In this post we have posted some notes on CE8702 RAILWAYS, AIRPORTS, DOCKS AND HARBOUR ENGINEERING of PROFESSIONAL CORE for ANNA UNIVERSITY AFFILIATED COLLEGES STUDENTS. 

Here We have listed the the notes whichever we could collect for HS8151 COMMUNICATIVE ENGLISH subject, We think that it will be helpful for your exam preparation.

👉 To introduce the students about Railways planning, design, construction and maintenance

and planning design principles of airport and harbour
