PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Civil Engineers conceive, design, build, supervise, operate, construct and maintain infrastructure projects and systems in the public and private sector, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment.

Engineers work with many other professionals in teams to make our world a better place. Their work space may include different places, like offices and laboratories, far-flung or not so common sites or places others never get to go, such as underground and at sea! These opportunities make Civil Engineering one of the most exciting careers choices around.

• Earthquake Engineers make sure structures can withstand earthquakes.
• Environmental Engineers protect the environment and protect us from extreme weather.
• Geo-technical Engineers focus on the ground, which affects everything built on it (buildings), with it (dams and levees) and in it (tunnels and pipelines).
• Project Management Engineers make sure entire projects are delivered on time and on budget.

A Degree in Civil Engineering covers a plethora of scientific topics, including, Mechanics, Hydraulics, Materials Science and Statistical Analysis. At the Chitkara University, the study of these foundation subjects will be complemented with the development of design skills, with computer-aided designs in particular. The final year will involve field trips and the conception of several personal or team projects, which will further play an important role to provide on-the-job training and real-life application of knowledge.
