As per the engineering experts, at the end of 2023, in India and other countries the construction industry will become the largest employer. In India more than 75 million employees have become professional. However it will need to have good skilled engineers. Infrastructure for any industry or any building always plays a vital role in the development of any country. In 2018, India’s GDP was 6.5%, and in the current scenario GDP is 7% up to 31 st March therefore, there is a giant obligation for expert wizard engineer to preserve the growth rate of GDP in India.
As we know fabrication is an arbitrage assiduity, so its benefaction in the increment of GDP is uncertain due to the change over the senility. Various senility around of 1 million B.Tech degrees are awarded in engineering, while there is a need of 3.8 million B.Tech civil engineers every year! According to the census, there is vast latitude of civil engineering in India for planning and designing of infrastructures.
❖ Career claim for civil engineers
A B.Tech in Civil engineer can opt for any of these career options –
1) Environmental Engineering- Environmental engineers study the effect of technological advances on the water purification and its distribution.
2) Geotechnical Engineering- Geotechnical engineers are involved in all stages of soil investigations and its testing’s.
3) Construction Technology engineering- A construction engineer is a type of civil engineer who designs, plans and oversees projects with the construction industry.
4) Geo-informatics engineering- Ground-based platforms are also used for remote-sensing. A geo-informatics engineer is involved in developing the satellites and sensors used for the real-time measurement, imaging processing and analysis of any landmark on above or beneath the surface of earth.
5) Building Technology and Construction Management (BTCM)- The BTCM division functions as a centre of teaching, learning, and research in Building diversity, Concrete Technology, and Construction Management.
6) Geo-environmental Engineering- Geo-environmental Engineering is an evolving field of study, which involves diverse fields as geotechnical, environmental and chemical engineering, geology, hydrogeology, chemistry, microbiology and soil sciences, dealing with pollutants in the environment, protecting ecological and human health at present scenario.
7) Structural Engineering- Structural Engineers create sketch and provisos, perform calculations, and check the work of all other junior engineers.
8) Transportation Engineering- Transportation engineers plan, design, and build highway terminals systems and infrastructures such as roadways, railways, bridges, streets, and tunnels.
9) Water Resources Engineering- Water resources engineers grow and hang plans for developing the water distributing systems in the society that provide clean, safe water in an efficient way to the human being and all other species. That is also good for the earth and other planet. Water resource engineer play a crucial role in civil engineering and commercial construction projects that assume water distribution.
Job opportunities
Civil engineering graduates and diploma holders can do jobs in the various fields as per their choice and skills. The students can opt for architect companies and many other industries, especially in the other countries. Few of the options are:-
➢ Aviation
➢ Bridges and Tunnels
➢ Mining
➢ Flood Barriers
➢ Fire Stations
➢ Harbours and Ports
➢ Railways
➢ Tunnels
➢ Airports
After completing their B.Tech degree students inculcate many skills. These skills enhance the efficiency of the students in the jobs undertaken by them. Here is a list of skills every student learns in their B.Tech course :-
➢ Mathematical Skills
➢ Soil Investigation
➢ Building Material Tests
➢ Surveying Instruments Usage
➢ Construction Standard Codes
➢ Bar Bending Schedule
➢ Design and Drawing
➢ Bills and Budget Estimation
➢ Field Management
➢ Quality Control
Scope of civil engineering depends on the innovation the youth can bring in to this field. As a country, world is developing abnormally faster than ever when it comes to the groundwork. Twenty years ago the return journey between Bandra and Worli could have been completed in less than 50 minutes. Today, we can cover this distance in just ten minutes. This is only possible due to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL) constructed in the Arabian sea; built by our skilled civil engineers. The Bandra-Worli Sea Link is an example of how we will connect or meet with the demand of the future. Highway engineering is the most important and disciplinary branch of civil engineering, which deals with the study of planning, designing, construction and maintenance of traffic roads and regulations of traffic laws. Highway engineering also deals with the construction and the maintenance of the bridges and tunnels.
International market value
The subsequent of Civil Engineering is not just limited to the India’s boundaries but civil engineering plays a vital and vast role all over the world because the demand of construction of different type of roads and buildings is increasing day by day. The Civil Engineering industry is close to the size of USD 16 trillion up to 2035. One of the most important reasons in the demand of civil engineering is population forecasting and its increment day by day.
By completing B.tech from IIMT University, Meerut known as one of the best engineering institutes in Meerut, U.P., students can work on viable base key, green buildings, and more all over the world. Diversity in civil engineering at present scenario is not just related to constructing of any types buildings and roads. By the need of the public demand and industrial sector this specific branch of engineering will also be divided in the sub-branches. Civil engineering students can lead their career in any one of the following-
➢ Hydraulic
➢ Coastal and ocean
➢ Structural
➢ Materials
➢ Urban
➢ Tunnelling
➢ Airport and aircraft
