Course Title: Minor Project Credit: 2

Course Code.:CE 475 Number of lecture/week: 2
Nature of the Course: Consulted and supervise Tutorial/week:
Year/Semester: Fourth/Seventh Total hours: 30

1. Course Introduction:
The course is aimed to provide the basic knowledge of design, research or experiment in any
civil engineering project. The project design and comprehensive knowledge isto provide a
concept to choose a project title and area. It is a practical application of civil engineering
discipline in real life. The whole project work process will be dependant on student or group of
studentschoice, imagination and their own concept. But there is a close supervision and
guidance of appropriate member / members of faculties to each student /group. The project
gives an opportunity to the students to discuss and tackleany civil engineering problems. A
project may be design type,dissertation type or lab experimental type. Finally a student requires
to submit a project report and oral presentation of project.

2. Course Objectives:
At the end of this course the student should be able to understandthe fundamentals of projects
design: student should be
 Able to prepare a design for an extensive civil engineering project.
 Able to preparedissertation type project , literature survey and review literature and
correlation of existing knowledge
 Able to identify the problem, issues, questions and investigation through laboratory type
experimental setup
 The minor project will be followed by major project in next VIII semester and students shall
carry out following tasks in Minor Project

Notes: Project work will be initiated by supervisor/faculty withnumerous lectures at

beginning. Students are encouraged for discussion and they are free to peruse according to
their own effort. Student should consult with supervisoradequately. Before submission the
final report the student must submit a draft report and seek necessary feedback from
supervisor. Finally the report is examined by external expert in presence of supervisor.
