DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING
About the Department
Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams and buildings. It is the oldest engineering discipline popularly known as father of engineering
The department of civil engineering has been in existence since the inception of Sankar polytechnic college in 1958 and has grown into full fledged department in all the major areas of civil engineering
Department Vision
“HAVE A VISION, IT IS THE ABLITY TO SEE THE INVISIBLE
IF YOU CAN SEE THE INVISIBLE, YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE “
To impart quality education to up bring technical manpower in the field of civil engineering with the capabilities to take challenges of upcoming technologies
Department Mission
- To offer Diploma programmes in civil engineering and skill development that add valve to student competencies
- To promote quality education for field, industrial and social needs
- To encourage students to pursue higher education and career enhancing courses
- To inculcate moral and ethical values
When an individual accepts a teaching appointment he or she also accepts responsibilities and obligations as a professional educator.

Total faculty members nine in which one Head of department, five lecturers and three lab assistants.
Laboratories
The department is well equipped with required equipments and constantly upgraded in accordance with latest syllabus.
The major laboratories in the department are
Surveying Lab
Our surveying lab offers supplemental experience in fundamental land surveying measurement methods for surveying courses, including precision steel taping methods to perform horizontal measurements, traditional transits and digital theodolites to perform angular measurements, and traditional and automatic levels for elevation measurements.
In addition, students have opportunity to use total station equipment, which enables horizontal, vertical, and angular measurements to be made in one operation.
Special equipments:
- Total Station
- Global Positioning System (GPS) for performing differential GPS survey
Material Lab
This lab introduces the concepts, techniques, and devices used to measure engineering properties of materials. There is an emphasis on measurement of load-deformation characteristics and failure modes of both natural and fabricated materials
Special equipments:
- UTM (Universal Testing Machine)
- Hardness Testing Machine
Computer Lab
Computers play a very vital role in present day life, more so, in all the professional life of engineering. In order to enable the students use the computers effectively in drafting, this lab offers Computer Aided Drafting of various drawings in civil engineering.
Objectives:
- To know about CAD commands
- To understand building components
- To draw building drawing using CAD software
- To prepare approval drawing for submission to authority
