B.TECH IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

Civil Engineering is not a popular course of choice due to the software and electronics boom of the past two decades, which has pushed this field into the sidelines. But, with India’s growing economy and lagging infrastructure, it is becoming increasingly evident that India needs skilled, qualified and bright civil engineers like never before.

The foundation for civil engineering lies in the basic sciences – mathematics, physics, and chemistry. A strong foundation in the basic sciences will help students grasp engineering principles and concepts with relative ease. Civil engineering students can specialize in any of the following sub-disciplines during their undergraduate and/or postgraduate studies: environmental engineering, construction engineering, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, and transportation engineering, to name a few. Since civil engineering is a very broad discipline, students have good opportunities for both higher studies and jobs as well. Students may think Why civil engineering? below are some career prospects for this question.

Career Prospects

Planning new townships and extension of existing towns, building the suitable structures for the rural and urban areas for various utilities, building river navigation and flood control projects, devise systems for control and efficient flow of traffic, providing and maintaining solid and wastewater disposal systems, earthquake resistant design of civil engineering structures and many such more are challenges of job as a civil engineer. Apart from this fast-growing industrialization has put heavy responsibilities on civil engineers to preserve and protect the environment.

The profession demands excellent skills for both administration and supervision of projects. Excellence and responsibility are important factors associated with the job. In other words, whenever you see or read about any popular landmark in the world (iconic works like Golden Gate Bridge, The Gateway of India, Burj Khalifa, etc.), there is a civil engineer involved in its construction.

Civil engineering probably has the maximum slots for a job in governments sectors like IES, PSUs and State public service commissions. Not only in government sectors, private sectors even have more demand for skilled civil engineers. If we talk about research, civil engineering offers a lot to do. Either it is core or interdisciplinary research, civil engineering covers a big domain of research and development field.

Job Profiles

Civil engineers typically do the following:

Analyze survey reports, maps, and other data to plan projects
Consider construction costs, government regulations, potential environmental hazards, and other factors in planning stages and risk analysis
Compile and submit permit applications to local, state, and federal agencies verifying that projects comply with various regulations
Perform or oversee soil testing to determine the adequacy and strength of foundations
Test building materials, such as concrete, asphalt, or steel, for use in particular projects
Provide cost estimates for materials, equipment, or labor to determine a project’s economic feasibility
Use design software to plan and design transportation systems, hydraulic systems, and structures in line with industry and government standards
Perform or oversee, surveying operations to establish reference points, grades, and elevations to guide construction
Present their findings to the public on topics such as bid proposals, environmental impact statements, or property descriptions
Manage the repair, maintenance, and replacement of public and private infrastructure
Many civil engineers hold supervisory or administrative positions ranging from supervisor of a construction site to city engineer. Others work in design, construction, research, and teaching.

Civil engineers work on complex projects, so they usually specialize in one of several areas.

Construction engineers manage construction projects, ensuring that they are scheduled and built in accordance with the plans and specifications. They are typically responsible for design and safety of temporary structures used during construction.
Geo-technical engineers work to make sure that foundations are solid. They focus on how structures built by civil engineers, such as buildings and tunnels, interact with the earth (including soil and rock). In addition, they design and plan for slopes, retaining walls, and tunnels.
Structural engineers design and assess major projects, such as buildings, bridges, or dams, to ensure their strength and durability.
Transportation engineers plan, design, operate and maintain everyday systems, such as streets and highways, but they also plan larger projects, such as airports, ports, mass transit systems, and harbors.

The scope of Civil Engineering

When planning to find a career in a conventional and promising branch of engineering, Civil Engineering is one of the most sought-after options among students in India. If you are one of them, the following post offers information about the scope in civil engineering, career prospects, and other career suggestion. Keep reading…Civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering specialisations. Jobs varying from planning, implementation, and designing of a wide range of structural activities are available for civil engineers after graduation.

A career in civil engineering is highly rewarding. There are jobs that involve supervision, construction, design, and analyses of private as well as public projects, such as dams, highways, canals, water sewage and bridges. The profession demands excellent skills for both administration and supervision of projects. Excellence and responsibility are important factors associated with the job. In other words, whenever you see or read about any popular landmark in the world (iconic works like Golden Gate Bridge, The Gateway of India, Burj Khalifa, etc.), there is a civil engineer involved in its construction. Isn’t it interesting!
