Preface

The "1st International Conference on Civil Engineering for Sustainable
Development-Opportunities and Challenges" is being organised by the Civil
Engineering Department, Assam Engineering College from 19th December to 21st
December, 2016. This conference is organised to commemorate 60 years of glorious
existence of the Civil Engineering Department of the college. The Assam Engineering
College started as the Assam Civil Engineering College in the year 1955. This was
the first engineering college in the entire North East India to impart technical education
for bachelor degree in Engineering. Later in the year 1957 with the opening of two
new departments viz. Mechanical Engg. and Electrical Engineering, the College
was renamed as Assam Engineering College. Civil Engineering Department, the
oldest department of the College, focuses mainly on student centric programs and
it has evolved into a higher learning centre with masters programme and Ph.D.
programme. The first masters course in Engineering in the entire North Eastern
region started in this premier institute in 1971 on Watershed Manage and Flood
Control. With the help of a substantial financial assistance received from the Ministry
of Human resource Development, Government of India, the laboratories of the
department were modernised and upgraded. This resulted in getting a second PG
course on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering in 1988. A total of 20 students
till date have obtained their Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from Assam Engineering
college.
The Department has also carried out many projects funded by the Ministry of
Human Resource Development (MHRD), Department of Science and Technology
(DST) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). The Civil Engineering
Department has also been carrying out various consultancy projects sponsored by
different agencies and the department is actively engaged in Research and
Development (R & D) projects.
From its humble beginning as a department imparting only the bachelors degree,
the Civil Engineering Department has completed 60 glorious year of its academic
life of quality and excellence dedicated to the cause of education. Time has come
for formal commemoration and introspection of the department standing for the
last 60 years. A conference highlighting sustainable development is thought to be an
important aspect of celebration. This conference is thus organised to commemorate
the 60 years of successful journey of the department.
The aim of this conference is to bring to light a very relevant topic which is
sustainable development. At the Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September
2015, UN Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,
which includes a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty,
fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030. This conference
will provide a platform to technocrats to champion the effort towards building
capacity for sustainable development. Engineering for Sustainable Development
will not happen of its own volition - it needs action by everyone involved in engineering
education. Academia has a responsibility to bring up world graduates and qualified
engineers who understand sustainable development and can deliver significantly
more-sustainable solutions for society.
With sustainable development as the main goal, this conference will cover five
major themes as sustainable infrastructure development, sustainable urban
development, sustainable rural development, sustainable development by disaster
risk management, sustainable development of water system.
This international conference will bring under one roof the specialists from the
academia, industry, government and non-government organisations. The conference
aims at congregation of policy makers, stakeholders, engineers, architects and
planners to brain-storm on various issues to strengthen the internationally mandated
approach for sustainable development and discuss the roles of civil engineers in
various interdisciplinary core areas of sustainable development.
