Course objectives: To make students learn the scope of various fields of civil engineering.

To make the students learn about kinematics and kinetics and their applications.
Teaching-Learning Process (General Instructions)
These are sample Strategies; which teachers can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course outcomes.
1. Lecturer method (L) does not mean only the traditional lecture method, but a different type of teaching method may be adopted to develop the outcomes.
2. Arrange visits to nearby sites to give brief information about the Civil Engineering structures.
3. Show Video/animation films to explain the infrastructures and the mechanism involved in the principle.
4. Encourage collaborative (Group Learning) Learning in the class.
5. Ask at least three HOTS (Higher-order Thinking) questions in the class, which promotes critical thinking.
6. Adopt Problem Based Learning (PBL), which fosters students’ Analytical skills, develop thinking skills such as the ability to evaluate, generalize, and analyze information rather than simply recall it.
7. Topics will be introduced in multiple representations.
8. Show the different ways to solve the same problem and encourage the students to come up with their own creative ways to solve them.
9. Discuss how every concept can be applied to the real world - and when that's possible, it helps improve the students' understanding.
10. Individual teachers can device innovative pedagogy to improve teaching-learning.

Course outcome (Course Skill Set)
At the end of the course the student will be able to: Understand the various fields of civil engineering.
Compute the resultant of a force system and resolution of a force.

Locate the centroid and compute the moment of inertia of regular and built-up sections.
Analyze the bodies in motion.
Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%. The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks). A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student secures not less than 35% ( 18 Marks out of 50)in the semester-end examination(SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken togetherContinuous Internal Evaluation:
Three Unit Tests each of 20 Marks (duration 01 hour)1. First test at the end of 5th week of the semester
2. Second test at the end of the 10th week of the semester
3. Third test at the end of the 15th week of the semester
Two assignments each of 10 Marks
4. First assignment at the end of 4th week of the semester
5. Second assignment at the end of 9th week of the semester
Group discussion/Seminar/quiz any one of three suitably planned to attain the COs and POs for 20 Marks (duration 01 hours)
6. At the end of the 13th week of the semester
The sum of three tests, two assignments, and quiz/seminar/group discussion will be out of 100 marks and will be scaled down to 50 marks
(to have less stressed CIE, the portion of the syllabus should not be common /repeated for any of the methods of the CIE. Each method of CIE should have a different syllabus portion of the course).
CIE methods /question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as per the outcome defined for the course.
Semester End Examination:
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question papers for the subject (duration 03 hours)1. The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks.
2. There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a maximum of 3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module or
