Overview

Overview

The Civil Engineering Program at SRM University-AP offers students a challenging and rewarding career in industry, private consulting, and government sectors. The holistic curriculum is designed to meet several educational objectives and teaches students not only to analyse and design a breadth of structural and environmental systems, but also to successfully navigate the management-related issues that arise during a project. The programme will feature a fusion of lectures and lab works, and due emphasis will be laid on working within a team, as this is considered a key skill for anyone pursuing Civil Engineering careers. Students are encouraged to take the common engineering courses which deal with basic concepts in mechanics, hydraulics, geotechnics (using knowledge of the earth's crust to solve construction problems), materials science and statistical analysis. The Civil Engineering curriculum will have opportunities to participate in field trips which train the students in professional Civil Engineering practice enhancing their managerial and entrepreneurial skills.

Programme Highlights

Learn from experienced academicians and researchers from top globally ranked leading institutes with international exposure.
Modern Civil Engineering is taught in well-equipped academic and research labs that are also available for undergraduate and graduate research on a variety of experimental and numerical research areas.
The undergraduate curriculum aims to give students a solid foundation in civil engineering and sufficient exposure to the field's research, the business world, and other cross-disciplinary topics.
The most recent curricula balance theory, application, business requirements, and project-based adaptive learning.
To gain experience in cutting-edge studies that are useful to society.
Encourages students to work in a diversified setting while acquiring multidisciplinary knowledge that results in innovation and entrepreneurship by working in a diverse environment.
