EINSTEIN

Civil Engineering is considered to be the most versatile branch among all the engineering branches. It is the branch with a lot of diversity from geotechnical engineering to structural engineering, environmental to hydraulics, transportation to hydrology; Civil Engineering can be considered as a single largest branch among all the engineering branches.

In the arena of worldwide infrastructural escalation, Department of Civil Engineering at EATM,Bhubaneswar has come up to dedicate excellence in engineering education, creation of knowledge, innovation in research and leadership in professional services.

The Department offers a four-year course leading to the Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering , two-year courses leading to Master’s degree in specialisations of civil engineering (Structural Engineering )and three-year course leading to the Diploma Degree in Civil Engineering . In total there are 426 students pursuing Bachelors degree and 28 students pursuing Masters Degree and 120 students persuing Diploma degree in the department. There are currently 9 Assistant Professors and 1 Technical Officer working in the department.

It gives me profound pleasure and pride to explore a remarkable education world in the Department of Civil Engineering. Civil engineering is the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering. Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of physically built works like roads, bridges, canals, dams and buildings. Civil engineers are important to the society as they are often referred as ‘Builders of Nation’.

It has been our endeavour, right from the beginning, to make our department a preferred destination for students who want to get to the top of this field. We aspire to mould our students into globally competent and well chiselled Civil Engineers who can meet the challenges of technological advancement. All efforts are also being made to inculcate social values and professional ethics in our students to face the current as well as future global standards. Well-qualified and competent faculties with well equipped labs are committed to provide an excellent teaching methodology for nurturing the students into excellent engineers as well as good human beings.

There are many career paths for civil engineers. Civil engineers are essential in government agencies, private and public sector undertakings to take up various mega projects like metro railway projects, express highway corridors, industrial structures, reservoir projects, flyovers, townships and mega city projects. Today, the world is undergoing vast changes in technological revolution, population growth and environmental concerns. All these changes create unique challenges for civil engineers. The next decade under the leadership of our prime minister, will be the most creative, demanding and rewarding times for civil engineers.
