Civil Engineering

Civil Engineers have always faced the challenges of the future – advancing civilization and improving the quality of life. The technological revolution and infrastructural development in and around Bangalore are demanding also, is a rewarding time for civil engineers….!!!!!

Civil Engineering branch started in the year 2012 with an intake of 60 students.

Being the youngest of all branches in APSCE, Department of Civil Engineering is a recognized research centre under Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi. About 5 research Scholars have registered for PhD in the department under VTU, who are utilizing the state of the art laboratories for the successful completion of their experimental study.

Students are provided with course materials after it is reviewed by the senior faculty members, Head of Department and Principal for all the subjects studied by the student in that particular semester. Feedbacks are taken TWICE in a semester by the College committee.

We have the best teaching staffs holding/ pursuing Doctoral Degrees with a huge list of publications in various UGC recognized journals by each staff members. Our staffs have attended various National and International Conferences/ Symposiums/ Workshops/ Faculty Development Program at frequent intervals so that they are well trained and equipped to teach the current developments in their respective specializations.

Absolutely NO!!!! A tutorial and remedial classes are taken for difficult subjects along with regular classes, there is no need for the candidate to breed on any coaching classes.

Each student will have a Mentor to discuss any academic problems. Minor problems will be solved by the mentor. In case any major issue to the candidate then the problem will be solved through a proper channel which includes Head of the Department and the Vice Principal, Department of Civil Engineering, APSCE.

Civil Engineering Department Library has an innumerous number of books of all the subjects including professional electives and open electives. Books will be issued to all students from our department Library. A reading room is available in the department for students to refer the reference books throughout the day.

All laboratories are in the state of the art for carrying out research works in the various fields of Civil Engineering such as Concrete Technology, Highway Engineering, Alternative Building Materials, Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, etc.
