Preamble
To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in eng ineering education, the issue of quality needs
to be addressed, debated and taken forward in a sys tematic 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 a ccredited. In line with this Faculty of Science
and Technology (in particular Engineering) of Unive rsity of Mumbai has taken a lead in
incorporating philosophy of outcome based education in the process of curriculum development.
Faculty resolved that course objectives and course outcomes are to be clearly defined for each
course, so that all faculty members in affiliated i nstitutes understand the depth and approach of
course to be taught, which will enhance learner’s l earning process. Choice based Credit and
grading system enables a much-required shift in foc us 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.
Credit assignment for courses is based on 15 weeks teaching learning process, however content of
courses is to be taught in 12-13 weeks and remainin g 2-3 weeks to be utilized for revision, guest
lectures, coverage of content beyond syllabus etc.
There was a concern that the earlier revised curric ulum more focused on providing information
and knowledge across various domains of the said pr ogram, which led to heavily loading of
students in terms of direct contact hours. In this regard, faculty of science and technology resolved that
to minimize the burden of contact hours, total cred its of entire program will be of 171, wherein focus is not
only on providing knowledge but also on building sk ills, attitude and self learning. Therefore in the present
curriculum skill based laboratories and mini projec ts are made mandatory across all disciplines of
engineering in second and third year of programs, w hich will definitely facilitate self learning of st udents.
The overall credits and approach of curriculum prop osed in the present revision is in line with AICTE
model curriculum.
The present curriculum will be implemented for Seco nd Year of Engineering from the academic
year 2020-21. Subsequently this will be carried for ward for Third Year and Final Year
Engineering in the academic years 2021-22, 2022-23, respectively.

Incorporation and implementation of Online Contents from NPTEL/ Swayam
Platform

The curriculum revision is mainly focused on knowle dge component, skill based activities and project
based activities. Self learning opportunities are p rovided to learners. In the revision process this t ime in
particular Revised syllabus of ‘C ‘ scheme wherever possible additional resource links of platforms su ch
as NPTEL, Swayam are appropriately provided. In an earlier revision of curriculum in the year 2012 and
2016 in Revised scheme ‘A' and ‘B' respectively, ef forts were made to use online contents more
appropriately as additional learning materials to e nhance learning of students.
In the current revision based on the recommendation of AICTE model curriculum overall credits are
reduced to 171, to provide opportunity of self lear ning to learner. Learners are now getting sufficien t time
for self learning either through online courses or additional projects for enhancing their knowledge a nd
skill sets.
The Principals/ HoD’s/ Faculties of all the institu te are required to motivate and encourage learners to use
additional online resources available on platforms such as NPTEL/ Swayam. Learners can be advised to
take up online courses, on successful completion th ey are required to submit certification for the sam e.
This will definitely help learners to facilitate th eir enhanced learning based on their interest.

Preface
Engineering education in India, in general, is bein g revamped so as to impart the theoretical knowledg e
along with industrial exposure. It is our attempt, when we are introducing a new curriculum; to bridg e the
industry-academia gap. To enable this, we have int roduced components such as skill-based laboratories
and project-based learning. We trust that this wil l allow the learner to apply knowledge gained in
previous and current semesters to solve problems fo r gaining better understanding. What once were pure
mechanical systems have now been transformed into m ultidisciplinary systems of mechatronics,
electronics and computer science. Interdisciplinary knowledge is gaining importance as we are moving
towards automated world as technology advances. Kee ping this in mind the curriculum has been designed
in a way so that learner shall be acquainted with m any Interdisciplinary subjects.
Automobile Engineering is one of the fastest growin g sectors, with lots of inventions and innovations
happening. The graduating Automobile Engineers can contribute in the areas such as engines,
transmission, safety and stability, energy and alte rnate energy etc. The challenges for our budding
engineers would be manifold, when electric vehicles are already gaining popularity and driverless cars
becoming a reality.
Engineers develop new technological solutions. Duri ng the engineering design process, the
responsibilities of the engineer may include defini ng problems, conducting and narrowing research,
analyzing criteria, finding and analyzing solutions , and making decisions. The Program Educational
Objectives proposed for the undergraduate program i n Automobile Engineering are listed below;
1. To prepare the stake holder to exhibit leadership q ualities with demonstrable attributes in lifelong
learning to contribute to the societal needs.
2. To make ready the stake holder to pursue higher edu cation for professional development
3. To help the stake holder to acquire the analytical and technical skills, knowledge, analytical ability
attitude and behavior through the program
4. To prepare the stakeholders with a sound foundation in the mathematical, scientific and
engineering fundamentals
5. To motivate the learner in the art of self-learning and to use modern tools for solving real life
problems and also inculcate a professional and ethi cal attitude and good leadership qualities
6. To Prepare the stake holder to able to Design solu tions for complex engineering problems and
design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate
consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental
considerations.
We trust this revised version of syllabus come up t o the expectations of all stakeholders. We wish to
place on record our sincere thanks and appreciation s to the various contributors from the academia and
industry for their most learned inputs in framing t his syllabus.
