Civil Engineering Department - Mahaguru Institute of Technology

About the Department

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in 2009, the year of inception of MIT. The department offers a B.Tech course (since 2009, intake 120) and an M.Tech in Structural Engineering (since 2014, intake 18). The department includes 10 teaching and 2 non-teaching faculty who are dedicated and committed towards the upliftment of the student community.

The department maintains high teaching standards and encourages research, entrepreneurial activities, and extra-curricular involvement among students. Well-equipped and maintained laboratories support academic, research, and consultancy work. The student association provides a platform for technical programs and interaction with eminent professionals from the Civil Engineering industry. The department aims at the overall development of the student community.

Civil engineers build the world's infrastructure, including railways, highways, bridges, water-works, skyscrapers, canals, wharves, industrial buildings, rapid transit systems, and power plants. They are involved in the design, construction, maintenance, and repair of structures. With new players entering the market and large-scale developments worldwide, there are abundant opportunities for civil engineers.

The four-year B.Tech programme is designed to inculcate a spirit of inquiry, develop analytical and experimental abilities, and generate interest in postgraduate studies. The course is dedicated to delivering technically proficient and ethically responsible engineers to society.

Civil engineers are trained in surveying, structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, and environmental engineering. Opportunities for higher studies are also available in allied disciplines such as coastal and ocean engineering, hydraulic engineering, remote sensing, irrigation engineering, and geodetic engineering.
