Sixth semester

The sixth semester extends several subject sequences introduced earlier and adds economic analysis to the engineering curriculum.

Students study:

• Foundation Engineering

• Irrigation Engineering

• Sanitary Engineering

• Transportation Engineering-II

• Numerical Methods

• Engineering Economics

Foundation Engineering follows Soil Mechanics, while Transportation Engineering-II continues the transportation sequence from the fifth semester. Water-related study expands through Irrigation Engineering and Sanitary Engineering. The semester carries 18 credit hours.

Eighth semester

The final semester has four components:

• Civil Engineering Project II

• Engineering Professional Practice

• Elective-II

Civil Engineering Project II continues the project work begun in the seventh semester. The curriculum also includes Engineering Professional Practice and a second elective.

The internship is specified as 30 working days. The semester carries 11 credit hours.

Practical and field-based components

The course structure is not limited to theory examinations. Practical work appears throughout the curriculum in subjects such as Chemistry, Physics, Civil Engineering Materials, electrical engineering, drawing, surveying, fluid mechanics, engineering geology, computer programming, hydraulics, structural subjects, concrete technology, soil mechanics, water supply, transportation, hydrology, sanitary engineering, and numerical methods.

Three later components add a stronger field and applied dimension:

• Internship — 30 working days

These components sit at different stages of the program: Survey Camp in the fifth semester, Project I in the seventh, and Project II and internship in the eighth.

Main academic areas covered

The curriculum develops through several connected areas rather than treating civil engineering as a single subject.

Mathematics and science

Mathematics I, II, and III, Chemistry, Physics, Probability & Statistics, and Numerical Methods provide the quantitative and scientific components of the curriculum.

Mechanics and structures

Applied Mechanics I and II, Strength of Materials, Theory of Structure I and II, Design of Steel and Timber Structure, Foundation Engineering, and Design of reinforced concrete structure form the structural and mechanics sequence.

Surveying and field measurement

Survey I, Survey-II, and the Survey Camp create a progression from classroom and practical surveying to a dedicated field component.

Water and hydraulic engineering

Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics, Water Supply Engineering, Engineering Hydrology, Irrigation Engineering, Sanitary Engineering, and Hydropower Engineering cover different aspects of water-related civil engineering study.

Transportation engineering

Transportation Engineering-I and Transportation Engineering-II are offered in consecutive semesters.

Construction and project work

Building Technology, Concrete Technology and Masonry Structures, Estimation and valuation, Safety Engineering, Construction Project Management, Civil Engineering Project I, and Civil Engineering Project II connect construction-oriented study with planning, estimation, safety, management, and project activity.

Skills developed through the curriculum

Based on the academic and practical components, students have opportunities to develop abilities related to:

• Engineering calculations and quantitative problem-solving

• Technical and civil engineering drawing

• Surveying and field measurement

• Structural analysis and design-related study

• Understanding of construction materials and building technology

• Soil and foundation analysis

• Hydraulic, hydrological, water-supply, irrigation, and sanitary engineering study

• Transportation engineering analysis

• Estimation and valuation

• Construction project management

• Engineering communication

• Project preparation and presentation

• Practical and field-based engineering work

The extent of these abilities depends on a student's academic engagement, practical performance, project work, and experience.

Assessment structure

The curriculum uses internal and final assessment. Depending on the subject, assessment may include theory, practical work, drawing, project work, or other internal components.

For example, surveying subjects carry theory and practical assessment, while drawing subjects place substantial weight on practical or drawing work. The final semesters also include separately assessed project and internship components.
