University of Mumbai, ME (Mechanical) Product Design and Development, Rev 2016 2 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 , Faculty of Technology of
University of Mumbai has taken a lead in incorporating philosophy of outcome based education in
the process of curricul um 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 (PEOs) , give freedom to
Affiliated Institutes to add few (PEOs) , course objectives course outcomes to be clearly defined for
each course, so that all faculty members in affiliated institutes understand the depth of 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 are 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 and 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 and not in teaching. It also focuses on continuous evaluation which will enhance the
quality of education. University of Mumbai has taken a lead in imple menting the system through its
affiliated Institutes. Faculty of Technology has devised a transparent credit assignment policy,
adopting a ten point scale to grade learner’s performance. Choice Based Credit and Grading System
is implemented for Master of Engineering from the academic year 2016 -2017.

University of Mumbai, ME (Mechanical) Product Design and Development, Rev 2016 3 Chairman ’s Preamble:
Engineering education in India is expanding and is set to increase manifold. The major challenge in
the current scenario is to ensure quality to the stakeholders along with expansion. To meet this
challenge, the issue of quality needs to be addressed, deba ted and taken forward in a systematic
manner. Accreditation is the principal means of quality assurance in higher education and reflects the
fact that in achieving recognition, the institution or program of study is committed and 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 essentially a range of skills and 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 the philosophy of outcome based education in the process of curriculum
development.
As the Chairman, Board of Studies i n Mechanical Engineering of University of the Mumbai, I am
happy to state here that, the Program Educational Objectives for Postgraduate Program were
finalized in a brain storming session, which was attended by more than 20 members from different
affiliate d Institutes of the University. They are either Heads of Departments or their senior
representatives from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The Program Educational
Objectives finalized for the postgraduate program in Mechanical Engineering are list ed below;
1. To prepare the Learner with a sound foundation in the mathematical, scientific and
engineering fundamentals.
2. To prepare the Learner to use modern tools effectively in order to solve real life problems.
3. To prepare the Learner for a successful c areer in Indian and Multinational Organisations
4. To encourage and motivate the Learner in the art of self -learning.
5. To inculcate a professional and ethical attitude, good leadership qualities and commitment to
social responsibilities in the Learner’s thou ght process.
In addition to the above, 2 to 3 more program educational objectives of their own may be added by
affiliated Institutes.
In addition to Program Educational Objectives, for each course of postgraduate program, objectives
and expected outcomes from a learner’s point of view are also included in the curriculum to support
the philosophy of outcome based education. I strongly believe that even a small step taken in the
right direction will definitely help in providing quality education to the majo r stake holders.
