Live project based learning in civil engineering involves engaging students in real world
projects that reflect actual industry practices. Instead of just theoretical knowledge,
students apply what they learn to projects that reduce complexities of real construction
and design tasks. This hands-on approach not only enhances technical skills but also
builds teamwork, problem solving, and project management abilities, preparing students
for the dynamic demands of the civil engineering industry.
How does CISAT integrate live project based learning?
CISAT offers civil engineering courses that integrate live project based learning. By
collaborating with industry leaders and experts, CISAT ensures that students work on
real world projects throughout their courses. These projects span several critical aspects
of civil engineering, including Building Information Modeling (BIM), Quantity Surveying
(QS), and Interior and Exterior Visualization. This collaboration enables students to gain
practical experience and industry insights while still pursuing their academic studies.
What are the key courses offered under live project based learning at
CISAT?
BIM (Building Information Modeling)
This course provides hands-on experience with BIM software, enabling students to work
on 3D,4D, 5D and virtual simulations that are used in real world construction projects.
QS (Quantity Survey)
Students learn how to measure, estimate, and manage costs related to construction
projects. Live projects help students understand the process of budgeting, scheduling,
and project costing in real time.
IEVC (Interior & Exterior Visualization Course)
This course focuses on the creative and technical aspects of visualizing both interior and
exterior spaces. Students engage in live projects that require designing, modeling, and
presenting realistic visualizations for construction plans.
How does live project based learning benefit students in these courses?
Live project-based learning offers numerous benefits :
● Practical Knowledge-Students apply theoretical concepts in real-world scenarios,
which deepens their understanding and makes them job-ready.
● Industry Exposure- Through live projects, students collaborate with industry
professionals and gain insights into the latest trends, technologies, and challenges in
civil engineering.
● Skill Development-Students develop key skills such as project management, problem
solving, communication, and teamwork.
● Portfolio Creation- Students can showcase completed projects in their portfolios,
which is invaluable for job applications and future career opportunities.
