Introduction to Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the
planning, design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built
environment, including works such as buildings, roads, dams, canals, effluent treatment
plants etc. The Various sub- disciplines are material science, geotechnical engineering,
surveying, construction, water resource engineering, transportation engineering,
environmental engineering, structural engineering and project management.

Aim of a civil engineering fraternity is to improve the standard of life of human

beings by providing physical means for human activities. The existence of creations of
civil engineer can be felt from building, roads, dams, canals & all structures. A Civil
engineer learns and works with the nature . He integrates the knowledge of physical
sciences ,mathematics ,sociology and management by providing solutions to challenges
posed by the society and nature .

It is one of the oldest discipline addressing basic needs of water, shelter and food. It
grooms civilization by providing the basic infrastructure for the businesses, industries,
and organizations dealing with health , education and entertainment. New challenges of
sustainable development ,maintaining ecological balance with ever increasing demand
for the physical means from the society can be mitigated by adopting clean technologies,
eco friendly materials and advanced knowledge based decision system with integration
with other engineering disciplines.

Therefore the scope of civil engineering has crossed all physical ,socio-political and
technological boundaries. The leadership, team work, good human engineering with
sound technical bias will be the key elements in making of a civil engineer.

IMPORTANCE OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION IN INDIA

India is witnessing the age of science and technology. There is huge demand for technical education
in modern age. The pattern of life evolving in this age is very much different from the one we would
find in our society even some fifty years back. Technical Education imparts knowledge of specific
trade, craft or profession.
General education has been substituted by professional technical education in many cases. Technical
education offers good opportunity for employment and successful career. Technical Education can
meet the expanding demands of expanding society and to meet its multiplying demands. The
industries, mechanized systems and scientific research centers all over the world prove beyond
doubt that our tie with the past is snapped and instead of bare hands we must use machines and
technological devices for all-round development and regeneration of human society.
In our everyday life and in every sphere of our life the influence of science and technology is
becoming so pervasive that mans existence in this world is simply inconceivable in their absence
today. This is why, to train our students in response to the need of the time, our education must be
reorganized to give it the necessary practical and technical bias. Such education alone can produce
the specialized armies for making and operating the modern machines.
Besides this, in this age of unemployment, only technical education can assure one of a job and a
comfortable living. Those who are still in the conventional institutions, passing examination that
have little relevance in the modern systems, find no opportunities of employment. And, quite
naturally, they are victims of frustration and find themselves alienated from the mainstream of
modern world. With their stereo-typed general education without any specialization and
professional skill they acquire nothing to contribute to the progress and prosperity of the human
society. They are quite aware of this and this
awareness leaves them demoralized.

Industrial/ Field Visit

Industrial visit has its own importance in a career of a student who is pursuing
diploma. It is considered as a part of College Curriculum. Objectives of industrial/
Field visit is to provide students & insight regarding internal working of companies.
We know, theoretical knowledge is not enough for making a good professional
career. With an aim to go beyond academics, industrial visit/Field visit provides
student a practical perspective on the world of work. It gives them exposure to
current work practices as opposed to possibly theoretical knowledge being taught
at college.
It is considered as one of the tactical methods of teaching. The main reason behind
this It lets student to know things practically through interaction, working
methods & employment practices. Through industrial visit students get awareness
about new Technologies. Industrial/Field visit helps to combine theoretical
knowledge with industrial/Field knowledge.
To inculcate all these things in students so that they can bridge gap between class
room & real world, we the department of civil engineering arranges various
industrial /Field Visits.
