Academic Programmes Offered
B. Tech in Civil Engineering
M. Tech in Structural Engineering
The Department of Civil Engineering at Vardhaman College of Engineering was established in 2009 and offers a robust academic framework through its undergraduate (B.Tech.) programme in Civil Engineering and postgraduate (M. Tech.) programme in Structural Engineering. Both programmes are affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH). The B. Tech Civil Engineering programme is accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) under Tier-I.
The B. Tech Civil Engineering programme is designed to provide a strong foundation in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, water resources engineering, and construction management, along with exposure to emerging technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), sustainable construction materials, and smart infrastructure systems. The curriculum is periodically updated in line with AICTE model curriculum and industry requirements, ensuring that students are well prepared for higher studies, competitive examinations, and professional practice.
The M. Tech Structural Engineering programme focuses on advanced concepts in structural analysis and design, earthquake engineering, advanced concrete technology, and computational techniques. The programme emphasizes research orientation, innovation, and advanced problem-solving skills, enabling graduates to contribute effectively to academia, research organizations, consultancy, and core civil engineering industries.
The department is supported by a highly qualified and dynamic faculty team, comprising predominantly of doctorates from premier institutes such as the IITs and NITs. It houses well-equipped laboratories and state-of-the-art experimental and computational facilities across key areas, including Structural Engineering, Concrete Technology, Geotechnical Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Remote Sensing and GIS, and Transportation Engineering. All academic and laboratory practices are structured with a strong emphasis on Outcome-Based Education (OBE).
To support a comprehensive and practice-oriented learning experience, the department is equipped with the following laboratories:
In addition to regular academic laboratories, the department has Project Laboratories, Research Laboratories, and advanced software facilities to support student projects and research activities. The department promotes a strong culture of research, innovation, and interdisciplinary learning through funded projects, consultancy services, student research publications, product design challenges, and participation in technical competitions. Faculty and students actively work in areas such as sustainable construction materials, disaster-resilient structures, urban infrastructure, smart transportation systems, and environmental protection.
The department maintains close interaction with industry through industrial visits, internships, guest lectures, workshops, certification programs, and collaborative projects. Student-centric initiatives such as mentoring systems, remedial classes, bridge courses, value-added programs, and career guidance activities further enhance the learning ecosystem. Professional bodies such as ACI, IEEE-GRSS, IGS, BIS Club, ISTE, ICI, and student technical associations contribute significantly to professional development.
M1: To adopt processes enhancing student learning experience and professional skills.
M2: To enhance entrepreneurial skills among the students through Industry Institute Interaction.
M3: To work in-tandem with industry to facilitate advancement of technology for societal needs.
M4: To promote research and continuing education through multi-disciplinary activities.
Enhance students’ skills in structural analysis, geotechnical investigation, environmental testing, surveying, and construction planning through regular hands-on laboratory sessions, fieldwork, and software training using tools such as STAAD, ETABS, SAFE, AutoCAD, Revit, and GIS platforms.
Encourage interdisciplinary project development in collaboration with Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science departments to address real-world challenges in smart infrastructure, sustainable construction, and urban development.
Establish Centres of Excellence in emerging domains such as Sustainable Construction Materials, Smart Cities, Disaster-Resilient Structures, Transportation Systems, and Environmental Sustainability through MoUs with reputed construction firms, consultancies, and research organizations.
Develop a structured internship-to-placement ecosystem by strengthening partnerships with construction companies, design consultancies, government agencies, and infrastructure organizations, along with regular site visits, expert lectures, industrial webinars, and collaborative training programs.
Continuously integrate Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital construction, geospatial technologies, green building concepts, smart transportation systems, and AI-based structural health monitoring into the curriculum and certification programs.
Promote a strong research and innovation culture by encouraging quality publications, funded research projects, consultancy services, product development, hackathons, start-ups, incubation support, and student–faculty entrepreneurship in infrastructure and sustainability domains.
