Industry Trends in Civil Engineering & Career Prospects

There has been a move within the civil engineering sector to work with nature and the environment, rather than battling it with concrete. Areas like flood defense or natural solutions for habitats are being explored such as, bogs, moors, ditches, leaky dams and grasslands, which can all help ‘slow the flow’ and ultimately, reduce flooding without the need for concrete.

MIT-WPU is one of the few universities incorporating all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals into its Curricula for all 80+ Study programs offered under its umbrella. Students gain hands-on experience and understanding of financial incentives, consumer consciences and an awareness of climate change that are likely to lead to far more engineering jobs related to environmental engineering. Lean manufacturing will become more commonplace – reducing waste and contributing to the ‘green’ ecology.

Industry-Acclaimed Civil Engineering Program

Civil Engineering education has a long tradition at MIT-WPU School of Civil Engineering where engineering education began in 1983. An industry-acclaimed BTech in Civil Engineering is designed such that it takes students through the fine nuances of planning, designing, construction and maintenance along with management of various resources, personnel, administration, finance and construction with a special emphasis on Research. 

The department of civil engineering at MIT-WPU boasts of several industry-funded projects, including that of the Government of India and Erasmus. The total amount of these industry-funded projects is worth more than Rs 3 crores, showcasing a robust industry participation at MIT-WPU. Students can learn Civil Engineering at MIT-WPU coupled with technological advancements. They can choose from electives such as: 

  • AI & ML
