About
Department of Civil Engineering Another of the founding departments at Christ College of Engineering, the Department of Civil Engineering is affiliated to APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University. Civil Engineering, one of the oldest engineering disciplines, encompasses the design, planning, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure — including roads, bridges, buildings, dams, canals, water supply systems, and numerous other facilities that touch every human life. With rapid infrastructural development across the world, the role of civil engineers has become more vital than ever, making skilled civil engineers inevitable for the overall development of any nation. The Department is committed to continuous improvement of students' civil engineering skills through well-equipped laboratories, excellent faculty, and library facilities. Beyond academics, the department regularly conducts workshops and training programmes for students and faculty on the latest trends in civil engineering. Students are provided with a healthy learning environment that fosters continuous improvement and an innovative mindset. Programmes Offered: B.Tech in Civil Engineering – 60 seats M.Tech in Structural Engineering and Construction Management – 12 seats
