To impart basic knowledge of Engineering Mechanics where in Laws of Physics are applied to solve engineering problems, this program/course will help the student to develop basic know how & awareness of the various laws of physics & its real life applications in the various fields of engineering.
To select any material of construction, the first and foremost necessity is to know its properties, suitability, strength and durability. Based on this, one can suggest the most suitable material which may fit the exact requirement of the construction items.
Soil has varying properties and characteristics and is subjected to various stresses and problems like the water logging, liquefaction of soil, seepage through soil and settlement of soil. Students have to study these phenomena of soil and will have to apply this knowledge to construction of structures according to the soil available on the field.

Analysis of indeterminate structures under action of transverse loading, along with, analysis of members under direct loading is to be studied. Analysis of strained matter under the effect of principal stresses & strains is also incorporated to give an idea of compound stresses to the students.
Various construction aspects of road, railway and Bridge have been included. Special emphasis has been given on the testing and uses of various types of materials used in road, railway and bridges.
To learn the basic principles and techniques of surveying by using chain surveying, compass surveying, leveling, plane table surveying and GPS. And how to operate and handle various advanced survey instruments like Theodolite, Digital Theodolite, Tacheometer, Total Station, EDM Instruments, etc. should be known. In this course these kinds of performance oriented abilities will be developed which are expected from a civil engineering technician.
Quality and characteristics of water and waste water is included. Students have to study and perform test on various characteristics of water and waste water.
