SYLLABUS FOR DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL

ENGINEERING
 PREAMBLE
Education plays enormously significant role in building of a nation. There are quite a large number of
educational institutions, engaged in imparting education in our country. Majority of them have entered
recently into semester system to match with international educational pattern. However, our present
education system is churning out youth who have to compete locally, regionally, nationally as well as
globally. The present alarming situation necessitates transformation and/or redesigning of system, not
only by introducing innovations but developing “learner-centric approach.
Majority of Indian higher education institutions have been following the system, which obstructs the
flexibility for the students to study the subjects/courses of their choice and their mobility to different
institutions. There is need to allow the flexibility in education system, so that students depending upon
their interests can choose inter-disciplinary, intra-disciplinary and skill-based courses. This can only be
possible when choice based credit system (CBCS), an internationally acknowledged system, is adopted.
The choice based credit system not only offers opportunities and avenues to learn core subjects but
also explore additional avenues of learning beyond the core subjects for holistic development of an
individual. The CBCS will undoubtedly facilitate benchmarking of our courses with best international
academic practices.
Advantages of the choice based credit system:
• Shift in focus from the teacher-centric to student-centric education.
• Student may undertake as many credits as they can cope with (without repeating all courses in
a given semester if they fail in one/more courses).
• CBCS allows students to choose inter-disciplinary, intra-disciplinary courses, skill oriented
papers (even from other disciplines according to their learning needs, interests and aptitude) and more
flexibility for students.
• CBCS makes education broad-based and at par with global standards. One can take credits by
combining unique combinations.
• CBCS offers flexibility for students to study at different times and at different institutions to
complete one course (ease mobility of students). Credits earned at one institution can be transferred
to another institution.

CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM

The Indian Higher Education Institutions have been moving from the conventional annual system to
semester system. Currently many of the institutions have already introduced the Choice Based Credit
System. The semester system accelerates the teaching-learning process and enables vertical and
horizontal mobility in learning. The credit based semester system provides flexibility in designing
curriculum and assigning credits based on the course content and hours of teaching. The Choice Based
Credit System provides a ‘cafeteria’ type approach in which the students can take courses of their
choice, learn at their own pace, undergo additional courses to acquire more than the required credits
and adopt an interdisciplinary approach to learning.
PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
This scheme and courses are related to four-year Civil Engineering programme with following
Programme Educational Objectives (PEO).
1. Graduates of the program will have successful technical and professional careers in industry,
academia, govt. and entrepreneurship.
2. Graduates of the program will hold strong professional ethics with good team skills and
communication
3. Graduates of the program will engage in lifelong learning to acquire new knowledge in an
evolving technological landscape.

TYPES OF COURSES
1. Courses are the subjects that comprise the Civil Programme.
2. A course may be designed to comprise lectures, tutorials, laboratory work, fieldwork, outreach
activities, project work, vocational training, viva, seminars, term papers, assignments,
presentations, self-study etc. or a combination of some of these components.
3. The learning outcomes of each course will be defined before the start of a semester.
4. Following are the course types:
i. Core Course (CC): This is a course, which is to be compulsorily studied by a student as a core
requirement to complete the requirement of B.Tech. Civil Engineering.
ii. Elective Course: An elective course is a course, which can be chosen from a pool of courses. It is
intended to support the discipline of study by providing an expanded scope, enabling exposure to
another discipline/domain and nurturing a student’s proficiency and skill. An elective may be of
following types:
a) Discipline Specific Elective (DE): It is an elective course that adds proficiency to the
students in the discipline.
b) Generic Elective (GE): It is an elective course taken from other engineering disciplines
and enhances the generic proficiency and interdisciplinary perspective of students.
c) Dissertation/Project/Training/Internship (PTI): An elective course designed to acquire
special/advanced knowledge, such as supplement study/support study to a project work, and a
candidate studies such a course on his own with an advisory support by a teacher/faculty
member is called dissertation/project
d) Humanities, Social Sciences & Management (HSM): It is an elective course taken from
non-engineering disciplines (humanities, social sciences and management) that broadens the
perspective of an engineering student.
e) Basic Science Courses (BSC): It is based upon content that leads to fundamental
knowledge enhancement in sciences, and basic engineering principles.
f) NPTEL (NPT): Online MOOC courses are based on the respective year’s offered courses.

iii. a) Mandatory Courses (MC): It can be taken from among a pool of foundation courses,
which aim at value-based education. They may provide hands-on training to improve competencies
and skills or provide education on human, societal, environmental and national values.
5. Each credit course contributes certain credits to the programme. A course can be offered either
as a full course (4 credits) or as a half course (2 credits). A full course is conducted with 3 hours
of lectures and either 1 hour of tutorial or 2 hours of practical work per week. A half course is
conducted with 2 hours of lectures. There are also some exceptional electives with 3 credits and
1 credit.
Definition of Credit: -
1 Hr. Lecture (L) per week 1 Credit
1 Hr. Tutorial (T) per week 1 Credit
1 Hr. Practical (P) per week 0.5 Credits
Or Or
2 Hr. Practical (Lab)/week 1 Credit

6. A project work/dissertation is considered as a special course involving application of the

knowledge gained during the course of study in exploring, analyzing and solving complex
problems in real life applications. A candidate completes such a course with an advisory support
by a faculty member.
7. Mandatory Courses may be offered. They do not carry credits but aim at expanding knowledge
or bridging deficiency in knowledge or skill.
8. A course may have pre-requisite course(s) that are given in the Semester-wise Course Allocation
scheme.
9. A student can opt for a course only if he/she has successfully passed its pre- requisite(s).
10. A student has to register for all courses before the start of a semester.
11. Program codes: The codes for various undergraduate programmes are as follows:
i. Civil Engineering: CE
ii. Computer Science &Engineering: CS
iii. Electronics and Communication Engineering: EC
iv. Electrical Engineering: EE
v. Mechanical Engineering: ME
12. Departmental Course Codes: The codes for departmental core courses and discipline-specific
electives are specific to each discipline. The first two characters are derived from departmental
codes listed above. The third character is ‘C’ for core courses and ‘D’ for discipline-specific
courses and ‘PT’ for Dissertation/Project/Training/Internship. This is followed by a digit
sequence number:
i. CSCyyy: Core Course
ii. CSDyyy: Discipline-Specific Elective Course
iii. CSPTyy: Dissertation/Project/Training/Internship

Syllabus for Department Of Civil Engineering 2

13. Common Elective Course Codes: All disciplines will follow a common code as shown below. The
3-digit sequence number ‘yyy’ is taken from the respective tables of different types of courses.
i. HSMyyy: Humanities, Social Sciences& Management Course
ii. BSCyyy: Basic Science Course
iii. MCyyy: Mandatory Course
14. General Electives: A student may take a course under the category of General Elective (GE)
offered by any other Department of the Institute under the categories of Core Course (CC) and
Discipline Specific Electives (DE). However, such options shall be offered to a student as per
prescribed guidelines of the Institute.
15. The opting of a course by the student will depend upon the requisites for that course and with
the consent of the course advisor.
