Can you tell me about civil engineering?

Civil engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering after military engineering. It includes construction and maintenance of different structures such as residential buildings, industries, dams, highways, etc. There are different sub-branches in engineering such as structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, water resource engineering, etc. One can get government as well as private jobs in civil engineering. You can go into state engineering services or public sector units which offers a decent salary package. Many multinational companies such as L&T, Shapoorji Pallonji, etc. Recruits civil engineers. You can even go to IITs, NITs, and other universities for further studies.

Civil Engineering is the mother of all other branches in Engineering. It is always-in Demand as Infrastructure development is directly related to the growth of the nation. Exposure to globalization and modern living styles has made the work of Civil Engineers not only essential but also interesting and enchanting. A career in Civil Engineering can take the student to great heights. Civil Engineers work in the heart of the busiest cities, see skyscrapers, flyovers, metros, more efficient underground transport networks, and in the remotest parts of the planet, bringing fresh water and reliable infrastructure to those who need it most. There is a wide range of diverse careers under the umbrella of Civil Engineering, with great employment opportunities and an excellent career towards a bright future. Besides new constructions, as infrastructure continues to age, the requirement for civil engineers will grow as they will be needed to manage projects, rebuild bridges, repair roads, and upgrade levels and dams, etc. Visit:<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.ncuindia.edu/" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.ncuindia.edu/</a>.

Dear Anil, Actually I did MBA from Lovely Professional University but I have one friend who has done B.Tech Civil Engineering From LPU. He told me B.Tech in civil engineering course involves so much more than theoretical know-how. In addition to classroom lectures, students here learn via hands-on experiences which include site visits, lab sessions and so on. PPTs, animations and similar technological techniques are a regular part of classroom teaching too. The course material provided here enables to practice civil engineering using up-to-date techniques, skills, and tools as a result of life-long learning ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. The course benefits the students by giving them an understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities. The Department aims to provide students with a technical foundation incorporated with the industrial need together with the breadth needed in the profession via advanced study or field training, or as a base for other pursuits. In order to get this develop we have timely workshops, and seminars. Coming to faculty, they are one of the best mentors to us & everything here is up to the mark. The faculty is supporting if one is willing to learn. They teach the subjects with their full effort. Writing board, screen-projector, labs are used to teach. The college arranges frequent industry visits. New innovative ideas were framed into working models and were showcased to 10000+ school students. Also, LPU has one of the best educational infrastructures in the nation. The laboratories are designed to enable various assessments like soil testing, cement testing, concrete testing etc. The industry experts are involved deep in development of the design of curriculum to match up the industry expectations. They frequently refurnish what they deliver. Industry certifications, MOOCs, Hackathons, Workshops, Guest lectures, Educational Trips, Live projects, Incubation projects, Community projects, are an integral part of the curriculum.

Hello, One of the oldest and the broadest engineering disciplines, Civil Engineering involves planning, designing, constructing, maintaining and supervising infrastructures which include facilities essential to modern life like highways, bridges and tunnels, schools, hospitals, airports and other buildings, sewage systems and water treatment facilities. Subsequently, the course also involves protecting the public and environmental health as well as improving existing infrastructure. In India, the Civil Engineering course curriculum might differ across colleges, institutes and Universities. However, the fundamentals of the programme remain the same. According to AICTE, A range of credits from 150 to 160 would be required for a student to be eligible to get Under Graduate degree in Engineering. A student will be eligible to get Under Graduate degree with Honours or additional Minor Engineering if he/she completes an additional 20 credits. These could be acquired through MOOCs. Civil engineers get recruited by Construction Firms, Defence Forces Development Boards Municipal Bodies, etc. They work in public and private sectors in all branches of design, construction, maintenance of roads, highways, bridges, dams, canals, docks, airports, housing complexes and in environmental management, etc. Civil engineers also work in quality testing laboratories, Military and defence services and as consultants. The choice company for internships majorly depends on the sector you want to join after completing your course. Following is the list of some top companies of different sectors related to civil engineering: Structural Engineering/Geo-technical Engineering: Indian Railways Public Works Department Real Estate Companies Transportation Engineering: National Highway Authority of India Public Works Department Airport Authority of India Environmental Engineering: Public Health Department Municipal Committee of any city Building Materials: H&R Johnson Tiles Townships/Real Estate Developers There are many top universities and colleges which offer B.Tech Civil Engineering. You need to look for the best option. Few of the leading universities are IIT, NIIT, VIT, LPU, BITS, Thapar, PEC, etc. I hope this helps. Good Luck.
