Procedures:

The project course involves working on proposed design project under direct supervision of faculty members of Civil Engineering Department. Same project could be supervised by instructor s of departments other than Civil Engineering. Instructor of department of other than civil engineering could supervise the selected project. The selected project shall be civil engineering based but it should be relevant, as far as possible, to the local industrial environment and may, in fact, be selected in consultation with the industries.

The project must be started at the beginning of seventh semester. But the evaluation will be made on eighth semester.

Evaluation :

There are three stages in evaluation, they are :

First stage : 10% of the total mark shall be based on the following :

Theory Practical TotalSessional - 100 100Final - - -Total 100 100

53

• Project proposal, Project plan, Budgeting

Second stage: 70% of total mark shall be based on the following:

Work performed (50%) • Project Design• Thoroughness• Understanding of methods used in the project• Amount of work performed• Level of achievement• Ability to work with others• Ability to identify problems• Project planning skills

Documentation (20%)• Report organization• Writing style• Completeness of the report • Readability• Organization and analysis of data results
