CIVIL ENGINEERING

Civil engineering is the oldest branch of engineering which is growing right from the stone age of civilization. American society of civil engineering defines civil engineering as the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and physical sciences gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize economically the materials and forces of the nature for the progressive well being of man. Due to increase in the scope of civil engineering with the passage of time, it has now got diversified into many branches of study. Some of the significant ones include structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulic engineering, environmental engineering and a few more important areas of study. Civil engineers are also responsible for building good transportation systems for flow of water, i.e. the water distribution systems. The main activities in this undertaking are designing pipelines for flow of water, drainage facilities, canals, dams, etc. Dams are a major source for non-conventional source of electricity and are hence in high demand today. While designing these structures, the civil engineers take into account the various properties of fluids to calculate the forces acting at different points.

Scope of Civil Engineering in Private Sector

A person after the required qualification can also go abroad to work in multinational companies such as MNCs in USA, Singapore, UAE where they can find technologically advanced learning and experience. The salary expectations after degree vary from institutes to job locations and also depends on the skills of the individual.

The average salary of a Civil Engineer at entry-level in India is 3 lac p.a.

A person who wishes to travel to the USA for a better package can score up to 18 lakhs per annum and in Singapore up to 12 lakhs per annum.

Scope of Civil Engineering in Govt. Sector

Govt. PSUs often have many positions to work around the country with job security and other benefits. One can also call for the Indian Army or Indian Air Force. The same will enable you with additional rewards for being in the armed forces.

Future Plan

Civil engineering continuous to be a bright industry by the current demand of graduates.
Develop sustainable through new technology and techniques.
Developing new technologies to fulfill the requirement in environment, housing, water, transportation and help.
Connecting student with the innovation in civil engineering by latest embedded techniques.

HOD-CIVIL

Sana Shadab chose the career in civil engineering at the time when there are very less female candidates in the ﬁeld. She attained the Masters degree in Civil Engineering from UPTU. She has worked extensively on the quality of water which is a major problem of the present and future era. Since the starting of the course at DCTM, Sana has been heading the department. She has established all the labs including concrete lab, surveying lab, structural analysis lab, transportation engg and soil mechanics lab. The major focus of Sana Shadab is to train the students to be industry ready. Under her guidance the first batch of Civil Engg. has passed with ﬂying colours with more than 80% placement offers by L&T, Choice Group, Excel Group and NBCC. She also focused on Teaching-Learning practices of the department leading to merit positions In university examinations in the last four years. Under her supervision Institute of Civil Engineers Govt of India, New Delhi has considered the department as the zonal center where project work related to AMIE CIVIL is conducted. The major projects like Multi Level Car Parking, Transportation Mobility, Bio Gas Plants, Smart Harvesting techniques are developed and implemented by the department.
