Managerial Economics and Financial Analysis
introduces the economic and accounting reasoning engineers need to justify, budget and evaluate projects, not just build them.
- Unit 1: Managerial economics fundamentals, demand concepts and demand forecasting
- Unit 2: Production function analysis, cost behaviour and break-even analysis
- Unit 3: Forms of business organization and market structures from perfect competition to oligopoly
- Unit 4: Working capital management and capital budgeting techniques such as payback period, ARR, NPV and IRR
- Unit 5: Financial accounting basics — journals, ledgers and final accounts — plus ratio analysis
Engineering Geology
explains how rocks, minerals and ground conditions shape where and how civil structures can safely be built.
- Unit 1: Geological branches, weathering processes and the geological work of rivers
- Unit 2: Mineralogy and petrology — identifying common rock-forming minerals and igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
- Unit 3: Structural geology — folds, faults, joints and unconformities and their engineering significance
- Unit 4: Groundwater movement, earthquakes, landslides and geophysical exploration methods
- Unit 5: Geological considerations in siting dams, reservoirs and tunnels
Concrete Technology
covers concrete from raw ingredients to hardened structural material, including how mixes are designed and quality controlled.
- Unit 1: Cement chemistry, hydration, admixtures, and aggregate classification and grading
- Unit 2: Fresh-concrete properties — workability, setting time, segregation and bleeding
- Unit 3: Hardened-concrete strength, the water-cement ratio law, and destructive/non-destructive testing
- Unit 4: Elasticity, creep and shrinkage behaviour of concrete
- Unit 5: Mix design methods (ACI and IS code) and special concretes such as fibre-reinforced and self-consolidating concrete
Structural Analysis
builds the toolkit for finding forces and deflections in indeterminate structures using classical energy and displacement methods.
- Unit 1: Strain energy and Castigliano’s first theorem for beams and trusses
- Unit 2: Static and kinematic indeterminacy, and Castigliano’s second theorem for truss analysis
- Unit 3: Fixed- and continuous-beam analysis under varied loading
- Unit 4: The slope-deflection method for continuous beams and portal frames
- Unit 5: The moment distribution method for continuous beams and portal frames
Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machinery
extends fluid mechanics into open-channel flow and the turbines and pumps that convert flowing water into usable energy.
- Unit 1: Laminar and turbulent pipe flow, and boundary layer theory
- Unit 2: Uniform open-channel flow and hydraulically efficient channel sections
- Unit 3: Non-uniform open-channel flow, specific energy and the hydraulic jump
- Unit 4: Impact of jets on vanes, and design of Pelton and Francis turbines
- Unit 5: Centrifugal pump principles, performance curves and cavitation effects
Concrete Technology Lab
puts cement, aggregate and concrete quality tests into students’ hands before they specify materials on a real job.
- Cement tests: consistency, setting time, soundness and compressive strength
- Fine and coarse aggregate tests: grading, specific gravity, water absorption and bulking
- Fresh and hardened concrete tests: workability (slump, compaction factor, Vee-bee), compressive/split tensile strength and non-destructive testing
Engineering Geology Lab
trains students to recognize minerals, rocks and geological structures by sight and from maps rather than only in theory.
- Megascopic identification of common rock-forming and ore-forming minerals
- Identification of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock specimens
- Interpretation of geological maps, strike-and-dip problems and borehole data
Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems
introduces satellite imagery and spatial-data analysis as tools civil engineers use for mapping, planning and monitoring terrain.
- Unit 1: Fundamentals of remote sensing, the electromagnetic spectrum, and sensor platforms
- Unit 2: Digital image data formats, image enhancement and classification techniques
- Unit 3: GIS components, spatial data structures, and raster/vector overlay and network analysis
- Lab component: georeferencing, digitization, thematic mapping and DEM/watershed analysis using QGIS or ArcGIS
Design Thinking and Innovation
a creativity-and-process course aimed at turning problem identification into workable product or system ideas.
- Unit 1: Elements and principles of design, and the history of design thinking
- Unit 2: The design thinking process — empathize, analyze, ideate and prototype
- Unit 3: Distinguishing innovation from creativity, and building innovation-capable teams
- Unit 4: Product design strategy, specifications and case studies
- Unit 5: Applying design thinking to business models, startups and corporate innovation
Building Materials and Construction
surveys the raw materials and construction techniques behind ordinary buildings, from bricks to roofing to finishes.
- Unit 1: Properties and manufacture of stones, bricks and tiles, plus aluminium, gypsum, glass and bituminous materials
- Unit 2: Masonry bonding techniques, timber properties and alternative structural materials
- Unit 3: Lime and cement manufacture, composition and testing
- Unit 4: Building components — lintels, arches, staircases, floors and roof types
- Unit 5: Finishes, damp-proofing, paints, and aggregate classification
Community Service Project Internship
the course structure lists a mandatory 8-week community service project internship during the summer vacation; the syllabus document does not contain a unit-wise syllabus for it, since it is evaluated as fieldwork rather than classroom instruction. Stating this honestly rather than inventing content.
