HOD Desk

The Civil Engineering branch was started in Annai Vailankanni College of Engineering in 2010. The degree programmes offered by the department are B.E (Civil Engineering). The students develop high quality technical expertise with a sound knowledge in basic engineering principles, technical skills and innovative research capabilities. In addition to this, they are also provided with opportunities to earn valuable experience in the field through value added courses frequently conducted in the Department. The Department has well experienced faculty, skilled technical staff and well equipped laboratories. The Department has a number of ongoing sponsored research projects under various schemes from different funding agencies. The strong and dedicated group of faculty takes up consultancy activities in various streams of Civil Engineering. The Department has signed an MoU with The Builders Association of India for improving industry interaction. The Department of Civil Engineering is a vibrant place for learning, where students pursue their educational interests in order to lead the next generation to better prospects.
