Civil Engineering is the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of mankind. It is the mother branch of engineering that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. The department of civil engineering was started in the year 2011. The department boasts excellent infrastructure facilities and faculties rich in knowledge and experience. Since its inception, the Civil Engineering Department at AVC College of Engineering has grown into a dynamic center for learning and practical training.
The department offers well-furnished laboratories for all major civil disciplines including Concrete Technology, Soil Mechanics, Surveying, and Environmental Engineering. These labs are equipped with modern instruments, giving students real-time exposure to technical processes. Classrooms are smart-enabled, and the library provides access to a wide range of textbooks, journals, and digital resources. The faculty members are highly qualified, dedicated, and involved in both teaching and research, guiding students with updated knowledge and hands-on mentorship. Regular workshops, seminars, industrial visits, and technical symposiums are conducted to enhance students’ practical knowledge and industry readiness. The department maintains active ties with professional bodies such as IEI and ISTE, and encourages students to engage in memberships and competitions.
Placement support, career guidance, and soft skill training are regularly provided to help students secure jobs in civil engineering firms, government departments, and higher education institutions. The department also participates in community outreach and sustainability initiatives like rainwater harvesting, green buildings, and environmental awareness. With AICTE approval, NAAC accreditation, and continuous efforts toward academic excellence, the department aims to produce skilled, ethical, and socially responsible civil engineers who can contribute to infrastructure development and nation building.
VISION
To produce knowledgeable and professionally qualified Civil Engineers with the capability to offer global solutions to the increasing problems in the construction industry.
MISSION
●● To impart knowledge and training in Civil Engineering.
● To establish state-of-the-art infrastructure to enable learners to update their knowledge in current developments in Civil Engineering
● To bridge the gap between academy and industry through practical exposure and hands-on-training
Our department is dedicated to fostering a dynamic academic environment that encourages innovation, technical mastery, and research-based learning. With committed faculty, advanced laboratory facilities, and strong ties to industry, we ensure our students gain a balanced mix of theoretical insight and hands-on experience, preparing them for successful engineering careers.
We take pride in our legacy of academic distinction and our proactive approach to staying current with emerging technologies. Beyond classroom instruction, we emphasize creativity, analytical thinking, and effective problem-solving. Our students are encouraged to engage in interdisciplinary research, real- time projects, and industrial training to equip themselves for modern engineering challenges. Aligned with the vision of AVC College of Engineering—to become a premier institution that imparts quality technical education and instils ethical values, innovation, and a sense of social responsibility—we work to empower students with the skills and mindset needed to serve society and excel globally. By promoting holistic development, we strive to shape our students into capable professionals and socially responsible engineers who can contribute meaningfully to societal progress. Let’s work together to “To blossom into cynosure of technological innovations.”Associate Professor & HOD
