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.
