Civil Engineering (CIVIL)

In the present context, higher learning institutions offering engineering programme in India have evolved into adopting an outcome based education. The performance of any programme is evaluated based on the outcome of the graduates rather than outputs. The Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) formulated for the civil engineering programme are listed below;

• Graduates will be successful in professional career by continuously acquiring the fundamentals and core in Civil Engineering.
• Graduates will be able to get technical knowledge to analyze and design the real life problems in Civil Engineering.
• Graduates will engage in lifelong learning by pursuing higher studies and Research.
• Graduates will exhibit good ethical and communication skills, lead a team with good leadership traits and good interpersonal relationship.

Following are the list of Programme Outcomes (POs) selected for the Civil Engineering programme.

The students should be able to acquire the following outcomes by fulfilling the objectives (POs) after successful completion of the courses.

• Engineering knowledge: Apply knowledge of mathematics, physical sciences and Civil Engineering fundamentals.

The Civil Engineering department of P.S.R. Engineering College was started in 2009, to cater to the growing needs of builders for our nation and to the world at large. The department also offers a PG program in M.E. Structural Engineering. The Department is recognized as Research Centre by Anna University for Ph.D level research since 2015. The department has the state of art facilities equipped with latest instruments, equipment, and software for imparting technical knowledge on par with international requirements. Under graduate and Post-graduate students and Research Scholars from our department of civil engineering are imparted with theoretical and practical knowledge which enables them to succeed and have an edge in the competitive world. The students here experience an unparalleled education journey, which prepares them to be a global construction business leader. Apart from academic learnings, the students get an opportunity to participate in various activities and events all throughout the academic year, which contributes to their holistic development. All the students undergo a summer internship programme, which gives them a chance to explore and experience the corporate work life.

Besides high quality teaching and research at both UG and PG levels, faculty members are actively involved in executing a number of  R&D and Consultancy projects from government agencies including DST, ISRO, UGC, AICTE and also from many reputed industries. The department of Civil Engineering with its multifaceted faculty members, continues to maintain and cultivate its strong link with the infrastructural industry such as L&T, Southern Railway, Tamilnadu Public Work Department, DLF, RAMCO, Godrej, TATA Consultancy, etc.

I welcome you to be a part of this journey at P.S.R Engineering College, Sivakasi.

All the best to you.
