Profile

The four years Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech.) programme in Civil engineering with a batch strength of 30 students was initiated under the auspices of Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) Amritsar in the year 1990. During the formative years of the Department, this programme was known as B. Tech. in Structural Engineering and Construction Management. The current nomenclature was adopted when the degree programme was affiliated to the newly established Punjab Technical University for the period July 1997 through October 2002. The Department has been enjoying complete academic autonomy in running its degree programme after the conferment of Deemed University status on the erstwhile Regional Engineering College with effect from October 2002. Being the oldest engineering discipline in vogue, Civil Engineering is the father of all engineering disciplines. With such a distinguished history behind it and centuries of accumulated knowledge and skills it becomes a delicate and often onerous task while framing the course curriculum to do justice to the reservoir of knowledge inherited from the past while at the same time reconciling it to the dramatic changes brought about by the digital revolution.
                 While framing a dynamic and all-inclusive course curriculum emphasis has been laid on including the basic aspects of all facets of the discipline, namely, construction materials, structural analysis, structural design in steel and concrete, water resources engineering, transportation engineering, environmental engineering, surveying and geotechnical engineering. At the same time, in recognition of the importance of computer applications, courses like structural analysis in particular, have been framed in such a manner as to encourage the student to exploit the potential of computers for solving engineering problems. A strong curriculum is only one important component of the tripod of the Departments competitiveness. The second component is a competent, well-qualified and dedicated faculty and supporting staff. The Department boasts of maximum number of faculty members with PhDs from premier institutes. The faculty reputation is enhanced by its commendable publication record and its effectiveness is complimented by trained and skilled supporting staff
