About Department

The civil engineering department is running Bachelor of engineering course since 2009 having the current intake of 120 seats and Post Graduate (M.E) program since 2012 with 18 seats. The prime goal of the department is to bridge the gap between Rapidly expanding technology demands with innovation, research-based  by using  skilled/quality conscious approach to achieve an admirable grip in the academic field of civil engineering.

At S.N. Patel Institute of Technology and Research Centre, Umrakh, the Civil Engineering Department stands as a beacon of academic excellence and practical ingenuity. Our department is committed to nurturing aspiring engineers into visionary problem-solvers equipped to address the infrastructure challenges of the 21st century. Through a dynamic curriculum curated to blend theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, students embark on a journey of discovery, exploring the diverse facets of civil engineering from structural design to transportation planning.

With state-of-the-art laboratories, industry collaborations, and a team of dedicated faculty members, the Civil Engineering Department at S.N. Patel Institute of Technology and Research Centre empowers students to push the boundaries of innovation. From sustainable construction practices to resilient infrastructure solutions, our students are at the forefront of cutting-edge research and technology, driving progress and shaping the future of the built environment. With a strong emphasis on holistic learning and real-world applications, we strive to inspire our students to become leaders in the field, driving positive change and leaving a lasting impact on society.

Message from Head of Department

Head of DepartmentCivil engineering is a "People serving profession". Civil engineering is considered to be one of the most versatile and  oldest engineering discipline. It deals with the built environment and can be dated to the first time someone placed a shelter and roof over his or her head. The future strength of the civil engineering profession will come from an engineering workforce that mirrors the population it serves. The Civil Engineering Program at S. N. Patel Institute provides students with a broad educational background essential to modern civil engineering practice and research.

Here our goal is to trainee technocrats in such a way that they can apply their engineering knowledge for the development of Nation. Our well-qualified faculties, well-equipped laboratories, time to time arrangements of field visit and expert talks help students understanding and thinking abilities for accuracy. One key factor that defines a successful civil engineer is the ability to plan down and implement to the tiniest detail with accuracy.

Prof. Keyur P. Shah

Vision

To be a recognized department by providing quality education in the field of civil engineering with entrepreneurship and research skills for sustainable development and to provide efficient technocrats to society.

Mission

  1. To fulfil changing needs of stakeholders while providing excellence in delivery and assessment to ensure the holistic development of civil engineering students.

Graduates will be able to analyse, design and solve problems in the fields of civil engineering, with specialization in structural engineering, environmental engineering, water resource engineering, transportation engineering, construction engineering & management, and geotechnical engineering.
  2. Graduates will be able to deal with practical and challenging aspects of civil engineering economically.
  3. Graduates will be able to follow ethics with team spirit in execution of civil engineering projects.

Programme Outcomes (POs)

  1. Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
  2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
  3. Design/Development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
  4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions for complex problems.
    • That cannot be solved by straightforward application of knowledge, theories and techniques applicable to the engineering discipline as against problems given at the end of chapters in a typical text book that can be solved using simple engineering theories and techniques;
    • That may not have a unique solution. For example, a design problem can be solved in many ways and lead to multiple possible solutions;
    • That require consideration of appropriate constraints / requirements not explicitly given in the problem statement such as cost, power requirement, durability, product life, etc., Which need to be defined (modelled) within appropriate mathematical framework; and
    • That often require use of modern computational concepts and tools, for example, in the design of an antenna or a DSP filter.
  5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
  6. The Engineering & society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
  7. Environment & sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
  8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
  9. Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
  10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
  11. Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
  12. Life-Long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and lifelong learning in the broadest context of technological change.
