DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

Minimize

The Department of Civil Engineering at Mailam Engineering College offers Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree in Civil Engineering. Civil Engineering Department was established in 2009 with an intake of 60 students. The vision of Department is to throw light on the various developments in the field of Civil Engineering. The primary goal of the program offered by the department of Civil Engineering is to provide students with the educational background and tools required for them to excel in their intended profession in Civil Engineering .The department has a team of highly inspired faculties with varied exposure helping the students to deliver the skills required to make use of various technologies and methods used in construction and design.

Professional Societies 

The Department of Civil Engineering pulls out all stops to create outstanding engineers for developing safe, efficient, and sustainable designs. The undergraduate program imparts students with mastery in the field of civil engineering and gain practical experience from field visits to industries, dams and irrigation structures, construction sites, etc. In addition, they can choose areas of interest for their elective courses to get a more in depth education in a particular discipline if desired.
