All about BTech in Civil Engineering from PIEMR

The unsung stars of the engineering world; Civil Engineers, have made almost every remarkable infrastructure standing upon the earth. From the past times to today, and even in the future, the need for civil engineers to create structures as well as infrastructures beneficial for humankind would be a necessity. The work of civil engineers influences people’s work, learning, and living. Civil engineering is one of the most creative professions around the world. 

What is  BTech in Civil Engineering?

BTech in Civil Engineering is a four-year programme, specialising in designing and developing infrastructure projects. The course includes pedagogy that includes planning, designing, budgeting, surveying, construction management and analysis, and more. The most important thing about this course is that its curriculum keeps on updating to adapt to the changing times. In recent years the curriculum has changed to assemble many contemporary environmental concerns, helping to address issues of pollution and scarce resources, and considering the potential of sustainable energy within the industry.

Scope of Civil Engineering:

Well qualified civil engineers are highly in demand by various public and private enterprises. With dynamic advancements in infrastructure and construction, more and more civil engineers are being recruited into the workforce. As it is divided into fields like environmental, town planning, transportation, and construction, their work is always required. The advantages of pursuing the course in civil engineering are as follows:

1. A huge pool of work: Civil engineers can work on any infrastructure project, such as construction and maintenance of bridges, power stations, airports, dams, roads & highways, waterways & expressways, manufacturing plants, buildings, and factories, etc. Work, maintenance of these projects, as well as the construction of new projects never ceases.
2. Lucrative career: A civil engineer earns a good amount of money in India. It all depends on the competitiveness of the graduates and the industry standards. With more skills and expertise, one can come up with their engineering consultancy, and some can even try teaching or can become a professor in the branch.
3. High Demand: There is a huge demand for well-trained and qualified civil engineers in India. Every year there is a shortage of 7,000 qualified civil engineers in India, and this shortage can easily become a solution for all the graduates looking for jobs elsewhere. With a consistent pattern of studies and work, one can become a successful professional civil engineer. This demand is not just witnessed in India, but even in the International markets, search for a well-qualified civil engineer never sees a slow down.
4. New dimensions of Civil Engineering opening in the world: The world is fast-changing and new upgrades in technology are continuously witnessed everywhere. With these changes, the need for how civil engineering was taught before and how it would change must be taken into consideration. An engineering institute must take all these changes into consideration while designing its curriculum.

New technological upgradations in the world, changing the dynamics of civil engineering are: 

• Virtual Reality
• Augmented Reality
• 3D Printing
• Smart Buildings
• Exoskeletons
• Autonomous Vehicles
• Intelligent Built Environment
• Prefabrications
• Construction Software and Data Ecosystem
• Self Healing Concrete
