Civil Engineering is one of the main branches of Engineering in Mumbai University. Civil Engineering is the discipline which teaches you to design, build and maintain human constructed infrastructure like roads, bridges , buildings or even  naturally occurring structures in our environment.

The four year program offered by colleges in Mumbai University covers (please see the syllabus section in the community) the basic engineering material needed for a good Civil Engineer in the Industry. Like any course, it will not make you the most skilled engineer and there will be a need for internships, on the job training and may be even higher education to become a successful Civil Engineer.

Civil Engineering will play an important role in the future development of India. India is a developing country and will need many more Civil Engineers in the future and the jobs available under Civil Engineering Jobs board is expected to increase as more construction projects are undertaken by the government and the private sector.

Civil Engineers also have a lot of demand internationally. You can pursue higher education in a developed country and work on projects in a wide range of sub-fields from Contsruction Management to Oil fields, form building Sky Scrapers to mining coal.

We are working on a list of colleges that offer Civil Engineering in Mumbai University. Please sign up in our community and contribute to this effort.

Who isn’t scared of exams? We have been taking exams for like 16 years, yet we get unnerved, confused, cry, procrastinate – do everything right before our exam. Here are a few tips that might make your exam day slightly more bearable.

Night before Exam

• Here’s where I am hoping that you have studied as much as possible during your study vacation. And today you have made a list of all the important topics in order of priority of study.
• Check your exam timing again!
• Work on topics that you know need time. Revise whatever you can.
• Pack your exam bag / book bag with your hall entry ID if applicable, your stationery items like pens, staplers, calculators, technical drawing kits, any journals/projects to be submitted on the examination day etc.
• Eat a healthy, but light dinner and sleep when you are done revising. Don’t stay up too late.
• Don’t stay up on the phone discussing and palpitating about what you haven’t studied. Especially, don’t pay attention to people who claim they just received some sort of a magical ‘question bank’!
• You must have studied the format of the question paper by now. Prepare yourself accordingly. Try and work out a schedule for how long you wish to dedicate to each question type.
• Relax, visualise yourself appearing for the exam confidently and calmly. Go off to sleep.

Before Exam

• Get up at a comfortable time and get ready. If you have allotted time to study, go through your notes.
• Don’t try and study anything new right now. Instead just concentrate on sharpening whatever you know very well right now. It’s nearly impossible to attempt to remember something new today. Don’t try it, because you’ll end up confusing yourself and probably even forget what you actually knew well in the first place.
• Eat a light, nutritious breakfast. Don’t over eat or stay hungry. Neither is going to help.
• Carry water, a snack, chocolates or whatever you think you might require during the exam.
• Don’t forget to wear your watch!
• Leave from your home/ hostel in good time. Allow for delays in traffic, trains, buses, and sudden spurts of discovering religion (hey students in India discover religion on a regular exam basis!), rains or any other natural causes for delay. This will ensure you reach in good time to your examination venue. Also allocate time to finding a place to park if you drive yourself.
• Carry your notes along with you, but realize that carrying ALL your notes and your texts and the reference books is not going to help.
• Reach the venue before time and find your seat or the classroom which is allocated to you.

On Arrival at Test Center

• Once you have reached, stay away from being in a large boisterous group in which everyone’s talking about how the exam will be.
• Meet with a few friends, share thoughts by all means but don’t get bogged down.
• If you like being alone, just find a comfortable spot, sit and read through your books.
• Don’t get anxious. I know it’s easier said than done, but imagine that you are doing well and you know everything in the exam. Just keep calm and read through or silently revise and you will be okay.

During Exam

• Often, you have to be in your seat at least 20 to 30 minutes before the actual start of the exam.  Get to your seat, put all books away, and keep yourself cool.
• When the answer sheets are handed out, read the instructions on them and follow accordingly.
• Sign the attendance records.
• Once they hand out the question papers, go through the whole paper. Check for instructions like “Answer only 3 out of 5 from section A” or “Answer either section A or section B”. Please make sure you have understood the instruction properly.
• Check which questions you’re most comfortable with. Start off by answering those.
• Keep an eye on the watch. At times, a lot of time is spent answering a few questions and then suddenly you realize you’re left with very little time for the rest of the questions.
• If you’re comfortable with attempting numerical first, go ahead and finish those. To some people, numericals are a great confidence booster. To some others, they feel it’s better to get them out of the way and get onto other questions later.
• If you have to make any diagrams, be neat and label them as required.
• Don’t look at others and think of what they are writing about. Many students see their friends taking a lot of answer sheets and get worried!
• If you run out of time, but still know a few answers, quickly write down the answers as points. They may fetch you a few marks at least.
• Finish off your test, put your papers together and go through it if you want to.

