution, population growth and environmental concerns. All these changes create unique challenges for civil engineers. Civil Engineering demands in depth skills of analysis, design, construction and maintenance of various structures.

We impart quality education & training to students for shaping their careers in earthquake resistant structures, modular structures, eco-friendly structures and structures with sustainable energy. We are in continuous efforts to educate the future engineers who will turn great ideas into real technical solutions for the structural, economic and environmental challenges. The department aims to produce societal engineering encompassing the modern traffic engineering with ultra-fast railway signaling, with highly available water supply and efficient waste management systems

HOD’S DESK

Learning is not just series of instructions but a passion, which goes beyond books. The department will engage in supporting the students to refine the necessary skills, attitudes and aptitude towards the corporate placement. Apart from academics, students will be encouraged to take part in extra circular and co-curricular activities to bring laurels to the department.
The teaching learning process of the faculty and student are monitored by ERP to ensure quality education. The department has introduced Value Added Courses (VAC) to students to bridge the gap between theory and practice of Civil Engineering by organizing series of expert lecturer form industry. Department is also providing Software training to enhance the soft skills, Personality Development, communication skills, Team Building activity, Decision Making and Leadership Quality to enable them to achieve great heights in this competitive world. Department also offers Stipend internships for the students in various industries which have been tied up with the institution.
I look forward for preparing the students to face the challenges of the engineering sector and offer technological solutions for the betterment of the society.
