Research
The school is actively involved in academic/sponsored research and industrial consultancy work. Various research projects are being carried out in each of the micro specializations of Civil Engineering. The projects that are being conducted at present, comprehend both the experimental as well as simulation oriented research works. These research projects are being funded by various Govt. Organizations as well as Industries such as DST, CSIR, NALCO Bhubaneswar, etc. Both fundamental and application oriented research projects have been undertaken by the faculty members of the School. In this connection, it is worth mentioning that relentless efforts are being made by the faculty members of the School to bring the projects to face and solve the recent challenges of our modern society. These projects not only solve the present challenges but also create human resources in the form of JRF, SRF and research scholars in the field of Civil Engineering.
