RECENT ADVANCES AND INNOVATIONS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING [RAICE 2022]
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE RAICE is the 6th National Conference conducted
Civil Engineering ( CE )
Overview
Did you know that the construction industry in India is all poised to become the largest employer of the Nation by 2022, with over 72 million employees? Over the next ten years, the country would need approximately 4 million civil engineers on average to cater to the growing real estate and infrastructure demands. But there has been a huge gap between industry expectations and the quality of engineers churned out every year.
With practical training, the Department of Civil Engineering at Velammal Engineering College takes this challenge head-on and has been a pioneer in delivering industry-ready civil engineers since 2007. With NBA and NAAC accreditations as well as ISO certification, the department is now part of an Autonomous institution, affiliated to Anna University. As the world steps up to build sustainable and resilient communities, we know that our engineers would be there to lead the change.
