About Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering is the mother branch among all branches and encompasses the planning design, construction, and maintenance of physical infrastructures such as roads, bridges, buildings, airports, water treatment plants, and other public works. It involves applying mathematical and scientific principles to ensure the safety, durability, and sustainability of these structures, while also considering factors like environmental impact, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness. Civil engineers specialize in various areas, including structural, transportation, water resources, geotechnical, and environmental engineering, and play a crucial role in shaping the built environment and improving the quality of life for communities around the world.

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 namely Medhini Technologies,Bangalore, CMTI, Bangalore, Adani Cements. 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.
