From Co ordinator’s Desk: -
To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, the issue of quality needs to be addressed, debated
taken forward in a systematic manner. Accreditation is the principal means of quality assurance in higher education. The
major emphas is of accreditation process is to measure the outcomes of the program that is being accredited. In line with
this Faculty of Technology of University of Mumbai has taken a lead in incorporating philosophy of outcome based
education in the process of curric ulum development.
Faculty of Technology, University of Mumbai, in one of its meeting s unanimously resolved that, each Board of Studies
shall prepare some Program Educational Objectives (PEO‟s) , give freedom to affiliated Institutes to add few (PEO‟s)
course objectives course outcomes to be clearly defined for each course, so that all faculty members in affiliated institutes
understand the depth approach of course to be taught, which will enhance learner‟s learning process. It was also resolved
that, maximu m senior faculty from colleges and experts from industry should to be involved while revising the
curriculum. I am happy to state that, each Board of studies has adhered to the resolutions passed by Faculty of
Technology, developed curriculum accordingly. In addition to outcome based education, Choice Based Credit and
Grading System is also introduced to ensure quality of engineering education.
Choice Based Credit and Grading S ystem enables a much -required shift in focus from teacher -centric to learner -centric
education since the workload estimated is based on the investment of time in learning not in teaching. It also focuses on
continuous evaluation which will enhance the quality of education. University of Mumbai has taken a lead in
implementi ng the system through its affiliated Institutes . Faculty of Technology has devised a transparent credit
assignment policy adopted ten points scale to grade learner‟s performance. Credit grading based system was implemented
for First Year of B. Pharmacy from the academic year 201 6-2017. Subsequently this system is being carried forward for
Second Year B. Pharmacy in the academic year 201 7-2018, and will be carried f orward for Third Year and Final Year B.
Pharmacy in the academic years 2018 -2019, 2019-2020 , respectively.
