9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
11. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
12. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

PSO1:Proficiency in Core subjects The graduates of this program will be able to demonstrate proficiency in the core areas of Structural, Geotechnical and Water Resource Engineering.

PSO2:Professional Proficiency The graduates will be able to design and implement alternate Civil Engineering solutions to the real-world problems.

It is the educational approach of using group activities to enhance learning through working together. Groups of three or more learners work together to solve problems, complete tasks, or learn new concepts. This approach makes students actively engages towards learning process and synthesize information and concepts.

 An instructional method through which students are shown proper techniques, equipment, or information about processes and procedures of real-world system (Its process /parts of whole system) are demonstrated using tools

 In this method students are approached with videos related to the concept which enhances the level of learning for the students, through this the concept can be presented as videos, images, diagrams, illustrations, or robust interactive activities with multiple components.

 Virtual Labs are simulated learning environments that allow students to complete laboratory experiments online and explore concepts and theories without stepping into a physical science lab.  With this approach students is facilitate to operate labs anytime anywhere education during their preparation for lab sessions or clarifying the doubts after labs sessions.

 The Google classroom is an innovative tool which is very effectively used in our campus for few courses. Faculty members add all students to it before commencement of every semester for every course. They also upload course plans, eBooks, course materials, video lectures, question banks etc. It helps the students to come prepared to the class. The tools in the Google class room facilitate online assessment of students, which can be used to measure the outcomes of each course.

 The students are using E-sources such as NPTEL and SWAYAM courses for effective teaching and learning respectively These not only strengthen the teaching-learning process for the students, but also generate academic discipline, scientific, attitude, innovativeness and inculcate self-learning. The following tables show the NPTEL courses successfully completed by our students.

Value added course is the short term training course which enhances the proficiency in core knowledge collaboration with the current industrial requirements coped up with the curriculum for the knowledge enhancement of the internal stakeholder.

 Construction site visits are the most powerful learning aid in the civil Engineering to explain the concept practically.Industrial visits to Research laboratories, Green Building Centres, working construction Site etc, help to explore an opportunity and allow the students to make real-life decisions and to become lifelong learners.

At the end of III-year II semester the students are encouraged to carry out internship in reputed industries/companies to get practical exposure from industries. It helps the students to bridge the gap between the subject studies and industrial need. This internship also helps students develop ideas for real time projects. The department encourages all students to avail internships with core industries the following table shows the sample statistics on internships availed by students for AY 2022-23.

 As a Part of Curriculum students undergo with major projects within a group of 3-4 students and they identify the project area / title; obtain the consent of faculty/industry professionals to guide them. Finally, the projects Will be evaluated by the internal and external faculty members.

 The Department organizes conferences/workshops/seminars/expert lectures every year to enrich the knowledge of students. This provides a platform for both the faculty and students to share their knowledge and to hold discussions with eminent speakers from both academia and industry and also with their peers. These Events help the students to acquire different soft skills. Apart from the workshops, Technical Talks and symposiums students are exposed to major Technical events and involved in organization of such event. Recently department of Civil Engineering organized 2-Day International conference on Advancements in Construction Materials (ICACM 2023), where faculty and students were  involved in several phases of planning and organizing and hosting  several national and international delegates. A brief report about the conference is presented below.INDO-AFRICAN Conference Series A Two-Day International Conference on Advancements in Construction Materials (ICACM 2023) Department of Civil Engineering, has Organized INDO-AFRICAN Conference Series A Two-Day International Conference on Advancements in Construction Materials (ICACM2023) was held in the VJIT, Hyderabad on 28th & 29th ,April2023 on Hybrid Mode, in Association with Copperbelt University (University in Kitwe, Zambia), Mattu University (Metu, Ethiopia),Indian Concrete Institute, ASCE (Indian Section Southern Region).The conference was inaugurated by Dr. E. Saibaba Reddy, Director and Dr. A. Padmaja principal of Vjit, Dr.Pallavi Badry, HOD, CE, Chief Guest Dr. Brett Phillips, ASCE member communities committee chair, ASCE MCC Global members Taskforce, Australia, Guest of honor Dr. V. Sundar, professor Emeritus, dept of Ocean Engineering, IIT madras, and Mr. Poloju Narsimha Chary, ASCE India Section Southern Region Past President. The conference was very interactive and has offered good platform to deliver  the latest Technologies in Construction Materials to the Researchers, Academicians & Industry professionals to interact among each other for future growth in each domain.
