B.Tech Civil Engineering

Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering

B.Tech Civil Engineering or Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering is an undergraduate Civil Engineering course. Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like bridges, roads, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering and it was defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. 

The Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering course is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering. Civil engineering takes place on all levels in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies. The duration of the course is four years and it may be offered by some institutes more or fewer times as per their rules and regulations.

How is the B.Tech Civil Engineering Course Beneficial?

• Civil Engineers can find a job in Government departments, private and public sector industries, research and teaching institutions, etc. Job opportunities for civil engineers are expected to increase as fast as the average for all jobs, although the construction industry is vulnerable to fluctuations in the economy.
• Civil engineers will always be needed to maintain and repair existing facilities and structures and to construct new ones. After doing B. Tech, one can look for jobs in road projects, building work, consultancy firms, quality testing laboratories, or housing societies. The experts say there is a high demand for experienced civil engineers in developed countries.
• Civil engineers are employed in all the major construction projects carried out by the state or central government, the railways, private construction companies, military, engineering services, consultancy services, etc.
• Civil engineering graduates can also go in for research and take up teaching or they can open their own independent consultancy services.
