Advanced Departmental Electives
The department offers several advanced elective courses that allow students to specialize in specific areas of structural engineering. These courses are designed to provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills required for tackling complex engineering problems.
Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering
This course delves into the behavior of structures under dynamic loads, particularly earthquakes. Students learn about modal analysis, response spectra, and design principles for seismic-resistant structures. The course includes both theoretical concepts and practical applications using industry-standard software tools.
Advanced Steel Design
This elective explores advanced topics in steel structure design including composite construction, lateral load-resisting systems, and design of special moment frames. It covers the latest codes and standards for steel design and provides students with hands-on experience in structural modeling and analysis.
Bridge Engineering
The bridge engineering course focuses on the design and analysis of various types of bridges including beam, arch, suspension, and cable-stayed structures. Students gain insights into bridge components, load path analysis, and construction techniques used in modern bridge projects.
Environmental Engineering
This course introduces students to environmental issues related to civil engineering projects. It covers topics such as water and wastewater treatment, air pollution control, solid waste management, and sustainable design practices that minimize environmental impact.
Project Management
This elective equips students with essential project management skills needed in the construction industry. Topics include project planning, risk assessment, resource allocation, scheduling, budgeting, and quality control. Students apply these concepts through case studies and simulations.
Smart Structures and Structural Health Monitoring
The course explores emerging technologies in structural engineering including sensors, data acquisition systems, and real-time monitoring techniques. Students learn how to integrate smart materials and intelligent systems into structural designs for improved performance and safety.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our department strongly believes in the power of project-based learning to enhance student understanding and application of engineering principles. Through structured projects, students develop critical thinking skills, teamwork abilities, and real-world problem-solving capabilities.
The mandatory mini-projects are assigned during the second year and involve working on small-scale structural problems under faculty supervision. These projects help students apply theoretical concepts learned in class to practical scenarios.
For the final-year thesis/capstone project, students select topics related to their area of interest from a list of faculty research areas or propose innovative ideas for exploration. The selection process involves discussions with potential mentors and consideration of available resources and facilities.
