(Water Resources Engineering)
(As per Choice Based Credit and Grading System
with effect from the academic year 2016-2017)

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 emphasis of accreditation process is to measure the outcomes of the program that is being accredited. In line with this Facul ty of Technology of University of Mumbai has
taken a lead in incorporating philosophy of outcome based education in the process of curriculum 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 institute s 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 t hat, 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 education since the workload estimated is based on the investment of time in learning not
in teaching. It also focuses on cont inuous evaluation which will enhance the quality 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 sc ale to grade
learner‘s performance. Credit grading based system was implemented for Master of Engineering from the
academic year 2016 -2017.

Preamble
The engineering education in India in general is expanding in manifolds. Now, the challenge is to ensure
its quality to the stakeholders along with the ex pansion. To meet this challenge, 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 reflects the fact that in achieving recognition, the in stitution or
program of study is committed open to external review to meet certain minimum specified standards. The major emphasis of this accreditation process is to measure the outcomes of the program that is being
accredited. Program outcomes are essent ially a range of skills knowledge that a student will have at the
time of graduation from the program. 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 curriculum
development.
I am happy to state here that, Program Educational Objectives were finalized in a meeting where syllabus
committee members were also present. The Program Educational Objectives finalized for undergraduate
program in civil Engineer ing are as follows:
1. To prepare Learner‘s with a sound foundation in the mathematical, scientific engineering
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 Indi an 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 Objectives 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 curriculum 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.
