INTRODUCTION

2

What is Civil Engineering? Civil engineering is a professional

engineering discipline that deals with the design and construction of the physical and natural built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings.

Civil engineering is the oldest engineering

3

What is Civil Engineering? Civil Engineering is nothing but

simple common sense – however – common sense is very uncommon

4

Science, Engineering, Technology Science deals with humans’

understanding of the real world about them – the inherent properties of space, matter, energy and their interactions.

Engineering is the application of objective knowledge to creation of plans, designs and means for achieving desired objectives.

Technology deals with tools and techniques for carrying out plans.

6

Building Material

Any material which is used for construction purpose is called as building material.

TIPS

Use lead pencil for LHS panels on note book

• Use relevant literature

• Well arranged your collected information

• Note book should represent your own work

• Adopt same style of writing, formatting and

expressions through out the all experiments

• Can paste relevant picture, figures, equations

and graphs

TIPSShould submit your practical note bookvery next day of practical• Be careful about attendance and grading• There will be individual grading/markingfor each experiment• Believe in neat, clean and your own work• You may be tested any time duringexperiment or after that in shape of oralviva

LAB LAYOUT

LAB A room or building equipped for scientific

experimentation or research. An academic period devoted to work or

study in such a place. A place where drugs and chemicals are

manufactured. A place for practice, observation, or testing.

LAYOUT The act or an instance of laying out. An arrangement or a plan, especially the

schematic arrangement of machinery or areas
