Civil Engineering is the mother of all engineering disciplines - so proclaim by the proud civil engineers. Serving to meet one of the three fundamental human needs (food, cloth, and shelter) the discipline has grown long beyond shelter-building basics to sky-scraping towers to high-rise dams to long-span bridges, and to odd-shaped roof structures. To-day's hi-tech Civil engineers are not content with designing and building ordinary-looking houses and roads of the yore, but want to create 'Designer' structures that will challenge their synthesis skill and speak of their profession.The Department of Civil Engineering in Sudharsan Engineering College recognizes the need of the time and provides for the engineering enterprise in the field.
The department is well-established in every sense of the word. The human resource, namely, the faculty, is rich in qualification and high in caliber. The physical resource, namely, the laboratories, is complete in equipment and modern in deployment. The teaching resource, namely, the books, models, and charts, are abundant in number and selective in quality.All put together effectively by the rigorous curriculum delivery of the college,it is ensured that the students of Civil engineering go out as excellent professionals that our fast-progressing country urgently requires.
To achieve Excellence in Technology, Innovation and Research in ethical way to Lead and Serve the Nation and to be recognized as a premier Civil Engineering department in the region. To prepare students as competent Civil Engineering professionals dedicated to the progress and development of the humanity and countries.
Create and develop sustained environment of learning, to nurture the students into highly skillful and ethical professionals by imparting quality education with social obligations. To establish collaborative partnerships with academic, research and industrial entities to provide a knowledge base for existing and emerging technologies to enhance the skills innovativeness, management skills and lifelong learning in Civil Engineering students. To provide students with the principles and methodologies needed for civil engineering practice and prepare students for leadership roles in Civil Engineering.
At Sudharsan Engineering College, we believe in nurturing the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders. Established with a vision to deliver world-class technical education, the college.
