VISION AND MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT

Vision

To be a center of excellence in Civil Engineering Education through full-fledged Learning

experience along with research.

Mission

To accomplish our vision, we are committed to

 Provide high quality technical education for Undergraduate, Graduate and Doctoral
Programmes in Civil Engineering.

 Create excellent infrastructural facility and state-of-the-art Laboratories.

 Encourage faculty and students to carry out socially relevant research through
collaboration with industry.

 Inculcate ethics and ensure commitment to the society with leadership qualities.

Program Outcomes (POs):-

At the time of their graduation students of Civil Engineering Program should be in possession
of the following Program Outcomes
PO 1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science and
engineering fundamentals for the solution of complex Civil Engineering problems.

PO 2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate and analyse complex Civil Engineering

problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics
and engineering sciences.
PO 3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex Civil Engineering
problems and design system components with appropriate consideration for public
health & safety, cultural, societal and environmental considerations.
PO 4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge
and research methods including design of experiments, analysis & interpretation of
data and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
PO 5. Modern tool usage: Create, select & apply appropriate techniques, resources,
modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling to complex Civil
Engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.
PO 6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge
to assess societal, health, safety, legal & cultural issues and the consequent
responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
PO 7. 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.
PO 8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities
as well as norms of the engineering practice.
PO 9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, a member or leader
in diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings.
PO 10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the
engineering community and with the 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.
PO 11. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of
the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s 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.

Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs):-
