 Program Outcomes
• PO3 – Design solutions for well-defined technical problems and
assist with the design of systems, components or processes to
meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for
public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental
considerations.

• PO7 – Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of

engineering technician work in the solution of well defined
engineering problems in societal and environmental contexts.

• PO10 – Communicate effectively on well-defined engineering

activities with the engineering community and with society at
large, by being able to comprehend the work of others,
document their own work, and give and receive clear
instructions.

 Student’s task
Week 1
Task 1(a)
• Form a group of maximum
FIVE (5) persons
• Prepare a formal letter to the
respective individual/company
in order to get the architectural
plan of a double storey building
& an elevated steel water tank
• Study the architectural plan for
the next task.
Week 2
Task 1(b)
• Prepare a tracing paper. Suitable
size are A4/A3
• Trace the gridlines of the
building for every floors.
• Locate the slabs, beams,
columns of the building.
• Transfer the proposed elements
in ESTEEM Softwares.
• Analyze the loadings in
ESTEEM.
