CIVIL ENGINEERING






Civil Engineering is one of the branches from the inception stage of the institution. Civil Engineering is a broad field of engineering which involves planning Design, construction maintenance and management of structures or public works. Alternate Building materials, Green buildings, structural health monitoring, safety and fire practices are the recent developments and the most sought after topics in branch

Civil Engineering Department aims at developing analytical and experimental skills in students and to apply in various fields of Civil Engineering.

The department also provides an opportunity for students in improving communication and presentation skills, knowledge of software like AutoCAD, STAAD Pro, ETABS and Rivet Architecture. For students the department consistently organizes Industrial Training and visit to live projects to gain practical knowledge and understanding of field constraints.

The Civil Department has well qualified teaching faculties with industrial experience who are enthusiastic in imparting the quality teaching to the students. The emphasis is laid on proper understanding of the fundamentals of the subjects through animation, video clips and case studies. It has well equipped laboratories, computational facilities; modern class rooms and provides a good environment for learning. Many senior faculty members are also engaged in research and consultancy projects which benefit the students for active learning. The department also has its own library housing a good number of quality reference books for the benefit of staff and students. The department has been conducting seminar/conferences since its beginning to keep the faculty and students side by side with the latest developments in the field of technical education.

Webinar on Opportunities of BTech graduates in IT field conducted on 26th June 2021.

An Interactive Session on the topic Engineering to Civil Services:Opportunity and Challenges on June 12th 2021.

        An Interactive Session with Dr S Ayoob, Pro-Vice Chancellor APJ Abdul Kalam University.

"Quality is never an accident; its always the result of intelligent effort"

Federation of Revolutionary Civil Engineers (FORCE) - the Association of Civil Engineering fraternity at College of Engineering Pathanapuram, was established with an objective to proliferate engineering knowledge above academics and aimed at contributing potential civil engineers to the society. The FORCE was founded in 2015 to function as a platform for technical skill development of the budding civil engineers.

We expose Civil Engineers of tomorrow to the vibrant paradigm of civil engineering by providing the much-needed practical exposure to the members through activities like technical seminars, competitions, tutorial sessions on recent advancements in technological advancements, talks on ongoing research practices throughout the globe and many other related topics from distinguished practitioners of the trade. Nonetheless, to give our students some practical insight into Civil Engineering, we organize several visits throughout the year to ongoing construction sites and industries to enhance their knowledge by interacting with key personnel of the industries. As the name suggests we aim at revolutionizing the perspective and mindset of budding civil engineers to address the industrial issues and equip themselves as contributing quality engineering solutions to fulfill the needs of the society.
