DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

About Department

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in 2010 under the affiliation of ANNA UNIVERSITY, Chennai. Currently the department offers a 4-year graduate programme, B.E. in Civil Engineering. The department has well established laboratories with R&D facilities. It has a well-qualified, committed and motivated faculty team who continuously steers the students to be recognized as an international leader in engineering arena, research and the application of knowledge to uplift the society. The Department faculty and students are also powered by the ICI and ISTE Professional Bodies. The department follows the enhanced teaching aids like OHP, LCD projection and E-learning which help the students to visualize the concepts clearly in an easy and understandable manner.
