From the 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 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, 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 System enables a much -required shift in focus from teacher -
centric to learner -centric educatio n 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 implementing the system through it s affiliated
Institutes. Faculty of Technology has devised a transparent credit assignment policy adopted ten points scale to grade learner’s performance. Choice Based Credit and Grading System is being implemented for
Master of Engineering from the acade mic year 2016 -2017.

Preamble

Quality of education is one of the major factors to contribute to the growth of a nation and
subsequently quality of education is largely decided by the syllabi of the Educational Programme and its
proper implementation. In order to make M.E (Electronics) Engineering programme of University of
Mumbai rich in quality, revision of the syllabi is being undertaken as per the guidelines of University of
Mumbai. While deciding the core courses and department level optional courses, inputs from various
stake holders were taken into account. The exposure to the latest technology and tools used all over the
world is giv en by properly selecting courses and their hierarchy in the programme curriculum. Thus this
syllabus is made to groom the postgraduate students to be made competent in all respect with best possible efforts put in by the experts in framing detailed content s of individual courses.
I, as a Chairman, Board of Studies in Civil Engineering of the University of Mumbai, am happy
to state here that, heads of the department and senior faculty from various institutes took timely and
valuable initiative to frame the Program Educational Objectives as listed below as per National Board of
Accreditation (NBA) guidelines.
1. To provide students with a strong foundation in the mathematical, scientific and engineering
fundamentals necessary to formulate, solve and analyze engineering problems and to prepare them for graduate studies.
2. To prepare students to demonstrate an ability to identify, formulate and solve electronics engineering problems.
3. To prepare students to demonstrate ability to design electrical and elect ronics systems and conduct
experiments, analyze and interpret data.
4. To prepare students to demonstrate for successful career in industry to meet needs of Indian and multi -
national companies. 5. To develop the ability among students to synthesize data and technical concepts from applications to
product design. 6. To provide opportunity for students to work as part of teams on multidisciplinary projects.
7. To promote awareness among students for the life -long learning and to introduce them to professi onal
ethics and codes of professional practice.
These are the suggested and expected main objectives and individual affiliated institute may add
further in the list. In addition to Program Educational Objectives, for each course of undergraduate
program, objectives and expected outcomes from learner’s point of view are also included in the
curriculum to support the philosophy of outcome based education. I strongly believe that small step taken
in right direction will definitely help in providing quality e ducation to the stake holders.
Finally, I express my sincere gratitude to all experts who contributed to make curriculum competent at par with latest technological development in the field of electronics engineering.
