(*) Under the Theory PA, Out Of 30 Marks, 20 Marks is the Average of Two Tests and 10 Marks are for Micro project-
(^) Under practical PA Continuous Assessment of Practical Work is to be done by Course Teacher as per CDC norms.
For the courses having only practical examination, PA has two parts (i) Continuous Assessment of Practical
work - 60% and (ii) microproject-40%.
1. RATIONALE:
Civil engineering projects involve various resources like men, materials, machinery, time and money.
Therefore these projects need to be efficiently managed to utilize the resources to the optimum so that they are
completed at least cost and within stipulated time duration. Civil engineers at the site and office are responsible
to manage the projects efficiently. Therefore Civil engineering diploma holders working in the projects should
be conversant with the various aspects of managing the resources. This course is designed to develop
competencies in the diploma holders and enable them to manage the resources efficiently at construction
projects.
2. COURSE OUTCOMES (COs)
At the end of this course, student will be able to: -
1. Illustrate principles and functions of management at civil engineering work.
2. Plan construction activities with bar chart method
3. Schedule the project with network method.
4. Carry out inventory control with respect to store
5. Develop qualities of leader as a personnel manager
6. Apply safety measures at construction industry.
