The civil department in KVGCE is known for its excellence in teaching with highly qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty, skilled supporting staff, well established and updated laboratories to latest technologies, excellent infrastructure and disciplined and hardworking students. The department offers undergraduate course (BE) with an intake of 60. Two year Post Graduation programme -M.Tech in Construction Technology was started in 2014 with an intake of 18. The department also has a recognized research centre.
Students are encouraged to participate in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to acquire leadership qualities. The Association Civil Engineering (ACE) has been functioning for the benefit of the students. It serves as a platform for students to make technical presentations, gain knowledge about recent advancements and bring together novel ideas. This Association aims at bridging the gap between the academic and the industry by inviting renowned industrialists and academicians to interact with students. Guest lectures, industrial visits, site visits, etc., are organized and value added courses are conducted on regular basis to ensure that students are conversant with recent developments in the field of Civil Engineering.
All the faculty members are involved in various department and association activities, R&D activities and consultancy services to the society. The department takes up Third Party inspection of various government organizations like PWD, Panchayathraj Engineering (PRE), Rural water supply and Sanitary engineering, Minor Irrigation, Town Panchayaths etc. in Dakshina Kannada and Kodagu Districts. The department offers consultancy and technical services in Geotechnical Engineering, Highway Materials and Structural Design. The Department is also the advisors for Kodagu Nirmithi Kendra and Dakshina Kannda Nirmithi Kendra.
The department has several MoUs with various construction industries. The main purpose of these MoUs is to fulfill the gap between academics and the industry. The Department provides internship Program for the students with the help of Alumni & local Engineers.
The Department obtained Life membership of Indian Concrete Institution. Our faculty members are Life members of many professional bodies like ACCE(I), IRC, IE, ISTE, IASTR.
