The Department of Civil Engineering of the Swami Vivekananda School of Engineering and Technology was established in the year 2008 and has grown over the years into one of the finest centers of advanced research and training in the field of civil engineering and its intake capacity 60.

The Department has been in the forefront of advanced research in Civil Engineering and has also been very pro-active in industrial interaction and technology development.

Civil engineering deals with the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance and research of fixed structures and infrastructures such as buildings, highways, bridges, railroads, tunnels, dams and airports. Civil engineering also deals with solutions to problems involving traffic, water supply, sewer, flood control, and the environment.

Civil Engineering is one of the broadest and oldest of the engineering disciplines, extending across many technical specialties. A civil engineer requires not only a high standard of engineering knowledge but also supervisory and administrative skills. Civil Engineers plan, design, and supervise the construction of facilities essential to modern life needs. A civil engineer is responsible for planning and designing a project, constructing the project to the required scale, and maintenance of it.

Department of Civil Engineering was established in 2008 with an intake of 60, enhanced to 120 in 2011 .It consists of well qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty and committed supporting staff.

The departmental major activities include teaching and research, and providing consultancy services to various organizations in the area of Civil Engineering like Transportation, Meteorology and Earthquake resistant design of structures.

The faculty continues to strive hard by exploring new frontiers of knowledge, imparting the latest technical knowledge to the students and conducting high quality of research. The faculty also renders technical advice on live engineering problems to various Government and Private Sector companies throughout country.
