Civil Engineering
Civil engineering deals with the construction, soil mechanics, transportation, public sanitary, surveying & mapping, and hydraulics. While a construction engineer deals with the design and regulation of construction of bridges, buildings, tunnels and dams. Engineers focused in soil mechanic are vital and relevant for conquest of diverse areas. Transportation engineering deals with the planning, design and construction of roads and streets. Broadly a civil engineer is expected to do planning, research, design and construction of buildings and roads; traffic and transportation, irrigation and power, water supply and sewage disposal, dams and reservoirs, ports and harbours, airways and navigation, treatment for industrial wastes and abatement of air pollution and disaster mitigation.
Besides the basics of engineering sciences, the curriculum in Civil Engineering covers a variety of professional subjects e.g. structures, foundation, construction, work management and cost, transportation engineering, irrigation engineering, hydraulics, and environmental engineering and earthquake technology etc.
The curriculum is broad-based and designed to introduce the students with a broad range of problems encountered by civil and environmental engineers. Electives and independently conducted projects are offered in the final year to facilitate the student to develop further depth in areas of special interest to them. Survey camp and practical training, which are part of the curriculum, aim to exposing the students to authentic field problems. Laboratory experiments, computer aided analysis, design & drawing and the tutorial classes are held to build confidence in the students.
UIT is well equipped with laboratories related to Structure, Concrete testing, Soil Mechanics, Highway Engineering, Experimental Stress Analysis, Computational Mechanics, Educational Technology, Photogrammetry and GIS facilities, Environmental Engineering and Hydraulics laboratories. UIT undertakes to organize special lectures and discussion by eminent persons from the field and industry.
