RATIONALE
Students’ Project Work aims at developing innovative skills in the students whereby they apply the knowledge
and skills gained through the course covered in many subjects and Labs, by undertaking a project. The prime
emphasis of the project work is to understand and apply the basic knowledge of the principles of civil engineering
practices in real life situations, so as to participate and manage a large civil engineering projects in future.
Entire Project shall spread over 7th and 8th Semester. Part of the Project covered in 7th Semester shall be named
as Project Phase-I and balance portion to be covered in 8th Semester shall be named as Project Phase-II.

OBJECTIVES

After undergoing the Project Work, the student will be able to:

 Implement the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills gained through various
subjects/courses into an application suitable for a real practical working environment, preferably
in an industrial environment.
 Develop civil engineering knowledge and applications in implementing these for the actual needs
of the community/industry.
 Explain the working of industrial environment and its work ethics.
 Explain what entrepreneurship is and how to become an entrepreneur.
 Identify and contrast gap between the technological knowledge acquired through curriculum and
the actual industrial need and to compensate it by acquiring additional knowledge as required.
 Carry out cooperative learning through synchronous guided discussions within the class in key
areas, asynchronous document sharing and discussions, as well as prepare collaborative edition
of the final project report.
 Field computing and to achieve real life experience in civil engineering planning, designing and
execution.
 To develop the skill of writing Project Report

General Guidelines
 The individual students have different aptitudes and strengths. Project work, therefore, should match
the strengths of students. For this purpose, students should be asked to identify the type of project
work, they would like to execute. The activity of problem identification should begin well in advance
(right from beginning of 7th semester). Students should be allotted a problem of interest to him/her as a
project work. It is also essential that the faculty of the respective department may have a
brainstorming session to identify suitable project assignments for their students. The project
assignment can be individual assignment or a group assignment. There should not be more than 5
students if the project work is given to a group. The project work identified in collaboration with industry
should be preferred.

Following are the broad suggestive areas of project work

 Qualitative analysis of any one or more of the civil engineering materials by addition or alteration of one or
more constituents to assess their suitability as construction materials.

 Characterization of one or more locally available/recently developed civil engineering materials

 Experimental investigation of behavior of structural elements.

 Preparation of innovative structural models by use of materials having close resemblance to real life
structures.

 Qualitative and/or Quantitative analysis of Physio-chemical characteristics of water form one or more
sources of water.

 Analysis, design and/or estimation of civil engineering structures. Use of software for execution of projects
may be encouraged.

 Planning, testing and execution of construction project.

 Soil properties enhancement using different available materials.

 Development of Waste disposal system including e-waste.

 Application of different surveying techniques for solving real world problem.

 Traffic volume studies and congestion solution.

 Any other related area found worth.

A suggestive criterion for assessing student performance by the external (preferably person from industry) and
