Civil Engineering

Welcome to the Department of Civil Engineering at RIT. The Department of Civil Engineering started its journey in 2009. Our Dept. has well-qualified teaching faculties which have a great length of experience. The faculty is a conglomerate of a variety of field experienced people and also people with high academic career and varied specialization like Structures, Water Resources Engineering, Construction Management, Environmental Engineering, etc. There are about a dozen laboratories with various research and testing facilities.

1. Civil Engineering Graduates will be able to apply knowledge of mathematics, Science and Engineering in the solution of Civil Engineering Problems.
2. Civil Engineering Graduates will demonstrate skills to use modern engineering tools, Equipment and Software to analyze and solve problems.
3. Civil Engineering Graduates will function effectively as an individual, and as a leader or member in a diverse team and in multidisciplinary settings.
4. Civil Engineering Graduates will show the understanding of the impact of engineering solutions on the environment, society, and awareness of contemporary issues.
5. Civil Engineering Graduates will be able to compete in competitive examinations.

 Civil Engineering jobs involve supervision, construction, design, and analyzes of private as well as public projects, such as

• Dams & Canals
• Highways & Railways
• Airport & Harbour
• Water sewage and environment
• Bridges
• Power plant
• Transportation & traffic

To impart knowledge and skill in Civil Engineering with global perspective to our students and make them ethically upright Engineer

• Nurture student with technical skill and ethical values who can serve the society and nation, Professionally as a team or individual.
• To impart soft skills, leadership qualities and professional ethics among the graduates to handle projects independently.
• Create state of the art facilities and promote their efficient utilization to cater the academic and industrial needs.

Engineering Graduates will be able to:
1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution engineering problems.
2. Problem analysis: Identify , formulate,review research literature and analyze complex engineering problem reaching substantiated conclusion using first principles of mathematics , natural science and engineering sciences.
3.Design/Development of solutions:Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety and the cultural,society and environmental considerations.
4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
5. Modern tool usage: Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
