Engineering Degree in Civil Engineering is offered by the Department.3What is Civil Engineering?Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with DesignConstructionMaintenance of the built environment4Built EnvironmentCreated by man with or without the aid of natural environment Includes everything from simple housing to entire cities, and even man-made outdoor environments

5Built environment includes,BuildingsParks & recreation areasRoads, Highways & RailwaysBridgesAirportsHarbours, ports & other coastal structuresIrrigation systems including canals, dams etc.Power plants & Transmission TowersWater Treatment & distribution PlantsWaste treatment & disposal Plants etc.6Civil EngineeringOldest branch of engineering after military engineering. First engineers were military engineers, combining military and civil skills.Later, Civil Engineering developed as a separate discipline.Many of the important things in our lives that we take for granted are products of civil engineering.
