The unique feature of the B. Tech curriculum at DEI is that the students complete multiple projects right from the first year.
Work Experience Courses (WEC)
This course for 2nd year students is meant to get hands on skill in maintenance of structures maintenance and repair of buildings. Students are expected to select a building of historical or architectural significance and identify the current problems of the structure with regards to the age. The students themselves come up with innovative ideas that help in the maintenance of the structure. This is then submitted to relevant authorities for further action.
Practical Training (EGC382)
The Practical Training is a short duration summer program after the completion of the 1st year. The program is primarily aimed towards exposing students to industry practices.
Product Manufacturing Project - PMP (EGC381)
An engineering student should be capable of designing projects to solve engineering problems. The Product Manufacturing Project course for 2nd year students explores the student’s intellect and building skills to create engineering systems or products considering the technical feasibility and financial viability.
Design Engineering/ Theme Development Project – DETD (EGC581)
Design Engineering/ Theme Development Project – DETD (EGC581) for 3rd year students to Design Engineering Concept and Theme development of real-life industrial problems. A problem statement is defined based on the need, followed by product analysis and design. All feasibility studies with regards to physical realizability, technical feasibility, industrial/social acceptability and economic viability are conducted.
Practical Training (EGC582)
This practical training in held at the end of the 2nd year where students undergo practical training in different industries allotted to them at different industries for a period of 30 days. The Civil Department has extended the program to include a survey camp where students conduct a survey of the agricultural fields and other designated areas of the institute with the latest equipment such as Total Station and DGPS. Besides field observations, the students are also trained in the preparation of topographical, contour maps.
CO-OP Training (EGC781)
At the end of 3rd year, the students undergo a five month in various reputed organizations / Industries to get exposure to the latest work culture of industries and handling projects related to productions and industrial R&D. The students are usually paid a stipend or provided with non-financial support. Students on the other hand gain immensely through an extended on-the-job understanding of how academic principles are applied in real situations and an opportunity to test the skills learnt in the classroom. The interaction and feedback from returning students and participating organisations allows the University to enhance and improve its curriculum. The students are sometimes offered a job offer at the end of the training course and the institute provides necessary flexibility to complete their degree program through distant mode.
Rural Engineering Project (RDC781)
This final year course is meant to implement the knowledge gained through the course related to village industries and entrepreneurship and small-scale industries. The students get a better understanding of the rural needs opportunities in the rural sector
Major Project (CEH701 and CEM802)
In the final year, students in groups of 3 or 4 undertake project work under the guidance of a supervisor. The project is usually focussed in different areas of specialization such as structural, geomatics, geotechnical, transportation, construction technology and management, building materials, etc. Students review the literature to search for technical information from various resources on selected problem and formulate the appropriate solution methodology.
