    There is not a simple answer to your question. It depends on what type of engineering you are studying. The best advice is to read some job advertisements for graduate engineering jobs. Note down what skills are requested. Some of these will be addressed by your engineering program. Other skills you can build on the side. These include communication and collaboration skills.

    Engineers spend 60% of their time communicating and <20% of their time doing technical stuff. Your engineering program will do a very good job of developing your technical skills but it’s the social skills of collaboration that will determine your ultimate success in the workplace. So, work hard at all those group projects. Figure out what it takes to get everyone engaged. One day, this will be a vital skill in your workplace.

    India metro rail project :

    In today’s technological world, an ongoing large construction project is India metro rail project.

    Here I will be discussing on India metro rail project in detail.

    Introduction :

    New metro rail (that is Subway) systems present are in under construction and bringing about so many changes in more than 15 Indian cities.

    Important key figures :

    • Length of the operational rout: 673.2 kilometre
    •  length of under construction route: 467.87 km
    • Length of the approved route: 457.56 km

    Interesting fact:

    • First oldest metro rail system: Kolkata Metro
    • Newest metro rail system: Nagpur Metro
    • Largest metro system: Delhi Metro
    • Smallest metro system: Ahmedabad Metro

    Functions:

    1. Earth Retaining Wall: Resist lateral pressure due to any material hold back by the wall. Used to retain soil, resist soil to flow in slopes, provides strong and stiff structure.
    2. Boundary wall: This type of wall used to protect home, gardens or any construction from surrounding hazards(like animals, theifs etc). This also provides to maintain privacy to the building.
    3. Load Bearing Wall: As the name suggests, it is used to bear loads from the upper structure and transfer to lower structure (i.e beam, slab, column and foundation).These walls used in load-bearing structures.
    4. Non Load bearing wall: It is simply a partition wall, used to maintain privacy between rooms and blocks. It does not take any load. Partition walls may be constructed after construction according to the demand of the owner

    Nearly 80% of carbon emission is due to building construction.

    With the help of some following points construction sector can definitely reduce carbon emission :

    • Every building should be implemented carbon capture and storage(CCS) technology in their building.
    •  Construct that type of building which consume very less amount of energy
    • Any kind of building either it is residential or commercial, it should be used renewable energy source.

    Carbon capture and storage (CCS) Technology :

    • Can capture carbon dioxide emission and store it permanently, hence CO2 don’t into the atmosphere and it is not responsible for climate change

    The physical tests to be conducted for fly ash at the site

    The intensity of these processes depends largely on
    the ash fineness (particle size and particle size
    distribution) so that the pozzolanic reactivity increases
    with the specific surface of the ash. International standard
    ASTM C 311 describes the procedures of chemical and
    physical methods for characterization of fly ash, and
    standard ASTM C 618 provides chemical and physical
    criteria related to classification.

    all samples of ash that were for seven days exposed in a
    humid environment contains a substantial amount of
    amorphous glassy-matter, but also crystal phase of
    feldspar, melilite, mullite, very little anhydrite and
    quartz is present. In the specimens that were
    subjected for 28 days besides the already mentioned
    minerals a trace of calcite occurs in the sample;

     low-cost housing

    Definition :

    An innovative concept in which effective budgeting is taken into account by using some technologies which reduce the cost of construction effectively.

    Important parameters considered in low-cost housing :

    • Building construction material used in low-cost housing for construction depends upon the locality of that area.
    • The method of low-cost housing construction also depends upon the skilled labour availability in that region
    • We should choose wisely in building construction material and method of construction without compromising the strength durability and performance of the structure
    • There is a huge misconception that low-cost housing is only suitable for low substandard works and very cheap quality construction material is used
    • Reality is that low-cost housing should be done by proper management of various resources
    • Economic can be achieved by postponing the finishing work.
