Know our department
Diploma in Civil Engineering programme of SVSD is designed with an endeavor to create globally competitive and employable engineers. Diploma in Civil Engineering is related to the design, construction, and maintenance of the physically and naturally built environment such as the roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. The major sub-disciplines of the course include the basics of drafting (both manual and computer-aided), planning, surveying, construction technology, estimation and costing, highways, bridges, railways, airports, tunnels, and port engineering. The programme offers the students a conducive and rewarding environment by contributing to seminars, live projects and case studies to pursue the ideas, cultivate the spirit of curiosity and sustain passion for excellence. The perfect blend of Industry Academia environment develops students with practical hands-on sessions offering a dynamic teaching program for creating a vibrant and successful community of professionals who can develop both concept and skill essential for drawing, design, analysis, construction and maintenance of various kinds of Civil Engineering projects; teaching, research for academia. Dedicated faculties of the programme try to implement the software applications such as AUTOCAD & STAAD in Civil Engineering. Civil engineers professionally design and construct industrial plants, buildings, transmission towers/lines, waterworks, river navigation, airport runways, skyscrapers, power plants, irrigation canals, traffic control infrastructure, dams, shipping canals, bridges, and railroads.
