Faculty of Technology
School of Building Science & Technology (SBST), currently known as Faculty of Technology,
was established with a core objective of creating leaders in the Construction field. In the
conventional Civil engineering courses where emphasis is laid only on theory, at SBST we
provide students a unique opportunity to learn from site along with theoretical study. Every
semester, students visit site for field studies on periodically or for case studies as per
requirements of a subject. In subjects like Field Studies students visit site once a week to
learn related construction practices and link theory taught with practical aspects. In subjects
such as Engineering Materials, Building Services, Construction Technology, Concrete
Technology, Quantity Surveying, and Project Management case studies are used in the
teaching.
Project Training at eighth semester is now 16 week long intensive training program which
allows students to explore and understand various aspects of construction. The main
emphasis here is on learning Construction Technology including method of construction, use
of tools-equipment-plants, productivity, and related management aspects. On completion of
training, students prepare a comprehensive report covering various project dimensions
starting from project information to finer aspects of construction work. The student is
required to make a presentation before a panel of jurors, who are experts in their respective
fields. This course carries 20 credits.
It is experienced that after going through Project Training program students’ maturity,
interest and understanding of civil engineering increases. Students build good rapport with
the organizations, which sometimes helps them in their placement at the end of the course
too. Schedule for project training is given hereunder in Table-1. All the students must attend
the orientation meeting. Student can join the site any day after the orientation but not later
than the specified date.
