" The best creator next to God are Civil Engineers "

Civil engineering is the oldest branch of the profession of engineering after military engineering. Civil engineering is that field of engineering concerned with planning, design and construction for environmental control, development of natural resources, buildings, transportation facilities and other structures required for health, welfare, safety, employment and pleasure of mankind.

What is Civil Engineering ?

The application of science, mathematics, business, and other fields to harness efficiently the resources of nature to develop structures and facilities that benefit the entire society at the current time and in the future.

Role of Civil Engineer in Society :

A civil engineer has to conceive, plan, estimate, get approval, create and maintain all civil engineering activities. Civil engineer has very important role in the development of the following infrastructure

  • Measure and map the earth's surface.
  • Plan new townships and extension of existing towns.
  • Build the suitable structures for the rural and urban area for various utilities.
  • Build tanks and dams to exploit water resources.
  • A Diploma in Civil Engineering is a technical program that provides students with a strong foundation in the principles and practices of civil engineering. The program typically spans three years and covers a range of subjects related to construction, infrastructure development, and project management.

Core Subjects :

  • Engineering Mathematics
  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Construction Materials
  • Surveying
  • Building Design and Drawing
  • Structural Analysis
  • Geotechnical Engineering
  • Transportation Engineering
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Quantity Surveying and Estimation
  • Construction Management

Laboratory Work :

  • Materials Testing Laboratory
  • Surveying Laboratory
  • Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory
  • Structural Analysis Laboratory
  • Concrete Technology Laboratory
  • Field work
  • Many diploma programs include fieldwork components such as site visits and practical training to provide hands-on experience.
  • Project Work
  • Many diploma programs include fieldwork components such as site visits and practical training to provide hands-on experience.
  • Elective Subjects
  • Depending on the program, students may have the option to choose elective subjects in areas such as earthquake engineering, water resources engineering, or advanced construction techniques.

  • Environmental Engineer : Address environmental issues related to construction projects, such as water and air quality.

  • Water Resources Engineer : Work on projects related to water supply, drainage, and flood control.

  • Construction Manager : Oversee the planning, budgeting, and execution of construction projects.

  • Quantity Surveyor : Estimate and manage costs related to construction projects.

  • Site Engineer : Supervise construction sites, ensuring that work is carried out according to plans and specifications.

  • Project Manager : Manage and coordinate all aspects of a construction project from planning to completion.

  • Urban Planner : Develop plans for land use and infrastructure to support sustainable development.

  • CAD Technician : Plan, design, and oversee construction projects such as buildings, bridges, roads, and infrastructure.

  • Consulting Engineer : Work for consulting firms, providing expertise on various civil engineering projects.

  • Government Jobs : Work in government agencies responsible for infrastructure development and public works.

  • Entrepreneurship : Start your own construction or consulting firm.

  • Further Education : Pursue higher education, such as a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, for broader career opportunities.
