For all other civil 6th sem syllabus for diploma m scheme tndte you can visit Civil 6th Sem Syllabus for Diploma M Scheme TNDTE Subjects. The detail syllabus for project work is as follows.
Rationale:
As far as possible students should be given live project problems with a view to :
- Develop understanding regarding the size and scale of operations and nature of field work in which students are going to play their role after completing the courses of study.
- Develop understanding of subject based knowledge given in the classroom in the context of its application at work places.
- Develop firsthand experience and confidence amongst the students to enable them to use and apply polytechnic/institute based knowledge and skills to solve practical problems of the world of work.
- Develop special skills and abilities like interpersonal skills, communication skills, attitudes and values
Objectives:
The objective of the project work is to enable the students to work in convenient groups of not more than six members in a group on a project involving theoretical and experimental studies related to Civil Engineering. Every Project Work shall have a Guide who is a member of the faculty of Civil Engineering of the college. The hours allotted for this course shall be utilized by the students to receive directions from the Guide, on library reading, laboratory work, computer analysis or
field work and also to present in periodical seminars the progress made in the project. Each student shall finally produce a comprehensive report covering background information, literature Survey, problem statement, Project work details and conclusions.
This experience of project work shall help the student in expanding his / her knowledge base and also provide opportunity to utilise the creative ability and inference capability.
