Program Outcomes

• Ability to apply the basic knowledge of mathematics,science and engineering to real-life problems.

• Understand problem identification, formulations, and to conduct experiments, by analysis and interpreting the data.

• Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political,ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability.

• Attain the analytical expertise to create, analyze, formulate and solve challenging problems in the field of Civil engineering and also recognize & develop necessary tools for the same.

• Develop technical and management flair to take responsibility for engineering projects and research programs significantly.

• Uncover multidisciplinary approach and co-relate engineering issues to social and human background in broader sense, in which their engineering helping hand will be utilized.

• Implant sensitivity towards ethics, public policies and their responsibilities towards the society.

M.Tech in Construction Engineering & Management

The program is aimed to hone the skills of a student as a construction project manager. The course commences with acquainting the students to the principles of management, construction project planning and scheduling (time management). The course in the later phases deals with the subjects like contract management and quality management. The course is also aimed to keep up with the current trends in the industry. Smart cities, sustainable built environment, disaster management, intelligent buildings, green rating systems are also given due importance in the curriculum which is primarily a research based course. At the end of the course the students must have a publication to their name for degree completion. In a nutshell, the course prepares the students to lead construction projects in the industry.

Course objectives:

• Define and describe construction processes and various engineering roles involved.
• Select and justify contract types for each project delivery system
• Explain and develop work breakdown structures
• Describe, explain, and compare various scheduling techniques
• Develop construction plans and schedules
• Calculate and synthesize construction estimates
• Describe the materials management process
• Identify construction safety hazards and corresponding solutions
• Develop, integrate, and apply construction operations and processes models.

B.Tech + M.Tech (Dual Degree)

This 5-year Integrated B.Tech & M.Tech programme is designed for the optimistic students who want to outperform in the field of science and engineering. Within the duration of Integrated B.Tech & M.Tech degree, all the relevant subjects will be thoroughly learned by the students. Civil Engineering at Gyan Vihar University primarily focuses on enhancing the theoretical as well as practical knowledge of the students in engineering education.

Students of the B.Tech + M.Tech (Dual degree) program spend their first eight semesters doing undergraduate courses together with the students of the B. Tech program, while the last three semesters are spent doing postgraduate courses together with the students of the M.Tech program. At the end of five years, they graduate, receiving both B.Tech and M.Tech degrees together. There is no option of early exit with a B.Tech. degree only. Students in this program who have good academic performance can avail scholarships in the final year, which is at par with that given to students of M. Tech program. The B.Tech + M.Tech dual degree program has been designed to make it attractive for a bright student to do an M.Tech and thus contribute to the research efforts of the department. The student benefits by getting an M.Tech degree with just one year of extra effort, thereby saving at least six to twelve months. The current B.Tech students, both from Civil Engineering and other streams, are allowed to change to dual degree M. Tech program in Civil Engineering.
