M Tech Specialisations and Curriculum

M. Tech. Specialisations and Curriculum

Specialisations: Two M. Tech. Courses are offered in the Civil Engineering Department at Walchand College of Engineering (WCE), which include M. Tech. in Civil-Environmental Engineering and M. Tech. in Construction Management.

Tech. in Civil-Environmental Engineering course focuses on advanced environmental engineering studies, its applications in the real world, solutions to real problems related to civil and environmental engineering, advanced techniques used in environmental engineering, etc.
Tech. in Construction Management course focuses on the application of project management principles on actual construction sites, resource management in large-scale construction industries, correlation between the book and actual on-field construction management, real-world applications of construction management, etc.

Curriculum – The M. Tech. curriculum is designed to provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in their chosen specialisation. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive education in civil engineering. Since the batch 2023-2024, the M. Tech. Curricula are also aligned with the NEP 2020 policy.