After Exam

• Submit your papers, and be happy with whatever you have done.
• Avoid doing a detailed post mortem of the exam.
• If you have any more exams to study for, forget about this one, it’s behind you now. You might be very happy with the way you attempted it or you might feel that you could do better. Whatever it is, just focus your energies on your next exam. If you feel that you needed to do better, channelize this into your preparations for the next exam.
• Take some time off and unwind yourself before you start further preparations.
• If this was your last exam, just be happy and have fun!

Whatever you might think of them, examinations are a sort of necessary evil. They have to be taken as that’s the way people evaluate what you have learned. These are tips to help you get through what students unnecessarily make into a stressful time.

Imagine graduating in the 1970s, and going to search for a job, with your hand-written resume. It seems outdated isn’t it? The entire system and the whole process have changed completely over the years. These days what counts isn’t what you have only learned in college, but also the practical experience you gained while you were learning.

These days many companies happily hire interns. This is because the cost to the company for an intern is much lower. Taking advantage of this situation, students must try and apply and intern in various places. It gives you the necessary experience and also makes your resume look stronger. You can discover your strengths and weaknesses while you’re working in such a place. This will also give you a fair idea of what exactly you want to do once you graduate. Or not want to do for that matter.

The exposure you get while interning will prepare you to handle crisis situations once you actually start working. You’ll have a great many things to speak of during your interviews. Things like how you managed a certain role, interacted with your seniors, learned new processes, applied what you learned in college, all these will contribute during your actual job seeking process.

You’ll also see that the kind of work you’re expected to do in real life, differs from bookish knowledge. Having that kind of experience will arm you better once you graduate and you won’t be too lost later.

If you’re lucky enough to land a paid internship, you might even be able to cover your tuition costs. At times, companies also offer partial scholarships which you can avail and decrease your fees. In such cases, it’s like you have your cake and eat it too. You gain valuable experience and at the same time earn some money. Do you think it gets better than that?

Another important aspect to internships is that you communicate with a lot of people. You’re basically networking whether you do it consciously or not. You’ll get to know a lot of people, some of whom may like your work well enough to remember you once you have graduated. At such times, you have a job ready for you even before you graduate. Even if you don’t have a job waiting, you’ll probably know whom to contact in such cases.

Doing an internship, whether it be paid or unpaid is a great boon that students have. You must make use of the opportunity and help your own self in today’s competitive world.

College festivals are a whole lot of fun. Whether you’ve decided to volunteer just o bunk lectures or because you want that girl’s phone number, college fests are just too good to pass up. No one, not even the geekiest person ever can miss that excitement in the air when your college is celebrating its own festival. But have you ever thought that participation in college festivals can help you in your career?

While you may not realize in the fun of activities, but you are being subjected to a personality development kind of training.  Every time you participate in any college fest, you’re polishing yourself up. Participation ensures healthy competition. And healthy competition ensures that you’ll strive a lot, give it your best shot, thereby honing your talents and skills. All employers are looking for candidates who are well rounded. By this, we mean that though they will definitely see your marks, they’ll also want to know what extra-curricular activities you took part in, whether you participated in any competitions, whether you ever helped to organize any of these fests, etc. Winning is not as important as participation. Especially try to engage in technical competitions. You can list them on your resume and the experience you gain from them will be unmatched. Where else are you going to have a taste of what it’s like to take part in a ‘real world’ kind of a scenario? Plus it’s like brownie points on your resume if you manage to win a few competitions.

And all this while, you’re meeting new people, networking, showcasing your talent without being too conscious about it. For all you know, you may get an offer for a job from a judge who was very impressed with you. Or maybe someone likes your project well enough that they ask you to develop it and then they buy it from you.

If you’re one of the students, who, thrives on organization and loves to organize these fests and make sure everything runs smoothly, you’re in luck. You have excellent leadership and administrative skills. These are going to take you places once you graduate. Managing crowds isn’t an easy task, but your skills are already in place. Things like getting sponsors, visiting other colleges, getting the printers’ to give the banners and pamphlets on time, designing the artwork – it’s all going to help you in your near future.

So you’re definitely making an impression! Make a great lasting one and watch your career shine. And the next time anyone cribs about you taking part in too many fests, make them read this article.

I have made the forums live again after some changes. Forums are a great way to share information and connect with each other. Make full use of them.

Let me know if you have any suggestions like what catogories you want to see in the forum. As of now only the years of engineering are listed in the forums.

I am going to add the various disciplines offered as forums with sub forums for each year.  The question I face is that the general forums for year second to final year will not be very active but I think we would still need them for common collaborations. So I wil let them be for now.

I have been working on a simple logo/banner for Mumbai University Engineering community (muengg.com) and I have the first version.

mumbai university engineering community banner

Why I call it the first version? Because I want your feedback, what do you think? I was aiming for simplicity. This is more like a banner and  I am still looking for a logo. If you have any suggestions let me know via comments (with your real email id, so I can get in touch) or by using the contact us form.

Thanks,

Admin, Mumbai University Engineering community.

Update 1: I added the banner to the site.
