Rationale:
Construction process-I is the pre-requisite of Construction process-II. Civil Engineering diploma graduates have to supervise construction of various project works involving use of various construction work based on quality. It does have physical parts with which we can make an appropriate shelter, service for the client to use it. So, to know how to build a construction project, one must know about Concrete, its types, properties, use of concrete, brick masonry, block masonry, different type of partition wall, drywall etc. This set of knowledge and skill to gives confidence to understand and construct a project. The students should have requisite knowledge regarding characteristics, uses and availability of various building item of work for construction purposes. In addition, specifications of various materials should also be known (BNBC/PWD) for effective quality control. To perform above task, it is essential that students should have knowledge of various item of work like concrete, masonry, block masonry, partition wall etc., and their constructional details. Therefore, the subject of Construction Process-I is very important for Civil Engineering diploma Graduates.

1. Rationale: Hydrology is an extremely important field of study, dealing with one of the most valuable resources on Earth water. All aspects of the Earth's available water are studied by experts from many disciplines, from geologists to civil engineers, to obtain the information needed to manage this vital resource. Thus, considering the importance above mentioned, this discipline has been included in the diploma level as a subject to be graduate in the sector. The syllabus includes concept of engineering hydrology, hydrology cycle, hydrometeorology, introduction to precipitation, measurement of precipitation, analysis and interpretation of rainfall data, stream flow measurement, evaporation and evapotranspiration, infiltration, rainfall and runoff relationship, hydrograph analysis and flood routing modules/contents, blue economy and Delta plan in Bangladesh to be studied in the teaching learning process.
