ABOUT THE

COLLEGE
R.M.K. Engineering College (RMKEC), started in the year 1995 has acquired recognition
and public acknowledgement as one of the top ranking institutions in Tamil Nadu State. In 2008, the
College was conferred Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan National Award for its Overall Performance, followed by
the Best Principal Award in the year 2012, by the Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) New
Delhi. The college has been achieving Academic Excellence for the past 15 years and has always been in
the top 10 positions among all the engineering colleges affiliated to Anna University. RMKEC has also
been maintaining an excellent placement record all these years. The College has been rated as one of
the 20 engineering institutions across India for having the best academia-industry tie-up based on a CII
AICTE Joint Survey. The college has established Centers of Excellence (COE) in various disciplines
like Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Digital Enterprise, Building Management Systems (BMS)
and Embedded Systems to provide industry oriented training and skill building to students in focus areas
as guided by the Advisory Committees consisting of the industry experts in the respective disciplines.
The College has been undertaking a lot of activities as a part of its Corporate (Institutional) Social
Responsibility to provide services to the rural areas in and around the College, in collaboration with the
Rotary Club of Gummidipoondi Industrial City, M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation and reputed
hospitals (for blood donation camps). It has also been trying to sensitize the student community on their
social obligations and the need to exploit engineering and technology for rural empowerment and
development.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Civil Engineering was stared in the academic year 2006-07 with a vision
to impart quality education and to produce professionally competent Civil Engineers accomplishing global
needs with right attitude towards social responsibility with a team of highly qualified faculty with the rich
experience in diversified streams of Civil Engineering. The department has all the necessary laboratories
pertaining to the curriculum of Anna University, Chennai which are fully equipped with state-of-the-art
laboratory facilities and modern equipments for training students of Civil Engineering and other disciplines
for their interdisciplinary experiments and also carryout Ph.D. level research activities. Since its inception
the department is showing consistent growth in academic excellence and placements. The department is
actively involved in consultancy activities like material testing, concrete mix design, soil testing, water
quality testing and surveying using total station. The department also organizes Short term training
programs, Faculty development programs, Workshops, Seminars and Value added training programs
every year as a part of continuing education for enhancement and upgradation of faculty's knowledge. The
department has been awarded Construction Industry Awards 2014 for the Excellence in Civil
Engineering Education and also has received the ICI (Chennai Centre) - Ultra Tech Award 2015 for
Outstanding Student Chapter of Tamil Nadu.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Our world is rapidly changing, presenting new challenges in globalization, local & national
economies and the sustainability of our planet. In this dynamic environment, the public depends on the
expertise and creative thinking of Civil Engineers to design, build, operate and maintain the world's public
infrastructures, sustaining and improving the lives of people everywhere.
The conference aims to create a forum for research scholars, faculty members, students and
practicing engineers to share their knowledge, experiences, innovations and inventions in the field of Civil
Engineering and to promote the social responsibilities of Civil Engineers towards fulfilling the
requirements of the Society.
