B.Tech in Civil Engineering

Recognized as the mother of all engineering, Civil Engineering it is the oldest and broadest engineering discipline, which deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. Civil engineers build bridges, roads, canals, dams, tall buildings, tunnels, highways as well as water supply and sewage systems/ by applying physical laws, mathematical equations and theories of mechanics. The role of a Civil Engineer is to utilize the available resources

(expertise, materials, manpower) to complete the project in the given time span. A good Civil engineer is expected to consider many factors in the design process, from the construction costs and expected lifetime of a project, to government regulations and potential environmental hazards such as earthquakes.

Civil engineering in wider prospective has many engineering sub-fields, such as transportation engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, and construction engineering.

Civil Engineering @ Quest

The Civil Engineering program at Quest Group of Institutions emphasizes the study and application of traditional fields within Civil Engineering and construction management including construction techniques and equipment, surveying, hydraulics, structural steel & concrete design, soil mechanics/analysis and environmental controls/treatment. The curriculum includes an introduction to civil engineering design concepts, construction management and principles, extensive laboratory activities and computer applications.

The curriculum provides a solid foundation in civil design, construction and environmental studies.  Graduates are prepared to perform particularly well in the application of existing technologies to most aspects of the civil engineering field.

The department is fully equipped with the best infrastructure & equipments in the region, which is backed by highly qualified and experienced faculty members. The department lays major emphasis on the practical work and field visits. Industry experts have been romped in as mentors to share their valuable experience with the students, so as to make them learn nuances of the trade quickly.

The department has started a research wing, for giving a know how to students about research and development in the field of Civil Engineering. Students of the department show great interest in research work paper presentations.

Career Prospects

Civil engineers work in teams or in coordination with many other engineers on most of the projects. There are vast job opportunities in civil engineering field in the Govt., Semi-Govt.and Private sectors :-

Govt. Sector: Various centre and state govt. departments like P.W.D. (B&R, Irrigation, and Public Health etc), C.P.W.D., and M.E.S. & Education need Civil Engineers.

Semi- Govt.: Various Boards & Govt. undertakings like Electricity, Railways, and Local Bodies like Municipal Committees etc require Civil Engineers for their developmental & maintenance projects.

Private Sector: There are several construction companies (L&T, Simplex Infrastructures, Soma Constructions, Jay Pee Group, DLF, and Omaxe etc.) that  require large no. of civil engineers and demand is growing day by day.
