Message from The HOD

Dear Students, Faculty Members, Alumni, and Well-wishers,

Greetings from the Department of Civil Engineering at Sankalchand Patel College of Engineering!

It gives me great pleasure to share that our department continues to uphold its tradition of academic excellence, professional integrity, and commitment to nation-building. As one of the core branches of engineering, Civil Engineering plays a pivotal role in the development of infrastructure and the sustainable growth of society.

At our department, we aim to equip students with strong fundamentals, practical skills, and innovative thinking through a blend of rigorous academic programs, state-of-the-art laboratories, industrial collaborations, and hands-on training. We also encourage students to actively engage in research, consultancy projects, technical activities, and community service.

Our dedicated and experienced faculty members constantly strive to bridge the gap between theory and practice while guiding students toward both academic and professional success. We take pride in our alumni who have carved successful careers in government, industry, academia, and entrepreneurship.

As we embrace the future, we continue to align ourselves with national missions like Smart Cities, Sustainable Infrastructure, and Viksit Bharat @2047, contributing meaningfully through teaching, innovation, and outreach.

We welcome aspiring civil engineers to be part of our dynamic department and contribute to shaping a better tomorrow.
