13. 708 SEMINAR, SURVEY CAMP & INDUSTRIAL VISITS (C)
Course Objective :
The seminar provides students adequate exposure to public presentations to improve
their communication skills.
Industrial visits expose the students to real-life industrial situations and research
activities.
Survey camp helps the students to improve their ability to perform as an individual as
well as a team member in completing a project work.
(a) SEMINAR
Each student is required to present a seminar on a topic of current relevance in Civil

Engineering and other related areas of current importance. They are expected to refer
research and review papers from standard journals like ASCE, IEI, ELSEVIER, etc. Each
student shall give a power point presentation of 15 minutes duration on his/her seminar
topic in an audience of students and staff members from the department.
Students from lower semesters may also attend the seminar presentation. The seminar
presentation shall be assessed by a panel consisting of the Head of the Department, seminar
coordinator, and 2/3 faculty members. The Head of the Department shall be the chairman
of the panel.
Each student should also prepare a well-documented report on the seminar topic as per the
format and submit to the department at the time of his/her seminar presentation. While
preparing the report, at least three cross references must be used. The seminar report must
not be the reproduction of the original report.
(b) (i) SURVEY CAMP &

Survey Camp should be completed before the commencement of 7th semester. The
minimum duration of the survey camp should be one week. The use of total station and
GPS is compulsory for survey work.
(ii) INDUSTRIAL VISITS
Students have to visit at least three industries/ research institutes relevant to civil
engineering as part of industrial training to understand the processes/activities.
A report of the same should be submitted at the end of 7 th semester and evaluation should
be based on this report. A certified report on industrial visits should be available with the
student for Project and Viva voce at the end of Eighth semester.
