Civil Engineering is one of the oldest disciplines of engineering fields. Civil Engineering is all about infrastructural development and design techniques. The root of civilization is based on civil engineering. If there is no growth in the infrastructure of a country, one cannot think of growth in any sector. One of the greatest engineering legends from India, Sir. M. Vishweshwaryya who has been honored with the knighthood by the queen of England is basically a civil engineer.
Civil Engineers build the world’s infrastructure. In doing so they quietly shape the History of Nations around the world. To train the students with such qualities, the evergreen Civil engineering department was started for the academic year 2010-2011 with the intake of 60 in KLS’s VDIT Haliyal.
Department is well equipped with modern instruments to carry out the laboratory experiments.
The department has a library with a good number of books to help the students to upgrade their knowledge in various areas of Civil Engineering.
The department has a student’s association, “ACES” which conduct Technical Talk, site visit Quiz, Building Model making to encourage the students and to showcase their talents.
Department is headed by Dr. Ashik Bellary along with other eight well-qualified teaching faculty.
Civil Engineering
