Right from the establishment of SVIT the Civil Engineering department came into existence since 1997 with an intake of 60. Subsequently master course was started in the field of Structural Engineering in 2011 with an intake of 18. The department is well equipped with the state-of-art laboratories and highly qualified faculties. Majority of them possess doctorate degree from reputed institutes like IITs, NITs etc. The department is also an authorised schedule-I Auditor for Environmental Audit by Gujarat Pollution Control Board. This discipline scales the newer heights every year because of its qualified and eminent faculty members and skilled supporting staff. By organizing various extra and co-curricular events, department has contributed to generation of technologically skilled human force in the national integrity. Numbers of research publications are observed in diversified domains by our eminent faculty members. The department is well known across their excellent performance across the country.

To be recognized as a premier center in the field of civil engineering education by providing quality education with professional ethics and opportunities for holistic development.

• To improve the quality of teaching-learning processes continually
• To provide a conducive environment that encourages faculty to pursue higher education and research; and thereby to enhance the quality of education.
• To develop linkage between industry and academia for promoting project execution, internship and knowledge sharing.
• To develop the all-round personality of the students through co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.

1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineeringfundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex Civil engineering problems.
2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complexCivil engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex Civil engineering problems anddesign system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: : Use engineering knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
5. Modern tool usage:Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modernengineering and computational tools for modeling to Civil engineering problems with an understanding of the limitations.
6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
7. Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
