DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

ABOUT US

Department of Engineering took genesis since the inception of MGMCEPS. The department offers Under Graduate and Post Graduate programmes. The Department has been a hub of academic excellence and works on a vision to offer a promising learning experience consistent with the demands of industry to generate professionals with global values and experiences in accepting new challenges in pace with the rapidly transforming technologies. The department aims at producing professionally competent engineers to meet currentindustry requirements with the help of highly qualified, committed faculty members specialized in various disciplines of Engineering.

The department has fully fledged laboratories. To bridge the gap between industry and academia, the department has established an active Engineering Association. With the aim of keeping the students abreast with the latest trends in the industry, the Engineering Association various activities including technical talks, seminars, industrial visits and technical competitions throughout the year. The department provides ample focus on social outreach programs providing a platform for students to contribute to the nation building process. Department encourages student internship in reputed industry and academia. Career oriented classes and skill development sessions conducted helps in building confidence and also imparts in-depth knowledge in the mindset of students. The department strives to emerge as a Center of Excellence and foster a generation of globally competent and socially committed Engineers.

FACILITIES

This department has 6 well-equipped laboratories catering to the different disciplines under engineering.

Surveying is one of the basic areas in Civil Engineering which includes linear and angular measurements of relative positions of the points on the surface of the earth. Students learn techniques for gathering field data with both traditional and modern instruments.

List of Equipments: Prismatic Compass, Chain, Dumpy Level, Theodolite, Total Station.

  1. Basic Workshop:Basic Workshop caters to the curriculum requirements of first year students from all branches. Students are familiarized with setting out of buildings, brick masonry, levelling, area measurements and introduction to plumbing and sanitary fittings.
  1. The Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory intends to train the students in the field of testing of soils to determine their physical, index and engineering properties. Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory is well-equipped for evaluating all engineering properties of soils including index properties, compaction characteristics, consolidation characteristics and shear strength of soils.

Equipments:

  • Pycnometer, Soil Hydrometer and IS Sieves along with Sieve Shaker
  • Liquid limit, Plastic limit and Shrinkage limit apparatus for determining Atterberg’s limit
  • Permeability Test Apparatus (constant & falling heads)
  • CBR Apparatus, Proctor Compaction Apparatus (light and heavy)
  • Direct Shear Apparatus,Vane Shear Apparatus, Triaxial Shear Test Apparatus, Unconfined compression test apparatus.
  1. The Environmental Engineering laboratory practical provides good insight into different experimental methods relevant to Environmental Engineering.  In this lab, various tests on drinking water to check pH value, total dissolved solids, BOD and COD, total suspended particles etc. are performed as per BIS standard. It helps to assess the water quality standard of the region, pollution load in sewage and working efficiency of sewage and other water treatment unit.
