Typically, B.Tech (Civil Engineering) is a
four year course, minimum eligibility for which is an intermediate (10+2) with
subjects such as physics, maths and chemistry. Civil Engineering focuses on
planning, designing, and supervising the construction of facilities required for
modern life. The students of civil engineering study planning, designing and
supervising of various facilities.
CIVIL ENGINEERING is the application
of science and technology to the planning, design, analysis, construction,
operation and maintenance of the physical facilities required by society.
Considered as one of the oldest engineering disciplines, civil engineering
involves planning, designing and executing structural works. The profession
deals with a wide variety of engineering tasks including designing , supervision
and construction activities of public work like roads, bridges , tunnels ,
buildings , airports , dams , water works , sewage systems ports etc. and offers
a multitude of challenging career opportunities. Civil engineers are the
fabricators of our modern society and the protectors of the quality of the
environment. They deal with people and their management materials and their use,
designs and their application, and the problems of beneficially interweaving
these factors to serve society. Civil engineering has a long history and a
bright future because it serves the basic needs of society.
To meet these requirements of the country, the department of civil engineering
would be focusing on technologies pertraning to structural engineering,
transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic engineering,
geometric engineering and environmental engineering.

Career
Opportunities
Civil Engineering graduates with
a B.Tech degree have varied
options. The first is employment
with high technology consulting
firms, local, or state
government, contractors or
construction firms, public
utilities or industrial
corporations. A second option is
graduate studies to pursue an
area of specialty within civil
engineering. Such studies open
up more advanced employment
options in government ,
consulting, construction or
industry, and introduce new
options including research and
teaching. A civil engineering
degree also provides a good
background for professional
training in law, business
administration or medicine.
Civil engineers are employed in all major
construction projects carried
out by the state and central
government, the railways,
private construction companies,
military, engineering services,
consultancy services etc. Civil
engineers graduates can also
open their own consultancy
services. A civil engineering
degree also provides a good
background for professional
training in all the above
listed six field of specialization of civil engineering.
A lot of infrastructural development is going on in India. According to an
estimate 70,000 civil engineers are required per annum while the country at
present is producing about 11,000 per annum. Thus, there is an acute storage of
civil engineers in the country. There is also a high demand for experienced
civil engineers in developed countries.
