Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is a flexible and key branch among the other branches. This branch has a ton of decent variety directly from Structural engineering to geotechnical sciences, ecological to power through pressure, transportation to hydrology. It offers a wide encouraging career opportunities and professional advancement. Profession openings exist in general society and private parts in the zones of structure, development and support, foundation improvement in both India and abroad. Many opportunities exist in creating nations in middle East, Africa and Asia where framework advancement is getting, and Indian designers are in incredible demand.
This is a forthcoming department, began in the academic year 2014 with the admission of 60. We have state of art established lab facilities such as Building Material testing Lab, Survey Lab, Cad Lab, Geology Lab, geotechnical lab, concrete and highway material lab and environmental engineering lab with all modernized good quality equipment’s. Students are encouraged to actively participate in various extra co-curricular activities.
Vision

Industrial Visit:
6th semester civil engineering students were accompanied with the faculty on a technical tour to Hyderabad from 13/3/2019 to 17/3/2019 to visit the following sites.
1. Rural Technological Park Hyderabad
2. Confederation of Indian Industries Godrej Green Building
3. Ramky Solid Waste Treatment Plant.
Our department would also like to add about the academic survey project conducted for VI semester civil students at Melkote this year from January 10th to 19th 2018.
Everything gets measured in terms of its value. As we value our students, it is our priority to serve them with knowledge and hands on experience. As part of this we had taken our students to survey camp to Melkote, one of the best suitable place to conduct survey as it consists of several hilly terrains and is amidst the nature’s best.
The students were accompanied by staff members who were in charge for each group of students .They were excited to learn about the various terrains,curves,arcs etc.. and also to use the civil instruments in its real applications. The entire camp period was evenly split for all the tasks and drawings involved and our students made the most benefit out of the camp. They conducted survey on NTP (2 days), Highway planning (2 days), Water supply and village planning (2 days), OTP (2 days) Layout planning (1 day) and so on… The students were provided good accommodation and food during their stay on all the 10 days.
The event on the 14 Days Training Programme For FRESH CIVIL ENGINEERS on Building Construction, Supervision and Management (From 11 July 2018 to 27 July 2018) organized by Department of Civil Engineering Vemana institute of Technology, Bengaluru in association with Visvesvaraya Technological University Belagavi, BUILDERS’ASSOCIATION OF INDIA CONSTRUCTION ACADEMY & RESEARCH TRUST, at Vemana institute of Technology was inaugurated on 11th July at 11.00am by Chief guest Prof. Dr. k balaveera Reddy (former vice chancellor VTU, Belgaum) and guest of honours Prof. Dr. K Ranga, (former principal VIT, Koramangala, Bangalore) presided by Sri H N Vijaya Raghava Reddy (president - BAI CONSTRUCTION ACADEMY & RESEARCH TRUST) and also President – Karnataka Reddy Janasangha, with the distinguished participation of Sri K S Someshwara Reddy, state chairman, Karnataka, bai and Sri. Srinivasa Reddy (chairman, Karnataka (Bengaluru) centre, BAI. The programme began with a presentation on various topics in civil engineering and visits to multiple construction sites to aid the students to learn theory in practice and the valedictory program was presided by the chief guest Dr. M U Ashwath, Principal, Bangalore institute of technology, Bengaluru on the 26th of July 2018 at 4.00 p.m.
Final year civil students visited Reach 5 metro casting yard at chandapura on 02/04/2018 and 03/04/2018.
6th semester civil students visited WATER TREATMENT PLANT (BWSSB) on 27/03/2018
1. Civil Engineering department has made MOU with M/s. Prayojana Construction Management Training Institute, Bengaluru to provide internship for UG students and also for organizing the site visit for ongoing projects.
2. Academia and industry are two important pillars in the economy. A robust collaboration between the two will augur well for our developing economy, enabling innovation, growth in the education system and producing an employment - ready work force. A MoU is signed between Vemana institute of technology and HOSHO Consulting private limited for consultancy services and certified software training program related to civil engineering. Thanks to Dr. Vijayasimha Reddy B G, Principal Vemana Institute of Technology, Bengaluru and Professor .Murali Krishna P, Hod, Vemana institute of technology for this initiative.
