Course Objective:
This course is designed to apply the acquired knowledge in the real engineering fields
and to enhance the students’ confidence to work as professional.

Course content:
Under the supervision and guidance of member/members of faculty each student is
required to carry out an individual or group project which provides opportunities for
tackling problem to Civil Engineering and is required to submit a project report.

The choice of project will depend upon the interests of the student (s), faculty and the
facilities available in the campus.

A project may involve:

a) An experimental investigation,
b) Preparation of Dissertation involving a literature survey and a correlation of
existing knowledge,
c) Preparation of a design for an extensive Civil Engineering project

Note:

The project will be conducted under the guidance of the member/members of faculty as
they fit beneficial to the students. In the initial phase the faculty may conduct a number of
lectures and discussions as to the approach of the project. In the later phase the student
will be left on his own to pursue his work and to consult the faculty whenever any
problem crops up. He should them submit a draft report prior to the final report so the
guide can correct gross mistake. The final report should be submitted to the department
Head in duplicate. The final report should be defended with presentation by the students.

Objectives:
The main objective of the course "Transport Planning and Engineering" is to impart
knowledge about transport planning process. Furthermore, the course includes the new
topics which are not included in the regular course of Transportation Engineering I & II. These
topics are Airport Engineering and Railway Engineering. Transport planning as an issue of
high importance for the developing country, it should be followed by the future transport demand
analysis. Key topics of the course attempt to impart knowledge in the following contemporary
concepts:
 Conceptual knowledge in transportation system;
 Issues, relative importance and methods of Transport Planning;
 Introductory knowledge on Airport Engineering, Railway Engineering and
Ropeways;
This course may be good platform for the Graduate (Masters' degree) course
