CURRICULUM

DIPLOMA COURSE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

Shri Bhagubhai Mafatlal Polytechnic started 03 year’s Diploma courses and affiliated to the Board of Technical

Examinations, Maharashtra State, in 1963. Since 1969, academic freedom was granted to the Polytechnic, which

enabled it to evolve curriculum and examination scheme and to introduce inplant training, resulting into industry-

institute interaction. Thus 4 years’ semester sandwich pattern came in existence. Since 1978-79 academic freedom was

extended to all the full-time diploma courses. In 1989-90, full autonomy was granted to all seven full-time diploma

courses. As a further development to the above, the Multi-Point Entry and Credit System (MPE&CS) was initiated in

1981 on the progressive basis. In the scheme students can regulate their pace of studies within the rules prescribed.

From 1993-94, full academic autonomy was extended to all the courses.

Civil Engineering is a basis branch of Engineering. Civil Engineering branch provides basic needs of the Society to take

up the development of Society and the world. The aim of the institute, through Civil Engineering education is to provide

trained professionals as required for the basic needs of development of Society. The vision of Civil Engineering

Development is to be more capable to impart education which can match the development of technology. In view of

vision of Civil Engineering Department, it is having a mission of tuning students into Engineers Technologists,

Managers and Administrators. Besides teaching and training, it has a mission of providing services like R&D, testing

and consultancy to the construction industry by motivating the faculty for taking up the challenges.

Therefore, Diploma in Civil Engineering Program envisages in developing competent technicians with a number of

professional skills who can perform these jobs in the construction contracting / consulting company or as an

entrepreneur effectively and efficiently. With this vision and mission in mind, the objectives in Civil Engineering

Department is to provide modern facilities, monitoring continued development, industry-institution relations, motivating

students for extracurricular activities and motivating faculty for self development.

The course for Civil Engineers at technical level is designed covering the basic knowledge of core subjects like

Engineering Materials, Surveying, Civil Engineering Drawing, Applied Mechanics and Construction. This is followed by

subjects like Materials and Structures. Building Maintenance Repairs & Services and Concrete Technology before first

phase of in-plant training. At seventh semester stage subjects like Irrigation Engineering, Project Engineering

Management, Design Practice of RCC Structures, Water Supply and Drainage, Soil Mechanics and Entrepreneurship

are taught before second phase of in-plant training.

The Civil Engineering Diploma Education along with practical training enables the student to take up higher education.

He or she can be good technical hand for the Construction Industry and as a entrepreneur student can start his or her

own technical services in the field of Construction Engineering.

The students receive institutional training for the first five semesters. In the VIth Semester, they are given inplant or

field training. They return to the Polytechnic in the VIIth Semester for institutional training. In the concluding VIIth

Semester, they again receive inplant or field training. This scheme enables the students to have exposure to industry

during their training and imparts practice orientation to improve their prospects for employment.

For award of Diploma (Full-Time) under Multi Point Entry and Credit System (MPE&CS) it is essential to earn 130

credits through academic education including compulsory subjects and through practical training of 30 credits. The

examination pattern or scheme is as stipulated in the syllabus. The final award of grade will be given on the basis of

marks obtained in Award Winning Subjects of the Civil Engineering Diploma Course under grade point average

scheme/criteria/norms as laid down in the MPE&CS.

Intake level of the students is S.S.C. or its Equivalent. These students have studied English for 6 years. Expected level of their Active vocabulary is 2500 words from Nagpur List of high frequency words. However in practice it was found that the students, particularly from vernacular media, have only 1500 words at their command. They need to have course in English subject to offset this situation’ Therefore the first semester engineering course need to study English subject. Hence English–I is included in this course of first semester. 4. GENERAL OBJECTIVES

1.The Student will increase his English vocabulary to a minimum of 2500 words (Nagpur list) through the prescribed text and grammar exercises by various techniques such as synonyms, antonyms, one word substitutes, prefixes and suffixes and comprehension of new words , idioms and prepositional phrases.

2. Students will understand the various uses of grammar items such as Voice in English sentences, Degrees of comparison, Tenses, Direct and Indirect speech in for
