M.E. – Civil (Structural Engineering)

In the recent period, a wide range of remarkable structures and skyscrapers are being designed and built across the world. The Structural Engineering aims to connect the demands of geometry, materials, and forces for various types of civil engineering structures. The aim of the Post Graduate Program in Structural Engineering is to develop competent structural engineers who are industry ready to work in the profession and are able to design the low and high rise residential and commercial buildings in steel and reinforced concrete, bridges, water tanks, industrial structures such as transfer towers, chimneys, silos, and marine structures etc. The program also gives the insight into investigation, assessment and strengthening of the damaged structures. The program also refines the research skills of the students to provide a competitive edge while embarking their career.

Career Opportunities in the Program

Structural engineering is the specialized branch of civil engineering that deals with the structural design, structural stability, reliability of the construction, withstanding seismic forces and other forces etc. The major employers of structural engineers include:

• Start own structural design consultancy firm
• Engineering consultancies firm/ Design offices
• Local authorities
• Oil companies
• Railway operators
• Public utility companies
• The Civil Service
• The Armed Forces
• State and Central Government Establishments

Program Outcomes

• An ability to independently carry out research /investigation and development work to solve practical problems.
