CE1303 RAILWAYS, AIRPORTS AND DOCKS & HARBOURS 4 0 0 100
OBJECTIVE
This course imparts the students knowledge of planning, design, construction and maintenance of railway tracks. The students acquire proficiency in the application of modern techniques such as GIS, GPS and remote sensing in Railway Engineering. The student develops skills on airport planning and design with the prime focus on runway and taxiway geometrics. Students become conversant with the definition, purpose, location and materials of coastal structures such as piers, breakwaters, wharves, jetties, quays and spring fenders. The students acquire knowledge on site investigation for location and planning of harbours.
