PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES (PSOs)

Graduates of B.Tech in Civil Engineering Programme shall be able to

1. Structural Optimization: PSO can be applied to optimize the design of civil engineering structures such as bridges, buildings, and dams. By defining design parameters such as material properties, cross-sectional dimensions, and geometrical configurations, PSO can search for the optimal combination that minimizes cost, weight, or maximizes structural performance metrics such as strength, stiffness, or durability. PSO algorithms can efficiently explore the vast design space and find near-optimal solutions for complex structural systems.
2. Traffic Signal Control: PSO can be used to optimize traffic signal timings in urban traffic management systems. By considering factors such as traffic flow, congestion levels, and vehicle queues at intersections, PSO algorithms can dynamically adjust signal timings to minimize travel time, reduce congestion, and improve overall traffic efficiency. Optimizing traffic signal control using PSO can lead to significant improvements in traffic flow, reducing delays and fuel consumption, and enhancing safety for road users.
3. Hydraulic Network Design: PSO can be employed for optimizing the design and operation of water distribution and sewage systems in civil engineering projects. By considering parameters such as pipe diameters, pump locations, valve settings, and reservoir capacities, PSO algorithms can optimize the layout and configuration of hydraulic networks to meet demand requirements while minimizing energy consumption, pressure losses, and construction costs. PSO-based approaches enable engineers to design efficient and sustainable water distribution and sewage systems that ensure reliable supply, reduce leakages, and mitigate environmental impacts.
