Welcome to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DCEE). The DCEE at Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IIT Patna) is a dynamic and growing department. The DCEE is an innovative and vibrant place of learning, where students pursue their educational and research interests in order to lead the next generation in transforming the disciplines of civil and environmental engineering.
Goal of the DCEE is to reach the level of excellence in teaching and research, provide a high quality teaching and learning environment in the field of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering to make students capable of innovative thinking, and lead the field to next level. Improve the lifestyle of the society by creating various innovative works and transferring technological knowledge from classroom to the real life.
Civil engineering constitutes of five independent disciplines, 1) Structures 2) Water resources 3) Soil Mechanics 4) Transportation and 5) Environmental engineering. Instead of compartmentalizing, IIT Patna is adopting an integrate approach to forge all these areas into a multi-disciplinary and application oriented course of Civil and Infrastructural Engineering at B.Tech. level. The DCEE is going to offer a 4-years B.Tech. degree program from the academic year 2013-14. In future the postgraduate course will also be developed in the same line. The DCEE also offers Ph.D. program in several specialization (especially in Structural, Geotechnical and Environmental engineering). Department is actively involved in basic and applied research and consultancy and provides high quality technical advisory support through various R & D projects and consultancy to various organizations.
