Curriculum Overview

The curriculum of the Diploma in Civil Engineering is structured to provide a strong foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of civil engineering.

Key subjects include:

• Engineering Mechanics – Study of forces and their effects on structures, including principles of statics, dynamics, and strength of materials.
• Building Materials and Construction Technology – Introduction to various construction materials like cement, steel, and concrete, and their application in construction projects.
• Surveying – Techniques and methods used in land surveying, including levelling, contour mapping, and setting out of construction sites.
• Structural Analysis – Basics of analyzing and designing structures such as beams, columns, and frames, considering factors like loads and stresses.
• Concrete Technology – Study of the properties, mix design, and testing of concrete, including the production of different types of concrete.
• Transportation Engineering – Fundamentals of road design, traffic planning, and transportation systems, including the design and construction of highways, bridges, and railways.
• Environmental Engineering – Focus on the design and implementation of systems for managing water supply, sewage, and waste disposal, ensuring environmental sustainability.
• Geotechnical Engineering – Study of soil mechanics, including the behavior of soils and their interaction with foundations and other civil engineering structures.
• Construction Management and Estimation – Introduction to project management, cost estimation, construction scheduling, and understanding of project timelines and budgets.
• Project Work and Industrial Training – Practical exposure to live construction projects, including site visits, internships, and on-the-job training to reinforce classroom learning.
