Department of Civil Engineering:

Brief about the Department:
The Department of Civil Engineering was established in 1959, along with the setting up of the
institute, that is, REC Warangal. The Department offers undergraduate and eight postgraduate
programs in addition to Ph.D. The Department has highly committed faculty who are well qualified
and are members of several national and international policy making and advisory bodies, including
the BIS. The Department is a recognized QIP center since 1978 to offer Ph.D. programs to faculty of
other institutes. The Department is known for its cutting-edge research and believes in disseminating
the knowledge through publishing in highly reputed journals and patenting the research work.

The Department maintains excellent industry-institute linkages. Most of the students are placed in
reputed companies, Government organizations, and Higher Educational Institutes in India and
abroad. The alumni who are important stakeholders of the Department actively guide and provide
valuable inputs. They constantly peer review the syllabus and curriculum to make students industry-
ready.

The Civil Engineering Department, apart from Teaching and R&D, also does an enormous amount of
consultancy, which adds up to the institutional internal revenue generation and involves faculty and
students in challenging field problems. There are six centers of excellence in the Department, and
most laboratories have state-of-the-art equipment.

The faculty of the Department are actively involved in sponsored projects and have prestigious
projects like SPARC, BRICS, IMPRINT, DST, SERB, DBT, ARDB, to name a few. The Department
takes pride in having conducted the highest number of GIAN and SPARC programs.

The Civil Engineering Department has MoUs with highly reputed organizations like NAAC, NCCBM,
WALAMTARI, SCCL, INVENTA, PSI, among others, and has collaborations with several foreign
universities and companies such as – Texas A&M, NCAR-Colorado, PTV Group Germany, etc.
