Department of
Civil Engineering
Overview
The Department of Civil Engineering has been in existence since the inception of SIT in 1963. It has grown into a full fledged Department with specializations in all the major areas of Civil Engineering.The academic programmes offered by the Department are B. E. in Civil Engineering, M.Techs, M.Sc. Engg (by research) and Ph.D. The Departmental activities include teaching at UG & PG levels and career counseling for our students. In addition to academic activities, the Department is involved in research and development work and offers consultancy and technical services to industry and society. With the introduction of PG programs and recognition of the Department as VTU research centre the focus of the Department widened to PG studies and research in addition to UG activities. Faculty members are encouraged to upgrade their qualifications and improve their knowledge base. With SIT becoming an autonomous institution under VTU in the year 2007 curricula have been updated on a continuous basis to meet the needs of industry. Recently the Department has adopted outcome based assessment system. Around 70% of the graduating students are placed in industry and 30% pursue higher studies or entrepreneurship . The Alumni of the Department are employed in academic institutions, industry, and government organizations in different states of the country, abroad and many of them have occupied prestigious positions. Our Department is recognized as one of the best Civil Engineering Departments in the state of Karnataka. |
