About Course

Course Description

Civil Engineering is a discipline that is involved with the planning, designing, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. Civil Engineering Courses in India pave way for a bright future both nationally and internationally. Civil Engineering is known to be one of the oldest engineering disciplines and the most broadest field of engineering. It's sphere of work includes water works, sewers, dams, power plants, transmission towers/lines, rail-roads, highways, bridges, tunnels, irrigation canals, river navigation, shipping canals, traffic control, mass transit, airport runways, terminals, industrial plant buildings, skyscrapers etc. Professional in this field is known as Civil Engineer. Civil engineers build the world’s infrastructure and their work area includes all aspects of planning and designing a project, constructing the project to the required scale and maintenance of the product. A civil engineer requires not only a high standard of engineering knowledge but also supervisory and administrative skills. Civil Engineers work in teams or in coordination with many other engineers.

After successfully completing this course, the student will be titled as “Civil Engineer”. During the course, students have to study many subjects. Some subjects of civil engineering are highlighted below:

•   Surveying
•   Structural Mechanics
•   Building and Town Planning

Job Perspectives

There will always be a need for Civil Engineers as there is a consistent demand to maintain and repair existing facilities and structures and to construct new ones. After graduation one can look for jobs in road projects, building work, consultancy firms, quality testing laboratories or housing societies. According to the experts there is a high demand for experienced civil engineers in developed countries. Civil engineers are employed in all the major construction projects carried out by the state or central government, the railways, private construction companies, military, engineering services, consultancy services etc. Civil engineering graduates can do research work and take up teaching or they can open their own independent consultancy services. Middle Eastern countries provide employment opportunities especially Dubai where Civil Engineers can reap the benefit of opportunities owing to the number of construction projects they have.
