involving proportioning, mixing, transporting, placing, compacting, finishing and curing
of concrete. To perform above functions, it is essential to impart knowledge and skills
regarding ingredients of concrete and their properties; properties of concrete in plastic
and hardened stage, water cement ratio and workability; proportioning for ordinary
concrete; concreting operations and joints in concrete.

Civil Engineering diploma engineers are required to supervise the construction of roads
and pavements, dams, embankments, and other Civil Engineering structures. As such the
knowledge of basic soil engineering is the pre-requisite for these engineers for effective
discharge of their duties. This necessitates the introduction of Soil Engineering subject in
the curriculum for Diploma Course in Civil Engineering.
The subject covers only such topics as will enable the diploma engineers to identify and
classify the different types of soils, their selection and proper use in the field for various
types of engineering structures..
The emphasis will be more on teaching practical aspect rather than theory.

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY
The teacher while imparting instructions are expected to lay greater emphasis on the
practical aspects rather than theory and mathematical treatment. To bring clarity
regarding concepts and principles involved, teachers should organize demonstrations in
114
the laboratories and fields. It is necessary to create understanding that soils fail either
under shear or settlement due to heavy loads. This can be shown by making use of
photographs on working models of such failures. Efforts should be made in the practical
classes that students perform practical exercises individually. Conduct of viva
examination at the end of each practical work will develop clear understanding about the
concepts and principles related to this subject.

RATIONALE
The important functions of a civil technician includes the jobs of detailed surveying,
plotting of survey data, preparation of survey maps and setting out works
While framing the curriculum for the subject of surveying, stress has been given to the
development of the skill in each type of survey like chain surveying, compass surveying
and levelling that the Civil Engineering diploma holder will normally be called upon to
perform. Plane table surveying, contouring, theodolite surveying, curves and use of minor
instruments have been also included in this subject.
Field work should be a selected one so that student can check his work and have an idea
of the results the extent of error in the work done by him. As far as possible, the surveys
done should be got plotted, as this will also reveal errors in the work and develop skill in
plotting.

bending moment and shear force diagrams, second moment of area, bending and shear
stresses, slope and deflection and analysis of trusses. The above knowledge will be
useful for designing simple structural components. This subject is very important to
develop basic concepts and principles related to structural mechanics. This subject will
also enable the students to continue their further education.
