Welcome to Civil Engineering Department

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT :

In 1999, after a gap of about 15 years, GVPCoE was the first private engineering college to have started Civil Engineering Department, in the Andhra Pradesh State with an intake of 30 students. The current intake is 120. The department offers two PG programmes, viz., M.Tech(Infrastructural Engineering & Management) and M.Tech(Structural Engineering), with an intake of 18 each. The department has well-qualified faculty and non-teaching staff and well- equipped laboratories to impart training to the students. The department has Civil Engineering computer softwares like STAAD, STRUDS, AUTOCAD, ESTIMATION Software etc.


The pass percentage of the students has been consistently high (over 80%) in all the years. The college has bagged University First Ranks in the years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008, 2009. Students are also imparted training on various value-added courses like AutoCAD, STAAD, Total Station Surveying, GIS and GPS technologies. Every year around 10 to 12 of our students are able to get admissions into M.Tech / M.S. program of various IITs/IISc., and in universities abroad. Alumni of the department are working in various organisations, viz., GMR International Airport, Soma Enterprises, Simplex Concrete Piles Ltd, NCC, GAMMON India Ltd, L&T etc. Faculty and staff are encouraged to improve their qualifications. Two faculty have completed their Ph.Ds after joining the college, and 4 more are about to submit their theses. The faculty are also working on both internally & externally-funded R&D projects and have published their research in various journals and conferences. All the faculty of the department are actively involved in consultancy projects, and the department has so far executed consultancy jobs to the tune of Rs. 2.0 crores.


The prestigious consultancy works taken up by the department, to name a few are, ACA-VDCA stadium (PM Palem, Vizag), Rajiv Smruthi Bhavan (Beach Road, Vizag), Construction of underground cavern for HCC, design of plastic diaphragm wall for Polavaram Dam. The department of this college has been identified as one of the four colleges in the Andhra Pradesh State to collaborate with IIT Madras, for imparting training on Capacity Building of Engineers in Earthquake Risk Management. Students of the department have brought laurels by winning prizes in various curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. The Placement record of the department is very good and students have secured jobs in the best construction companies of India. All these efforts have brought the department in the year 2006, 5-year accreditation by NBA in the very first attempt, based on the recommendation of an inspection committee headed by Prof. Dr. Sridharan of IISc, Bangalore and with Prof. G.V.Rao of IIT Delhi as a member. The department conducts regularly seminars/ workshops/ symposia which provide an opportunity to the faculty and students to update their knowledgebase. The department has successful collaborations with various organizations.
