DEPARTMENT PROFILE – CIVIL ENGINEERING

Godavari Institute of Engineering & Technology (A), Rajahmundry ranks among the top civil engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh. The department of civil engineering established in the year 2008 with a sanctioned intake of 60 and currently 120. Post graduate course was started in the year 2012 with current intake of 18, with specialization in structural engineering.

Civil Engineering is a good choice for students who want to work directly with society and serve it. The primary purpose of any Civil Engineer is to provide various facilities and build necessary infrastructure to meet all social needs. Shelter, drinking water, and waste water management, as well as the movement of people and products via various forms of transportation such as roads, railways, Airways & Urban Transportation Systems, Management of Water Resources through Dams & Reservoirs are addressed by a Civil Engineer. Communication, Organizational, Leadership and Decision making skills are very important to civil engineer as every infrastructure projects requires huge man power and team management. Key skills that differentiates a Civil Engineer from others are emotional intelligence and Creativity with societal responsibility
