A mechanical or electrical technician is expected to look after many activities at work place, which may be interdisciplinary, for example if he/she has to mount a heavy
machine, he should be able to supervise the preparation of foundation for it, which requires the knowledge of civil engg. Therefore he/she is supposed to be exposed to very
basics of civil engineering. This course mainly encompasses the major and general areas of civil engineering, knowledge of which may be required by mechanical and electrical engineers/technicians.
