Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of buildings, roads, railways, airports, bridges, dams, canals, water & waste water treatment, solid waste management system, etc. The department provides the skills & knowledge to students to solve Civil Engineering problems in a global, societal and environmental context, consistent with the principles of sustainable development.
The Civil Engineering department provides state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure facilities to achieve the goal by providing our expertise in teaching and learning to our students in order to shape their character as professional, future ready and tangible civil engineers. The department is well equipped with specialized laboratories which provide expertise & facility to work on emerging technologies. Computer laboratory is having licensed software’s like ETABS STAADPRO, AUTOCAD etc. which the students can use for analysis, design & drawing of structures.
The Department of civil Engineering has highly qualified and experienced staff which helps in kindling inherent inquisitiveness dormant in young minds of students. Both the theoretical and experimental aspects are addressed.
FORCE (Fraternity Of Rising Civil Engineers) is a department forum established for students association activities like organizing seminars, technical talks, industry institute interaction, industrial visits so that the students can take part and enrich their technical knowledge and also improve their confidence level through addressing, gathering and group discussions. As a part of consultancy, the department offers services like testing of construction materials, soils exploration, water quality analysis, design of structures and quality assurance inspection for many private, state and central government organizations.
Professor & Head
Department of Civil Engineering
At the civil engineering department in PACE, we envision our graduates to be self-reliant civil engineers who will have cognitive, practical and transferable skills that will allow them to express their ideas clearly and continuously update their knowledge to cope with the changing trends of civil engineering. The experienced faculty of the department have a strong commitment to achieve the highest standards of teaching and make a limitless contribution towards the development of students to make them future ready engineers.
The department with its state-of-the-art infrastructure provides a great learning experience in the classrooms and laboratories. The department is aware about the major challenges lying ahead in the endless endeavors for growth and expansion. The objective of Civil Engineering Department is to produce competent, disciplined, eminent engineers and administrators through education par excellence, to establish the department as the center of excellence in civil engineering education shaping the youth into prosperous civil engineers. We aim to take the department to greater heights of learning, preparing the graduates with a strong conceptual foundation coupled with practical insight to meet the global business changes. We will provide an educational environment where students can reach their full potential in civil engineering discipline to produce professional civil engineers of high ethics.
As mentors we promise to give our full thrust to ensure and guarantee the success of the students, not only in their academics but also to make sure that the training imparted to them will help them in their careers, to be the real ambassadors of civil engineering.
