Department of Civil Engineering:
Brief about the Department:
The Department of Civil Engineering was established in 1959, along with the setting up of
the institute, that is, REC Warangal. The Department offers undergraduate and eight
postgraduate programs in addition to Ph.D. The Department has highly committed faculty
who are well qualified and are members of several national and international policy making
and advisory bodies, including the BIS. The Department is a recognized QIP center since
1978 to offer Ph.D. programs to faculty of other institutes. The Department is known for its
cutting-edge research and believes in disseminating the knowledge through publishing in
highly reputed journals and patenting the research work.
The Department maintains excellent industry-institute linkages. Most of the students are
placed in reputed companies, Government organizations, and Higher Educational Institutes
in India and abroad. The alumni who are important stakeholders of the Department actively
guide and provide valuable inputs. They constantly peer review the syllabus and curriculum
to make students industry-ready.
The Civil Engineering Department, apart from Teaching and R&D, also does an enormous
amount of consultancy, which adds up to the institutional internal revenue generation and
involves faculty and students in challenging field problems. There are six centers of
excellence in the Department, and most laboratories have state-of-the-art equipment.
The faculty of the Department are actively involved in sponsored projects and have
prestigious projects like SPARC, BRICS, IMPRINT, DST, SERB, DBT, ARDB, to name a
few. The Department takes pride in having conducted the highest number of GIAN and
SPARC programs.
The Civil Engineering Department has MoUs with highly reputed organizations like NAAC,
NCCBM, WALAMTARI, SCCL, INVENTA, PSI, among others, and has collaborations with
several foreign universities and companies such as – Texas A&M, NCAR-Colorado, PTV
Group Germany, etc.
