In India, population explodes before even a plan is conceived. Population explosion coupled with urbanization, industrialization and economic growth have resulted in overstressing and deterioration of nation’s public infrastructures including building, roads, bridges, water and power distribution systems, storm and sanitary sewers, waste management, etc. The problem is exacerbating in urban areas due to mushrooming of unplanned infrastructure development. Deterioration of public infrastructure ultimately impacts consumers as well as business due to increase in costs. Moreover, there should be proper interlink between technological demand and societal needs while attempting challenges in infrastructure sector. Keeping in mind the infrastructure requirements for improved quality of life in a growing society as well as for industry and economic development, the need of the hour is to amalgamate traditional Civil Engineering with Infrastructure Engineering and Management with interdisciplinary approach. The multi-dimensional approach is perceived to close the socio-techno-economical loop by assessing the infrastructure needs accurately, proper decision-making in allocating resources, relating technological supply to socio-economic needs and most importantly, keeping a balance between economic development and environmental impact.

In order to satisfy the current societal needs and growing industry demands, the B.Tech in Civil and Infrastructure Engineering program under the aegis of Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Patna intends to be the forefront of imparting engineering education by amalgamating traditional Civil Engineering with modern Infrastructure Engineering. The program aims to emphasize application oriented and project-based learning. A strategic approach and motives behind the development of such a curriculum are outlined as follows:

Vision: In order to steer the growth of modern India in a planned manner, the curriculum of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering intends to be recognized for inspiring and developing future leaders who solve society’s infrastructure challenges.

Mission: To develop a brigade of young graduates capable of planning, developing, maintaining and managing public infrastructures for transformation of society through the provision of world class teaching, research and training engagements in interdisciplinary learning environment.

Objectives:To develop an undergraduate curriculum in Civil and Infrastructure Engineering that will emphasize on following aspects:

Goals:The goals are to:

The features of the curriculum are as follows:
