Chapter 10: Project Planning, Design and Implementation

Syllabus: AALL10 Coverage: AALL1001 through AALL1006 Status: REVIEW first edition; current Nepal legal, regulatory, taxation, registration, and penalty details are visibly flagged VERIFY against current official consolidated Act/Regulations Exam use: Engineering drawing facts, economics decision rules, CPM/PERT calculations, project-management concepts, professional-practice recognition, and safe legal-regulatory revision cues

Chapter map

Code Title Fast recognition cue
AALL1001 Engineering drawings and its concepts Sheet sizes, scale, orthographic, isometric, section
AALL1002 Engineering Economics Cash flow, NPV, IRR, MARR, depreciation
AALL1003 Project planning and scheduling Life cycle, bar chart, CPM, PERT, resource control
AALL1004 Project management Risk, financing, tender, contract, information system
AALL1005 Engineering professional practice Ethics, OHS, environment, society, NEA roles
AALL1006 Engineering Regulatory Body NEC Act and Regulations with official-verification caution

Chapter rapid-revision sheet

Topic Must-remember point
A0 sheet 841 x 1189 mm and area 1 square meter
A4 sheet 210 x 297 mm
Orthographic projection Multiview and true dimensions on principal planes
Isometric view Pictorial view with equal axis emphasis
NPV rule Accept if NPV is positive at chosen discount rate
IRR Discount rate making NPV zero
MARR Minimum acceptable return threshold
Straight-line depreciation \((C-S)/n\)
CPM Deterministic durations and critical path
PERT expected time \((a+4m+b)/6\)
Resource levelling May change finish date
Resource smoothing Uses float to even resources without changing finish if possible
Risk responses Avoid, mitigate, transfer, accept
Tender Bid invitation and evaluation process
OHS hierarchy Elimination strongest, PPE last
NEC legal facts Exact dates, categories, penalties, and composition require official verification

Model-paper audit

  • Coverage target range: 055-060 and 097-100.
  • 055: drawing question. Expect A-series sheet fact, projection distinction, or section-view cue.
  • 056: economics question. Expect NPV, IRR, MARR, payback, or depreciation concept.
  • 057: planning/scheduling question. Expect CPM, PERT, or resource-control distinction.
  • 058: project-management question. Expect risk, tender, financing, or contract idea.
  • 059: professional-practice question. Expect ethics, OHS, environment, or association-versus-regulator distinction.
  • 060: regulatory-body question. Treat exact Nepal legal facts as VERIFY against current official consolidated Act/Regulations before committing them to memory.
  • 097-100: later model questions often mix concept recall with practical interpretation. Time-sensitive Nepal legal or tax claims in these items must be checked against current official sources.
  • Do not falsely mark current NEC Act, Regulations, taxation, or registration details as verified unless checked from current official documents.

Sources and verification note

  • Primary coverage authority: syllab.md Chapter 10 (AALL1001 to AALL1006).
  • Style and scope anchor: notes/01-basic-electrical-electronics/ and notes/PLAN.md.
  • Technical baseline used here: standard engineering drawing, engineering economics, project management, professional ethics, and OHS principles commonly taught in undergraduate engineering.
  • Nepal-specific legal, regulatory, registration, taxation, and penalty details are intentionally not asserted as current facts unless they are stable general concepts; exact current claims must be VERIFY against current official consolidated Act/Regulations or the current official tax/legal source as applicable.
  • These notes are revision notes for MCQ recognition, not a substitute for checking the latest official Nepal legal and regulatory texts.
