Construction Technology is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. Construction Technology is the oldest engineering discipline aftermilitary engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering. Construction Technology takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to federal levels, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies. Necessity has demanded for Construction Engineers and hence the department of construction Technology was started in this institute from the academic year 2009-2010. The department is at present conducting one diploma course.
Civil Engineering Department offers Diploma, Under Graduate and Post Graduate programmes.
