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.

11. 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

12. TIPS Should submit your practical note book very next day of practical
• Be careful about attendance and grading
• There will be individual grading/marking
for each experiment
• Believe in neat, clean and your own work
• You may be tested any time during
experiment or after that in shape of oral
viva

13. 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.

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