CIVIL ENGINEERING NEWSLETTER

SEPTEMBER 2017

HOD’S DESK AADHARA does not represent a Journey but a set of

Experiences. Each experience acts as a trigger that leads us to

reflect on the world around us as well as on ourselves. This

Newsletter comes as our first step in documenting our

experiences that we gather in our engagement with each

other and the outside world throughout the month of

September. With the launch of this issue we are embarking on

a fresh journey that would bring with itself exciting and fresh

learning experiences for the students as well as the Faculty.

~ Dr.D.MARUTHACHALAM

The Civil Engineering Department aims at

developing analytical and experimental skills in

students to apply in various fields of Civil

Engineering using National and International

codes. The department also provides an

opportunity for students in improving supervision,

communication and presentation skills, knowledge

of software like Auto CAD, STAAD PRO and

Rivet Architecture. The students have to undergo

Industrial Training and visit live projects to gain

practical knowledge and understanding of field

constraints. The Civil Department has well

qualified teaching faculties with industrial

experience who are enthusiastic in imparting the

quality teaching to the students. The emphasis is

laid on proper understanding of the fundamentals

of the subjects through animation, video clips and

case studies. It has well equipped laboratories,

computational facilities; modern class rooms and

provides a good environment for learning. Many

senior faculty members are also engaged in

research and consultancy projects which benefit

the students for active learning. The department

also has its own library housing a good number of

quality reference books for the benefit of staff and

students. There are many Student chapters,

Associations and clubs in the department to engage

the students in co-curricular activities. On the

whole, the Department ensures a favourable

learning environment for all.
