Effort Towards Water Transport in Nepal

     Our country Nepal the first and foremost thing that we lack is the linkage to the sea. Being a landlocked country our economic aspects and trade are limited. It would be a great thing if water transport.
  The condition of our country being at such a critical position we are unable to concentrate on the development works. But there is a recent news about the government expending in the field of construction of water transport in NEPAL. According to the daily newspaper it is out that the government is conducting feasibility study of water transport along three major rivers-Koshi, Gandaki and Bheri - to increase mobility of people living along the rivers. The government has allocated Rs 10 million in the current fiscal year to prepare DPR on water transport along Koshi, Gandaki and Bheri basins and start operation of water transport in Arun and Tamor rivers. It has already conducted DPR for water transport along Arun and Tamor rivers. For More information we can log on to study about water transport and my republica news...

8th NATIONAL TECHNOLOGICAL FESTIVAL LOCUS 2011

      The "8th National Technological Festival LOCUS 2011" was organized on the date july 22-23 by a group of students from the Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering and Department of Electrical Engineering at Institute of Engineering (IOE), Pulchowk Central Campus, at the IOE, Pulchowk Campus, Lalitpur, with the theme “Competition Builds Quality.” The had targeted the engineering students and the +2 students. 

     During these two days visitors were entertained by many of the technically sound robots. Some of the robots were the chess playing robot, home appliances automation systems, talking clocks, sun tracking smart solar panels, various computer games and various other machinery. 

    With all these robots also some exciting games were also played such as fastest person to type a message and fastest to search using the google web engine e.t.c.

What is it like to read in a poor country like nepal

      After you become a holder of the degree of engineering there is not a guarantee that you get to sign in the projects or any other engineering tasks. It's i guess the toughest task to make ourselves stable in this field. Each and every year thousand and thousand of engineer get graduated and only the best will be known. For us to be practically as well as theoretically sound a kind of training is done for the students reading the bachelor's degree in engineering. This training is the must in the curriculum of the engineering field. I am the student in pokhara engineering college which comes under the pokhara university of Nepal. I have been deprived of this facility so i am feeling a little bit left out. I consolidate myself by saying mi elders also didn't have the chance to get the job training so how could i??? This job training  is costlier for the college so for them also it is not possible to do The only area of the job training at civil engineering field is the nearby field constructions and houses........ Hope the curriculum context in NEPAL changes..............

Civil Engineer

Civil engineers typically possess an academic degree with a major in civil engineering. The academic degree course is of mostly 3- 5 years. This academic course comprise of units covering physics, mathematics, project management, design and specific topics in civil engineering. Then students choose 1 specialized  subject towards the end of the degree. In most of the country Bachelor degree provide the certificate of the engineering profession. After completing a certified degree program the engineer must satisfy a range of requirements (including work experience and exam requirements) before being certified. Once certified the engineer can be registered as a professional engineer.

         Certified engineer cannot directly implement a project or carry out their engineering work in Nepal. They must have license to do the formal work like signature in the proposed drawing, in a valuation report and in a design estimate. 

Civil Engineering

According to Encyclopedia Civil engineering is a  professional engineering that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment including bridge,dam,canals and road construction. It is regarded as one of the 2nd oldest engineering in the history of engineering. It comes after the military engineering. Civil engineering takes place in different levels it takes place in the local level leading it to the national level also with the private sectors also involved in it.

                 Civil engineering as a profession is of a top choice nowadays regarding it's curriculum it covers and the aspects it touches. While we cannot say it as the only best profession in the engineering.  The many engineering field there exist are co-related because a single engineering field cannot lead a project. Thus, civil engineering field is also related or dependent on other fields also.

History of Civil Engineering

Civil engineering can be defined as the applied physical and scientific principles, and its history is very much closely linked to advances in understanding of physics and mathematicians throughout history. Because civil engineering is a wide ranging profession, including several separate specialized sub-disciplines, its history is linked to knowledge of structure, materials science, geography, geology, soils, hydrology, environment, ,mechanics and other fields.

     Throughout ancient and medieval history most architectural design and construction was carried out by artisans, such as stonemasons and carpenters, rising to the role of master builder. Structures, roads and infrastructure that existed were repetitive, and increases in scale were incremental.

     One of the oldest examples of a scientific approach to physical and mathematical problems applicable to civil engineering is the work of Archemedes in the 3rd century BC, including Archimedes Principle, which underpins our understanding of buoyancy, and practical solutions such as Archimedes Screw .

Carrer In Civil Engineering

There is no one typical career path for civil engineers. Most people who graduate with civil engineering degrees start with jobs that require a low level of responsibility, and as the new engineers prove their competence, they are trusted with tasks that have larger consequences and require a higher level of responsibility. In the context of Nepal here a beginner Engineer establish itself through a engineering consultancy where they can gain experience. However, within each branch of civil engineering career path options vary. In some fields and firms, entry-level engineers are put to work primarily monitoring construction in the field referred as a supervisor, serving as the "eyes and ears" of senior design engineers; while in other areas, entry-level engineers perform the more routine tasks of analysis or design and interpretation. Experienced engineers generally do more complex analysis or design work, or management of more complex design projects, or management of other engineer.
