ABOUT DEPARTMENT
Welcome to the Department of Civil Engineering at JECRC University. The Department of Civil Engineering (CE) is one of the five departments at School of Engineering, JECRC University. It administers bachelor's programs in Civil Engineering, as well as master's and doctoral degree programs in Civil Engineering. Department of Civil Engineering offers three full time and part time postgraduate courses in Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Transportation Engineering. Our faculty members provide a comprehensive program that emphasizes structural design, transportation analysis, water resource management, concrete technology, mix-design innovations, high rise construction, sustainable developments, layout mapping, advanced surveying techniques, construction planning and management.
Right from its inception, the Department has been doing its best to bring about excellence in academics. Graduates from the CE department are heavily recruited by many top companies. Graduates take up careers in the construction industry, the real-estate industry, design engineering, quality surveyors, traditional large engineering companies, startup companies, consulting companies, and government. Some of our top undergraduates each year enter into the Master’s and PhD program in Civil Engineering at leading universities around the country.
PROGRAM OUTCOME
