The Department of Civil Engineering at NCE offers 4 years (8 Semesters) B.E. course with an intake of 60 students. The department is equipped with all necessary infrastructure and laboratory facilities to conduct the course as per the University prescribed curriculum. The Department of Civil Engineering at NCE is equipped with facilities to undertake Research and Consultancy projects from Government and Private organizations. Many consultancy works like Soil testing, Material Testing like Concrete and Steel, Water analysis have been undertaken. This enables the students to get an exposure to the industry practices. The department association Techcon conducts a number of Co-curricular activities like Workshops, Invited Lectures, Site Visits, Technical Talks by students, Students are encouraged to participate in competitions conducted by various organizations. The department association runs a Wall Magazine where students share information on latest technologies. The department also brings out a News Letter where students and faculty publish articles related to civil engineering and related domains. Every year a Survey Camp is conducted for 10 days as a part of the curriculum where the students learn the techniques of surveying. Results are on the higher side. Most of the eligible students get placed on-campus as well as off-campus. The department strives for all-round development of the students.

Program Outcomes (POs)

At the end of the B.E program, students are expected to have developed the following outcomes.

1. Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
