1. Although 5 students have been given the same 2 questions, each student should write their OWN ANSWERS.

2. Students are required to submit their assignment on Ruled Bond Pages ONLY.
3. Each student has been given 1 Civil question and 1 Mechanical question. The answer to EACH QUESTION should
be between 400 to 500 words. Your answers SHOULD contain one or more sketches.
4. The assignment has a total of 10 marks: 5 marks for Civil & 5 marks for Mechanical.
5. If it is found that a student has copied the answers from another student then BOTH students will lose marks
due to lack of uniqueness of answers. Students are required to do their own independent research and write the
answers in their own words. COPYING FROM ANOTHER STUDENT IS NOT ALLOWED.
6. Before answering the assingment - Write down the assignment question on the top of the page. Each section
(Civil & Mechanical) should start on a new page.
7. Mention your name & class on the top right-hand side corner of the first page. Staple your bond pages together
before submission.
