The Department of Civil Engineering has been in existence since the inception of its parent, M I T Manipal in 1957, and has blossomed into a center of excellence in Civil Engineering. In addition to the undergraduate program (B.E in Civil Engg.), the department offers three post graduate programs: M.Tech. in Structural Engineering, M. Tech in Construction Engineering and M.Tech. in Environmental Engineering and the Doctoral program (Ph.D)
A highly qualified and dedicated faculty well trained and experienced supporting staffs, backing of a progressive management, state of the art laboratories, classrooms, library facilities and infrastructure provide a conducive environment for the pursuit of academic excellence.
The department is well equipped with following well established laboratories: Strength of Materials, Concrete and Highway material testing, Environmental Engineering, Soil Mechanics, Structural Engineering, Engineering Geology, Irrigation, Hydraulic Mechanics and Survey.
The department has a strong research focus on Soil Stability and Mechanics, Environmental Science and Pollution Abatement, Concrete Technology, Environmental Geochemistry, Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics. The faculty regularly participates in several academic activities by presenting research papers at national and international levels. The department offers consultancy and testing services for structural analysis, cement, building materials, steel and water samples to private and government organizations, builders and the local populace.
The department lays emphasis on educating and equipping students to manage the challenges of a professional engineering career. A step in this direction is the concept of practice school, where in the students have an option of carrying out their full time project work in an institute or company of repute in their final year study.
The department has an excellent track record for placement of its graduates too: reputed companies routinely visit the campus for recruitment and nearly all eligible students are absorbed.
The department frequently organizes continuing-education-programs, technical lectures and talks from experts in emerging areas of Civil Engineering.

The department takes pride in the achievement of its distinguished alumni, who hold prestigious positions in private and government organizations, industry and academia, across the globe.

The department is geared to soar into greater heights of excellence and achievement in the days to come.
