The department is supported by teaching staff of varied experience and specialization.Our Faculties are life members of various professional bodies such as ‘Indian Concrete Institute’ (ICI), The Institution of Engineers (India) (IE), Indian Geotechnical Society (IGS), Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE), The Institution of Valuers (IOV), International Society for Research and Development (ISRD), International Association of Engineers (IAENG), Indian Academicians and Researchers Association (IARA) etc.,. The department functions with the dual inputs of industry and reputed academic bodies in the state.
The department actively promotes curriculum development activity by updating existing courses, developing new courses and preparing resource material for teaching.The department is also very active in conducting conferences, workshops, seminars, short term training programmes and visits to industries, construction sites and environmental field. Visits are arranged regularly to impart technical education to the students more effectively. Wi-Fi enabled internet facilities are available in the department. Students are motivated to do mini projects to improve their practical knowledge. Students are encouraged to undergo internship under fast track scheme to improve their placement prospects. Soft skill training programmes offered by Karpagam College of Engineering, placement cell and various companies are arranged to enhance their communication and general aptitude skills.
A department higher education cell is effectively functioning to identify the students who are seeking PG admissions and provide proper guidance to crack GATE and TANCET examinations.
