PROJECT LAB DETAILSWe have framed a project lab in the civil engineering department. The purpose of this lab is to provide students a designated place to perform hands-on work for any class project. Previous year project reports and project photos are also kept in this room. With our project-based education, emphasis on experiential learning, and collaborative environment, our students are exposed to a multitude of options in their curriculum. The fetch of civil engineering is very wide. To accommodate the various aspects in one lab is practically impossible. To imbibe the idea of project based learning, a range of well facilitated laboratories is essential, which are well established in the department of civil engineering. The students in this department make full use of the facilities available to them and as such the testing of all the projects can be done in the department itself.
To be concurrent with the latest industrial trends and technologies, adopting an interdisciplinary technique is the need of the hour. Such interdisciplinary technique based projects were undertaken in the department and are also available for display so that the engineers of tomorrow may pick up ideas from them and carry on with their work.
The Department of Civil Engineering has conducted many industrial visits to enhance practical applications based learning. Applying theoretical knowledge to practical applications leaves a long lasting impression on the minds and subsequently it opens up the mind in multiple dimensions. Enriching the minds to culminate ideas has always been the ethos of this department.
Among the various industrial visits, a few are mentioned.- Tehri Dam: This visit mainly focused on water resources engineering and irrigation engineering. It also gave an insight into hydraulic engineering and hydraulic machineries and their working.
- FCI Meerut and Hapur: This visit focused on building planning and drawing. It also dealt with design of steel structures and ventilation.
- Hastinapur Village: Engineering survey to lay down sewer systems, road formation and estimation of reservoir capacity was done.

An appropriate civil infrastructure is vital to the wealth and wellbeing of cultures. Appropriateness is increasingly defined in terms of sustainability, aesthetics, innovation and cultural suitability. These expectations pose challenges for engineers to use their creativity, aesthetic appreciation, knowledge and character to predict and respond creatively with their designs. Our Faculty members and students of Civil Engineering visited two sites of FCI warehouses. This was the consultancy work taken up by our faculty members. The students have worked and actively participated in this work along with the faculty members. As the layouts of the godowns were not prepared so our students has prepared the layouts & also calculated the area of both the sites. Many of our students are involve in the research activities & are working on the new modern materials which are used in construction & are replacing the traditional materia l. Visit bitexam.in
