Thus, the objective of this course is to provide the civil engineering students with (i) the
mathematical and physical principles of the theory of elasticity, and (ii) various solution
strategies while applying these to practical problems.
As a result, students will develop a clear understanding of the basic principles; as well as an
ability to use them for the real life problems. This shall be achieved through a research and
project oriented teaching-learning process.
Course Contents:

Methodology: Course will be delivered using a research and project based teaching –learning
methodology. Teaching will be supported by lectures, tutorials, while the learning will be
continuously assessed (CA) using class home-take exams (HTE), class tests, term work,
presentation, viva-voce, and final exam, the corresponding mark distribution is shown
tabulated below. Grading will be carried online as per MU guidelines. Perfect and punctual
attendance is expected-students below 85% attendance will not be examined and evaluated.
