ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the year of 1984 with an intake of 60 students in UG. In 2006 M.E-Construction Engineering and Management was started with an intake of 18 and the Research centre was approved by Anna University, Chennai in the year 2011. The Department is NBA accredited in the year 2004, 2009 and 2013. The department is equipped with fully established laboratories such as Soil Mechanics Laboratory, Environmental Engineering Laboratory, Survey Laboratory, CADD Lab, Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Laboratory, Concrete Laboratory Highway Laboratory and Strength of Materials Laboratory. The Association of Civil Engineers is regularly organizing seminars, Guest lectures and Industrial Visits for the benefit of student community. Our Department has been a member of reputed societies such Indian Concrete Institute (ICI), Indian Society for technical education (ISTE) etc
