While framing the curriculum for the subject of surveying, stress has been given to the
development of the skill in each type of survey like chain surveying, compass surveying
leveling, that the Civil Engineering diploma holder will normally be called upon to perform
and plane table surveying,
Field work should be a selected one so that student can check his work and have an idea of
the results the extent of error in the work done by him. As far as possible, the surveys done
should be got plotted, as this will also reveal errors in the work and develop skill in plotting.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING

It is needless to emphasize further the importance of Industrial Training of students during their 3 years
of studies at Polytechnics. It is industrial training, which provides an opportunity to students to
experience the environment and culture of industrial production units and commercial activities
undertaken in field organizations. It prepares student for their future role as diploma engineers in the
world of work and enables them to integrate theory with practice. Polytechnics have been arranging
industrial training of students of various durations to meet the above objectives.

This document includes guided and supervised industrial training of 4 weeks duration
to be organised during the semester break starting after second year i.e. after 4th
semester examinations. The concerned HODs along with other teachers will guide
and help students in arranging appropriate training places relevant to their specific
branch. It is suggested that a training schedule may be drawn for each student before
starting of the training in consultation with the training providers. Students should
also be briefed in advance about the organizational setup, product range,
manufacturing process, important machines and materials used in the training
organization.

Equally important with the guidance is supervision of students training in the

industry/organization by the teachers. Students should be encouraged to write daily
report in their diary to enable them to write final report and its presentation later on.

An external assessment of 50 marks has been provided in the study and evaluation
scheme of 5th Semester. Evaluation of professional industrial training report through
viva-voce/presentation aims at assessing students understanding of materials,
industrial process, practices in industry/field organization and their ability to engage
in activities related to problem solving in industrial setup as well as understanding of
application of knowledge and skills learnt in real life situations.

Teachers and students are requested to see the footnote below the study and
evaluation scheme of 4th semester for further details.

The teacher along with field supervisors will conduct performance assessment of
students. The components of evaluation will include the following:

a) Punctuality and regularity 15%

b) Initiative in learning new things 15%
c) Presentation and Viva 15%
d) Industrial training report 55%
