In our country more than 60 percent of plan (budget goes to construction activities/industry, directly
or indirectly. According to the latest information available in eight five year plan (1992-97) much of
the country's development' work, especially in rural and sub urban areas, is still pending, awaiting
urgent attention. As per the plan document. 31 million units of shelter are required to be constructed;
3000 hard-cave problem villages remain in the category of ‘No Source’ and 1.5 lakh ‘partially
covered’ villages having safe drinking water supply level less than 40 liters per capital per day within
a walking distance of 1.6 kilometers or an elevation difference of 100 meters, less than 11 percent of
country's total population have access to proper sanitation facilities; out of 5,67,000 villages in the
country only 2,61.000 (46 percent) have all weather or fair weather road connectivity. 76.8 million
hectare area is under irrigation out of potential 107 million hectare area which can be irrigated if water
resources are fully exploited/managed. It has also been experienced that we construct good building
but in the course of time they require continuous repair and maintenance. A realization is thus
growing and picking up moments, particularly in urban sector for keeping the building and other
structures in perfect condition. These and many more potential exist where civil engineering diploma
holders can get wage/self employment.
There is considerable, scope of employment of diploma holders in civil engineering in service
sector like repair and maintenance of buildings and building services. Marketing of new building
material! is another potential area of employment. Polytechnics should provide knowledge and
associated skills in the above areas and entrepreneurial support system should provide soft loans and
guidance to such diploma holders.
There is a need to establish networking with selected number of field organizations for effective
implementation of diploma course in civil engineering. Involvement of construction industry in
providing appropriate professional experience to the students during course, involvement of
professionals in teaching learning process, structured and supervised field visits to students, field
oriented project activity to students are some of the areas of collaboration. Continuous interaction
with world of work will bridge the gap, promote better rapport, develop appropriate professional
competencies in the students and this may lead to better employment opportunities to diploma
holders.
In the times to come, wage employment, particularly in the government sector is likely to
dwindle. Polytechnics will have to provide guidance and career counseling to the entrants.
Polytechnics will have to provide guidance and career counseling to the entrants, for promoting
undertaking self-employment ventures like sub contractor ship, undertaking repair and maintenance
services and installation of sanitary and water supply systems etc. In addition, students need to be
counseled for opting their career in private sector for which Polytechnics have to build necessary
linkages with reputed construction companies in the private sector.
Thus major employment of diploma holders in civil engineering is envisaged in the following
construction organizations/departments.
Based on employment opportunities and activity profile of diploma holders in civil engineering,
following competency profile is arrived at :
1. Skill in preparing, reading and interpreting drawing pertaining to civil engineer and allied
works

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

One of the major concerns of Civil Engineering technicians to take care of the civil works, already-
constructed. in order to keep these works/structures in utmost workable conditions. Usually it is being
felt that the civil works deteriorate faster for want of care and proper maintenance. The buildings
usually have a shabby appearance due to leakages from the roofs and sanitary/water supply fittings.
Thus the need for teaching the subject is proper perspective has arisen.

RATIONALE
The practical training cum project work is intended to place students for project oriented practical
training in actual work situations for the stipulated period with a view to :
i) Develop understanding regarding the size and scale of operations and nature of field work which
students are going to play their role after completing the courses of study.
ii) Develop understanding of subject based knowledge given in the class room in the context of it
application at work places
iii) Develop first hand experience and confidence amongst the students to enable them to use and
apply polytechnic/institute based knowledge and skills to solve practical problems in the world of
work.
iv) Develop special skills and abilities like interpersonal skills, communication skill, attitudes and
values.
This practical training cum project work should not be considered as merely conventional industrial
training in which students are sent at work places with minimal supervision. This experience is
required to be planned and supervised on regular basis by the polytechnic faculty, for the fulfillment
of above objectives, polytechnic may establish close linkage with 8-10 relevant organization for
providing such an experience. It is necessary that each organization is visited well in advance and
activities to be performed by student are well defined. The chosen activities should be such which are
of curricular interest to students and of professional value to industrial/field organizations. Each
teacher is expected to supervise and guide 5.6 Students
Effort should be made to identify actual field problems to be given as project work to the students.
Project selected should not be too complex which is beyond the level of the students. The placement
of the students for such a practical cum project work should match with the competency profile of
students and the project work assigned to them. Students may be assessed both by industry and
polytechnic faculty. The suggested performance criteria are given below:
i) Setting up of an enterprise
ii) Projects connected with repair and maintenance of Civil works
iii) Estimating and costing projects
iv). Design of residential buildings including design of structural members
v) Project work related to quality control of materials, concrete and construction activities
vi) Project work related to waste minimization and waste utilization
