History of the Institute:

M. S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology was started in 1962 by the late Dr. M.S. Ramaiah, our
Founder Chairman who was a renowned visionary, philanthropist, and a pioneer in creating
several landmark infrastructure projects in India. Noticing the shortage of talented engineering
professionals required to build a modern India, Dr. M.S. Ramaiah envisioned MSRIT as an institute
of excellence imparting quality and affordable education. Part of Gokula Education Foundation,
MSRIT has grown over the years with significant contributions from various professionals in
different capacities, ably led by Dr. M.S. Ramaiah himself, whose personal commitment has seen
the institution through its formative years. Today, MSRIT stands tall as one of Indias finest names
in Engineering Education and has produced around 35,000 engineering professionals who occupy
responsible positions across the globe.
History of Department:
The Civil Engineering Department was started in the year 1971. Master program M Tech in
Structural Engineering was started in the year 1984. Another milestone was achieved in the year
1994; the department was recognized as Research Center. Over four decades the department
has carved its niche in the areas of academics, research, consultancy, collaborative projects, and
publications. The department was awarded distinction of 5 years of accreditation by NBA when it
was evaluated for third time. Over 12 research scholars have been awarded Ph.D. degree and
more than 18 research scholars are pursuing Ph.D. and M.Sc. degree in Engineering. Over 250
technical papers in the reputed journals and conferences are the outcome of active research of
the department. The Department holds a patent for Total Replacement of Sand in Concrete by
Pond Ash (Patent No 244063). The department has been actively involved in conducting
conferences, workshops, FDPs, Site Visits, Project Tours and several students related programs
to provide a platform for sharing and spreading the latest developments in the field of Civil
Engineering.

5.
HIGHWAY PROJECT: Preliminary and detailed investigations to align a new road (min. 1 to 1.5 km
stretch) between two obligatory points. The investigations shall consist of topographic surveying of
strip of land for considering alternate routes and for final alignment. Report should justify the
selected alignment with details of all geometric designs for traffic and design speed assumed.
Drawing shall include key plan initial alignment, final alignment, longitudinal section along final
alignment, typical cross sections of road.(Drawing should be preferably done using AutoCAD)
Outcomes
1. Gain a basic understanding of the principles and operation of the Global Positioning System
for locating salient features.
2. Gain the ability to measure differences in elevation, draw and utilize contour plots, and
3. calculate volumes for earthwork for civil engineering projects
4. Appreciate the need for licensed surveyors to establish positioning information for property
and structures.

PROJECT WORK
Sub Code: CV 804
Credits: 0:0:12
Course Objectives
Provide students with quantitative and qualitative tools to identify, analyze and develop opportunities
as well as to solve Civil Engineering problems;
Develop students ability to think strategically, and to lead, motivate and manage with teams.
Instill students with skills of curiosity, initiative, independence, reflection and knowledge transfer which
will allow them to be in a position to manage new knowledge in their professional careers.
Develop students written and oral communication competencies to enhance Technical effectiveness;
and
Enhance students appreciation of the values of social responsibility, legal and ethical principles,
through the analysis and discussion of pertinent articles and real time projects.
GUIDELINES
The students shall form their own batch not more than four (4) and get registered with project
coordinator.
The student will be assigned to the prospective guide in the beginning of 7th semester.
The student shall select the topic after a detailed discussion with guide.
The problem identified shall be pertaining to Civil Engineering (analytical/ computational/
experimental/ design oriented/ statistical and case studies)
The students shall finalize the topic within a month from the date of registration in the 7 th
semester.
The student shall give a presentation at the end of 7 th semester about the topic, detailed
literature review/ parameters/ case study/ scope etc.
The project selected shall have the following components.
1. Synopsis
2. Introduction and definition of problem
3. Exhaustive literature survey
4. Objectives of project work from the extract of literature
5. Experimental, analytical, design, evaluation and observations on the above problem
6. Conclusions and scope of future work to be carried out
7. References
8. Appendix showing the detailed data, design calculations, derivation etc.
The CIE marks will be evaluated based on oral presentation and assessment by the internal
guide.
Three review presentations will be conducted in the 8th semester to the subject expert
committee, each will be evaluated for 10 marks and guide will assess for 20 marks.
Preferably the outcome of project work in the form of patent/ journal/ conference paper will be
rated well.
Students are strictly advised not to copy any material from books, hand-outs, project reports,
codes, journals and open sources without indicating the reference, which leads to plagiarism.
The Problem (Analytical/ Computational/ Experimental / Design oriented/ Statistical) shall be
selected after detailed discussion with guide and H.O.D. the project shall have following
features:
65 | P a g e
The project shall be submitted in the prescribed standard format and four copies shall be
submitted to the H.O.D. Project report shall be submitted after certification by the Guide and
H.O.D.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the program, the Civil Engineering graduates will become lifelong learners, of the skills and
competences necessary to successfully contribute to the organization they shall serve in future.
Graduates of the program are able to excel in their chosen career paths, by learning on how to live,
adapt and apply their knowledge to their chosen field.
Program graduates are able: to reflect upon and explore infrastructure problems in depth, to develop
informed technical decisions to tackle them, and to demonstrate ability to pursue new knowledge
necessary to share their expertise in dynamic local and international business environments.
