Contains all the first year CE subjects offered during the first semester

The course provides a fundamental understanding of matter and energy, its interaction, thermo and electrochemical principles, structures andbonding of builiding materials and technological advances of material science. This course also explains chemical processes occurring in the natural environment, ecological problems and existing laws promulgated to mitigate such problems. Further, this also provides an empirical learning experience by applying chemical principles in hands-on experiments and appreciation if chemical concepts in relation of its application to some specific engineering practices.

The course covers topics in the Introduction to Drafting such as types of drawings, drafting instruments, letters, dimensions and scales; Geometric Figures such as points and marks, lines and angles, curved lines, and regular polygons; Projection Drawing such as parallel line projections and perspectives; Building topics such as governing laws for design and practices, building occupancy, and building division and anatomy; Engineering Drawings such as symbols, conventions and basic plan reading, architectural drawings, structural drawings, electrical drawings, mechanical drawings, sanitary and plumbing drawings, geodetic drawings, road and bridge drawings and building information modeling.

Introduction to the practice of civil engineering and the various tracks of specialization of civil engineering.
