Scheme and Syllabi for M.Tech. Programme in

Construction Engineering and Management

Course Objective:

The Master‟s program in Construction Engineering and Management is aimed at shaping

the managerial skills of engineering graduates. The course prepares student to become decision

makers and strategists, fulfilling production, commercial and technological demands.

With this program, students can acquire knowledge in management science, project

management, construction materials, decision and risk analysis, information technology, finance,

lean manufacturing, optimization, supply chain management and various other functional areas

of management. Students also gain practical experience in real world projects.

Students have access to various well established labs such as, project management lab,

construction material lab and quality practice.

It explores the future of construction, seeking new paradigms and innovative models for

delivery, drawing on the latest research in management, construction technologies and

processes.

Course Outcome:

The fundamental goal is to educate up and coming leaders in the industry so that they can

take the latest technical and managerial skills back to the workplace to improve the performance,

efficiency and sustainability of the construction sector whilst promoting innovation and new

technologies through research themes linked via the core academic team to the overall

programme. Graduates possess the requisite technical, managerial and business knowledge to

design construction operations and processes that are safe, efficient, cost effective,

environmentally sensitive and socially aware. They are prepared to integrate and manage the

technical, material, financial and human resources that support construction operations and lead

project teams toward common objectives with an emphasis on values-based principles.

The main objective of the Master Research Project is to identify current issues in the area

of Construction Engineering and Management. The ability of the student to address

contemporary issues and to find practical solutions to these issues increases. Also, continued and

self learning skill of the student is enhanced.

The project work can be a design project/experimental project and or computer simulation

project on any of the topics in Construction Engineering and Management area. The project

work is allotted individually on different topics. As far as possible the students shall be

encouraged to do their project work in the parent institute itself. If found essential, they may be

permitted to continue their project outside the parent institute subject to the conditions in clause

RE-14 of M.Tech regulations. Department will constitute an Evaluation Committee to review the

project work.

The student is required to undertake the master‟s research project phase -I during the

third semester and the same is continued in the 4 th semester (Phase-II). Phase-I consist of

preliminary thesis work, two reviews of the work and the submission of preliminary report. First

review would highlight the topic, objectives, methodology and expected results. Second review

evaluates the progress of the work, preliminary report and scope of the work which is to be

completed in the 4 th semester. The evaluation committee headed by the head of the department

with two other faculty members in the area of the project, of which one shall be the project

supervisor. If the project is done outside the college, the external supervisor associated with the

student will also be a member of the committee. The final evaluation of the project will be taken

up only on completion of the project in the fourth semester.

Pre-requisites: Project Phase I

Course Objective:

Masters Research project phase-II is a continuation of project phase-I started in the third

semester. Before the end of the fourth semester, there will be two reviews one at middle of the

IV semester and other towards the end. The progress of the project work done will be assessed in

the first review, and in the second review, the complete assessment (quality and authenticity) of

the Thesis, will be conducted by the Evaluation Committee. Second review would be a pre

qualifying exercise for the students for getting approval by the Departmental Committee for the

submission of the thesis. At least one technical paper related with Thesis is to be prepared for

possible publication in journal or conferences. The Technical paper is to be submitted along with

the Thesis. The final evaluation of the project shall be done by a committee with concerned head

of the department shall be the chairman of this committee. It shall have two senior faculty

members from the same department, project supervisor and the external supervisor, if any, of the

student and an external expert either from an academic/R&D organization or from industry as

members. Final project grading shall taken into account the progress evaluation done in the third

semester and the project evaluation in the fourth semester.
