A. INTRODUCTION: This course is offered by Dept. of Civil Engineering as a departmental core course.
The main objectives of this course are to understand, basics of civil engineering with are essential for
everyone. The course covers principle of surveying, method and equipment’s used for surveying,
building material used for construction, different components of building, forces and its equilibrium,
evaluation of centre of gravity and moment of inertia of simple and composite sections, simple stress
and strain, method of analysis of truss, estimation and costing. Overall, this course will help to
understand the basic of civil engineering used in our day-to-day life.

B. COURSE OUTCOMES:
After successful study of course, students will be able to:

[CV1001.1] Remember the scope and role of civil engineering and civil engineer in development of society.

[CV1001.2] Understand the working principle and utilization of different surveying equipment depending on
their need.

[CV1001.3] Describe the scientific terminologies related to building materials and components of building.

[CV1001.4] Understand and implement the different types of forces, moments, stress, strain, and moment of
inertia.

[CV1001.5] Explain the basic terminologies related to Estimation and Costing.

Attendance A minimum of 75% Attendance is required to be maintained

by a student to be qualified for taking up the End Semester
(Formative)
examination. The allowance of 25% includes all types of
leaves including medical leaves.

 Make up Assignments Students who miss a class will have to report to the teacher
about the absence. A makeup assignment/quiz/viva on the
(Formative)
topic taught on the day of absence will be given which has to
be submitted within a week from the date of absence. No
extensions will be given on this. The attendance for that day
of absence will be marked blank, so that the student is not
accounted for absence. These assignments are limited to a
maximum of 5 throughout the entire semester.

Homework/ Home There are situations where a student may have to work in
Assignment/Quizzes/ home, especially before a flipped classroom. Although the
Activity Assignment grading of these works will be decided by course instructor.
However, a student is expected to participate and perform
(Formative)
these assignments with full zeal. Since the activity/ flipped
classroom participation by a student will be assessed and
marks will be awarded.
