From Coordinator’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 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) cours e 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, maximum senior faculty from
colleges experts from industry 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 qual ity of education.
University of Mumbai has taken a lead in implementing 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 is implemented for First Year of M.E. in
Chemical Engineering from the academic year 201 6-2017. Subsequently this system will be carried
forward for Second Year of M.E. in Chemical Engineering in the academic year 201 7-2018.

Preamble to the Revision of Syllabus in Chemical Engineering

Today Chemical Engineering has advanced in various areas like nontechnology, nuclear engineering, and
biotechnology , apart from traditional areas like petroleum, polymer and pharmaceutical Industry. To match the
increasing pace of development in all field s including Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology there is demand on
academician to upgrade the curriculum in Education. There is also an incredible amount of content, in a variety of
formats, available on the net. The availability of free software such a s Scilab and COCO vastly expands our
boundaries of learning. Hence, the Postgraduate Curriculum in Chemical Engineering must provide the necessary
foundation for a Chemical Engineer to be able to specialize in any area as and when the need and opportunity arise.

The Curriculum must integrate knowledge of the basic and advanced sciences with problem s olving abilities. It must
cultivate a willingness to face open -ended problems with adequate data. The Curriculum must be broad enough to
cover all areas from design to operation of Process plants. It should be deep enough to enable the learners to carry
out research and develop products to meet rapidly changing needs and demands.

With these objectives, inputs from experts from leading institutions and faculty tea ching the post graduate courses, a
meeting was organized at Mahatma Gandhi Mission College of Engineering K amotee on 13th of June 2016. The
program objectives and outcomes were thoroughly discussed in this meeting and the core structure of the syllabus
was formulated keeping in mind choice based semester based credit and grading system curriculum t o be introduced
in this revised syllabus for M .E. (Chemical Engineering) for semester I, II, II and IV. Views from experts and PG
teachers were taken into consideration and final draft was prepared with the consent of all the members involved.
