Design and Drawing of Reinforced Concrete Structures
takes RCC theory into practice, teaching students to size and detail beams, columns, footings and slabs using limit state design.
- Unit 1: Working stress and limit state design philosophies, and the statistical basis of characteristic loads and strengths
- Unit 2: Flexural design of singly and doubly reinforced sections and flanged (T) beams
- Unit 3: Design for shear, torsion and bond, plus serviceability checks for deflection and cracking
- Unit 4: Design of compression members and different types of isolated footings
- Unit 5: Design of one-way, two-way and continuous slabs, including waist-slab staircases
Engineering Hydrology
studies the water cycle quantitatively, showing how rainfall becomes runoff and how that runoff is measured, modelled and routed for water resources design.
- Unit 1: Precipitation measurement, IDF and DAD curves, and design storm concepts
- Unit 2: Evaporation, evapotranspiration and infiltration estimation
- Unit 3: Runoff estimation and unit hydrograph derivation and application
- Unit 4: Flood frequency analysis (Gumbel’s, Log-Pearson III) and flood routing methods
- Unit 5: Groundwater occurrence, aquifer parameters and well hydraulics
Geotechnical Engineering-I
introduces soil as an engineering material: its classification, how water moves through it, and how it compresses and shears under load.
- Unit 1: Soil formation, index properties and classification systems
- Unit 2: Soil moisture, capillarity and permeability, including Darcy’s law
- Unit 3: Flow nets, seepage analysis and stress distribution theories (Boussinesq’s, Westergaard’s)
- Unit 4: Compaction behaviour and Terzaghi’s one-dimensional consolidation theory
- Unit 5: Shear strength of soils via Mohr-Coulomb theory and drained/undrained behaviour
Advanced Structural Analysis
(Professional Elective-I) — extends structural analysis to arches, cables, suspension bridges and approximate multi-storey frame methods.
- Unit 1: Energy theorems, indeterminate truss analysis and Castigliano’s second theorem
- Unit 2: Three-hinged and two-hinged arch analysis, including temperature effects
- Unit 3: Approximate methods for building frames — portal, cantilever and substitute frame methods
- Unit 4: Cable structures and suspension bridge analysis
- Unit 5: Moment distribution, slope-deflection and Kani’s methods for frames with sway
Architecture and Town Planning
(Professional Elective-I) — surveys architectural history and planning principles so structural engineers understand the design language they build within.
- Unit 1: Western and Indian architectural history, from Egyptian and Greek orders to Buddhist and Hindu temple styles
- Unit 2: Principles of residential planning and the contribution of notable modern architects
- Unit 3: Historical development of town planning, from ancient Indian to world cities
- Unit 4: Modern town planning — zoning, roads, housing and neighbourhood planning standards
- Unit 5: Landscaping and horizontal/vertical expansion of towns
Construction Technology and Management
(offered as both Professional Elective-I and Open Elective-I) — covers the planning, equipment and management techniques that turn a design into a completed construction project.
- Unit 1: Construction project management fundamentals — planning, scheduling and the critical path method
- Unit 2: Project evaluation and review technique (PERT), cost/resource crashing, and software tools like PRIMAVERA
- Unit 3: Earthmoving, hoisting and compaction equipment selection and productivity
- Unit 4: Concreting equipment — mixers, batching plants and placement techniques
- Unit 5: Construction methods for earthwork, piling and formwork, plus quality, safety and BIM
Green Buildings
(Open Elective-I) — introduces sustainable building design: the materials, systems and rating frameworks that reduce a building’s environmental footprint.
- Unit 1: Green building fundamentals, benefits and key material/equipment requirements
- Unit 2: Indian Green Building Council practices and the LEED India rating system
- Unit 3: Green building design strategies to reduce energy demand and use renewable sources
- Unit 4: HVAC system design and energy-efficient building interventions
- Unit 5: Material conservation, recycled content and indoor environment quality
Climate Change Impact on Eco-System
(Open Elective-I) — looks at how the climate system works so engineers can reason about the changing loads — floods, heat, drought — their infrastructure must withstand.
- Unit 1: Earth’s climate system, atmospheric structure and radiation balance
- Unit 2: The global hydrologic cycle and water balance modelling
- Unit 3: Precipitation-related climate variables, monsoon patterns and evapotranspiration
- Unit 4: Climate variability — floods, droughts and heat waves
- Unit 5: Climate change causes and modelling, including global circulation models and IPCC scenarios
Note on Entrepreneurship Development & Venture Creation: the course structure lists this as an alternative to Open Elective-I, but the syllabus document does not contain a unit-wise syllabus for it anywhere in its 200 pages — flagging this honestly rather than inventing content.
Geotechnical Engineering Lab
hands-on determination of the soil index and strength properties used throughout geotechnical design.
- Index property tests: specific gravity, Atterberg limits, field density and grain size analysis
- Engineering property tests: permeability, compaction, consolidation, direct shear, triaxial and unconfined compression tests
- Field demonstration tests: plate load test and CBR test
Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines Lab
verifies core fluid mechanics principles experimentally using flow-measuring devices and pipe networks.
- Verification of Bernoulli’s equation and calibration of venturimeters, orifice meters and notches
- Discharge coefficient determination for orifices and mouthpieces
- Friction factor and minor loss (bend, expansion, contraction) determination in pipelines
Estimation, Specifications and Contracts
teaches how to turn a building design into a priced, contractable bill of quantities.
- Unit 1: Contract types, documents and standard construction specifications
- Unit 2: Quantity-estimation principles for building elements and approximate estimating methods
- Unit 3: Rate analysis for construction items, earthwork and reinforcement bar-bending schedules
- Unit 4: Detailed estimation using the individual wall method for single/double/four-roomed buildings
- Unit 5: Detailed estimation using the centre-line method and estimating software
Tinkering Lab
a hands-on innovation lab where students build simple circuits, sensors and 3D-printed prototypes to bridge theory and real-world experimentation.
- Basic electronics builds: parallel/series circuits, traffic-light circuits and LDR-based automatic street lighting
- Microcontroller exercises with Arduino and ESP32, including LED control, sensor interfacing and mobile app control
- 3D design/printing projects and applied design-thinking exercises such as redesigning a motorbike
Evaluation of Community Service Internship
a credit-bearing internship-evaluation entry in the course structure; the document contains no unit-wise syllabus for it, since it is assessed through fieldwork rather than lectures. Noting this honestly.
Minor Course and Honors Course slots
the III-I structure also reserves credit for a Minor Course (selectable from a pool that includes subjects like Surveying, Mechanics of Solids, Soil Mechanics and Estimation and Costing, in person or via a SWAYAM/NPTEL MOOC) and two Honors Courses (from a ten-subject pool such as Structural Dynamics, Advanced Hydrology and Soil Dynamics). These rows are open elective pools rather than single fixed subjects, so no one unit-wise syllabus applies to the row itself — each pool subject carries its own separate syllabus that a student would need to pick individually. Flagging this honestly rather than treating it as a single named course.
