Civil Engineering

In the year 2006, the Department of Civil Engineering started offering the B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) degree in Civil Engineering. The Master of Engineering in Structural Engineering was established in 2014. This Civil Engineering graduate programme has in mind to gives students with a comprehensive understanding of Civil Engineering approaches with respect to their application in a wide range of contexts, as well as for building sustainable communities. By teaching civil engineering problem solving and ethical responsibility, the students will become competent of identifying, developing, and solving civil engineering problems that satisfy specified performance, cost, time, safety, and other quality goals and objectives. The Structural Engineering graduate programme at NICHE offers advanced expertise in Structural Engineering and equips its graduates to solve real-world problems with professionalism and integrity. Besides preparing students to serve current industry demands, the course also places priority on research-based projects and preparing students for teaching and research that may lead to future positions in academia. The feature of the department is a team of qualified faculty with extensive expertise. Several renovations and updates have been made to the Civil Engineering Laboratory. The facility includes capabilities for large-scale experimental research in addition to offices, classrooms, and laboratories. Faculty who are undertaking research have access to a machine shop that is capable of manufacturing practically any item required. Additionally, the capabilities in the Computing facilities are available to members of the Civil Engineering Department of NICHE. The Structural Engineering Laboratory is buzzing with activity, with researchers conducting large-scale testing to develop new, more durable structural systems and to identify new, inventive techniques for restoring and maintaining the country's aged infrastructure. The structural engineering faculty runs a number of facilities like Concrete Laboratory, Non-destructive Testing facilities, and virtual simulation techniques, all of which are changing the way that structural engineering is done. Both the programmes focus on project-based initiatives that incorporate both industry and academic endeavours, which will help them to develop into valuable professionals for a holistic growth. Many of our alumni have distinguished academic and professional positions in universities, corporations, and government agencies all around the world. The section offers consulting services for testing and design with regard to materials.
