Course Aim: To impart skills and knowledge acquired in Engineering Surveying for a practical engineering problem at an appropriate location and to expose the students to the real-world civil engineering applications.
Intended Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of the course, the students should be able to; ➢ plan a complete engineering survey for a civil engineering project and apply appropriate surveying techniques to gather necessary land measurements and information. ➢ process field survey data to prepare maps and plans and conduct setting out of intended engineering structures. ➢ demonstrate different types of structures and field techniques used in irrigation and environmental engineering. ➢ discuss different geological features and rock types, and explain their importance in civil engineering applications. ➢ select appropriate construction equipment to perform different civil engineering tasks and explain their basic operational and management principles. |
