Softwares such as Staad Pro, Etabs, Building Information Modelling. Instrumentation for water quality assessment and wastewater characterization, soil characterization, and EDM and Total Station for surveying.
• Well planned and designed curriculum.
• Alongside core subjects, students can opt for program electives and open electives.
• Besides curriculum, industrial visits and internships are encouraged to provide student much needed practical exposure.
• Guest lectures by industry personal, entrepreneurs, and researchers in the field of Civil Engineering.
