This is a basic engineering subject. The purpose of the subject is to impart
basic knowledge and skill regarding properties of materials, concept of stresses and
strains, bending moment and shear force diagrams, second moment of area, bending
and shear stresses, slope and deflection and analysis of trusses. The above
knowledge will be useful for designing simple structural components. This subject is
very important to develop basic concepts and principles related to structural
mechanics. This subject will also enable the students to continue their further
education.

OBJECTIVES:

On completion of the course, the student will be familiar with:

 The mechanical properties of engineering materials, elastic constants, different

types of stresses and strains, the deformation of elastic bodies under simple
stresses, the use and principles of composite sections;
 The effects of transverse forces such as shear force and bending moment in
beams; determination of SF and BM in simple beams under different loading
systems;
 The geometrical properties such as centroid, moment of inertia etc of sections
of different shapes;
 Determination of different types of stresses induced in beams and shafts due to
bending and twisting moments respectively

Civil Engineering diploma engineers are required to supervise the construction

of roads and pavements, dams, embankments, and other Civil Engineering structures.
As such the knowledge of basic soil engineering is the pre-requisite for these
engineers for effective discharge of their duties. This necessitates the introduction of
Soil Engineering subject in the curriculum for Diploma Course in Civil Engineering.
The subject covers only such topics as will enable the diploma engineers to identify
and classify the different types of soils, their selection and proper use in the field for
various types of engineering structures. The emphasis will be more on teaching
practical aspect rather than theory.

OBJECTIVES:

On completion of the course, the student will be familiar with:

 To study the Properties of Soil , Classification and Strength of soils

 To describe about the Sub-soil Sampling
 To study about the Seepage analysis , Bearing Capacity of soil and

RATIONALE
The present scenario unfolds a series of challenges that require a
mastery of life skill. To confront with the challenges in the changing job environment
and also to keep up with the rapid pace of modern life, life skills are to be honed and
nurtured. Apart from the good understanding of the subject, the ability to communicate
what one has in mind alone can take a student to greater heights. In an attempt to
develop the communication skill, thereby, making them employable, the syllabus has
been devised and titled as ―Life and Employability Skills‖. At the end of the course, the
students become viable in the job market and with the aid of the life skill they have
acquired they can maintain their poise and mental equilibrium even in a stressful work
environment.

RATIONALE:

This is an applied engineering subject. The subject aims at imparting basic

knowledge about construction planning and management, site organisation,
construction labour, control of work progress, inspection and quality control, accidents
and safety and heavy construction equipment.
A good percentage of diploma engineers start working as small contractors.
They require the knowledge of contractorship, tendering and preparation of
specifications for various types of jobs. Also diploma holders adopt valuers as their
profession. To promote entrepreneurship amongst these engineers, knowledge and
associated skills in above field becomes essential. Hence this subject is of great
importance to diploma engineers.

OBJECTIVES:

On completion of the course, the student will be able to:

 Describe the Role of government and construction agencies in the field of

housing
 Describe the organization set up of PWD
 Mention the construction activity and fixing the construction agency.
 Describe the aspects of inspection and quality control methods
 Describe the banking system.
 Carryout the Feasibility study of a project
 Understands the process of Planning for civil engineering projects.
 Explain the significance of CPM and PERT Techniques.
 Understand the types of contract system
