(As per Choice Based Credit & Grading System ( CBCGS)
With effect from the Academic Year 2016-2017 )
From Co- ordinator’s Desk: -
To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, th e 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 emphasis of accreditation process is t o
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 o f curriculum development.
Faculty of Technology, University of Mumbai, in one of its meeting unanimousl y resolved that, each Board of Studies shall prepare some Program
EduĐatioŶal OďjeĐtiǀes ;PEO’sͿ giǀe freedoŵ to affiliated IŶstitutes to add feǁ ;PEO’sͿ Đourse objectives course outcomes to be clearly defined for
each course, so that all faculty members in affiliated institutes und erstand the depth approach of course to be taught, which ǁill eŶhaŶĐe learŶer’s
learning process. It was also resolved that, maximum senior faculty from colleges experts fro m industry to be involved while revising the curriculum.
I am happy to state that, each Board of studies has adhered to the resolu tions 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 System enables a much-required shift in f ocus 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 quali ty of
education. University of Mumbai has taken a lead in implementing the system through its affiliated Institutes. Faculty of Technology has devised a
traŶspareŶt Đredit assigŶŵeŶt poliĐy adopted teŶ poiŶts sĐale to grade learŶer’s perforŵaŶĐe. Credit gradiŶg ďased systeŵ ǁas implemented for

Preamble
The engineering education in India in general is expanding in manifolds. Now, the challenge is to ensure its qualit y to the stakeholders along with
the expansion. To meet this challenge, the issue of quality needs to be addressed, debated taken for ward in a systematic manner. Accreditation is
the principal means of quality assurance in higher education reflects the fact that in achieving recognition, the institution or program of study is
committed open to external review to meet certain minimum specified standards. The major emphasis of this accreditati on process is to measure
the outcomes of the program that is being accredited. Program outcomes are essentially a range of skills knowledge that a students will have at
the time of graduation from the program. In line with this Faculty of Technology of University of Mum bai has taken a lead in incorporating
philosophy of outcome based education in the process of curriculum development.
I am happy to state here that, Program Educational Objectives were finalized in a meeting wher e syllabus committee members were also present.
The Program Educational Objectives finalized for undergraduate program in civil Engineering are as follows:
1. To prepare Learner’s with a sound foundation in the mathematical, scientific eng ineering fundamentals
2. To prepare Learner’s to use effectively modern tools to solve real life problems
3. To prepare Learner’s for successful career in Indian Multinational Organisations to excel in Postgraduate studies
4. To encourage motivate Learner’s for self-learning
5. To inculcate professional ethical attitude, good leadership qualities commitment to social responsibilities in the Learner’ s
In addition to above each institute is free to add few (2 to 3) more Program Educational Objective s of their own. In addition to Program
Educational Objectives, course objectives expected course outcomes from learner’s point of view are also included in the curr iculum for each
course of undergraduate program to support the philosophy of outcome based education. I believe strongly that small step taken in right direction
will definitely help in providing quality education to the stake holders.
