Preamble:
To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, the issue of quality needs to be
addressed, debated and 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 be ing 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
curriculum development. Faculty of Technology, University of Mumbai, in one of its mee ting
unanimously resolved that, each Board of Studies shall prepare some Program Educational Objectives
(PEOs) and give freedom to affiliated Institutes to add few (PEOs). It is also resolved that course
objectives and course outcomes are to be clearly def ined for each course, so that all faculty members
in affiliated institutes understand the depth and approach of course to be taught, which will enhance
learner’s learning process. It was also resolved that, maximum senior faculty from colleges and 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 and developed curriculum
accordingly. In addition to outcome -based education, semeste r-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 implementing the system through its affiliated Institutes and F aculty of Technology has devised
a transparent credit assignment policy and adopted ten points scales to grade learner’s performance.
Credit assignment for courses is based on 15 weeks teaching learning process, however content of
courses is to be taught i n 12 -13 weeks and remaining 2 -3 weeks to be utilized for revision, guest
lectures, coverage of content beyond syllabus etc. Choice based Credit and grading system is
implemented from the academic year 2016 -17 through optional courses at department and inst itute
level. This will be effective for SE, TE and BE from academic year 2017 - 18, 2018 -19 and 2019 -20
respectively.

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 challeng e,
the issue of quality needs to be addressed, debated 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 o f 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 curriculu m development. As the Chairman, Board of
Studies in Civil Engineering of the University of Mumbai, I am happy to state here that, the Program
Educational Objectives for Undergraduate Program were finalized in a brain storming session, which
was attended by more than 40 members from different affiliated Institutes of the University. They are
either Heads of Departments or their senior representatives from the Department of Civil Engineering.
The Program Educational Objectives finalized for the undergraduate program in Civil Engineering are
listed below; 1. To prepare the Learner with a sound foundation in the mathematical, scientific and
engineering fundamentals 2. To motivate the Learner in the art of self -learning and to use modern tools
for solving real li fe problems 3. To inculcate a professional and ethical attitude, good leadership
qualities and commitment to social responsibilities in the Learner’s thought process 4. To prepare the
Learner for a successful career in Indian and Multinational Organisation s In addition to Program
Educational Objectives, for each course of the 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 th at even a small step taken in the right direction will definitely help in
providing quality education to the major stakeholders.

Rationale
All civil engineering structures rest on ground i.e. supported by soil and rock. Rock is rarely occurring
and hence mostly the supporting medium is soil. Hence the stability of structure depends on the stability
of supporting medium. Therefore, geotechnica l analysis is required to be carried out. Geotechnical
analysis depends on the basics of physical properties which are useful for determining the strength,
compressibility, drainage etc. The soil mechanics is the basic tool for geotechnical engineering whi ch is
the specialized section of civil engineering. Soil is also used as construction material to make various
civil structures, viz., dams, embankment etc. Thus, it is very essential to understand various concepts
involved in this course of Geotechnical E ngineering -I

Rationale
Building service systems are complex. They are typically a major source of cost & potential coordination
problems in building construction. Fundamental knowledge of how mechanical, electrical, plumbing &
other systems work & interact is important to the construction professional. This course provides an
introduction to building service systems which include the study of design, interfaces & specifications
of various building services in building construction for an existing building to be in a good condition,
so that it can continue to perform the intended functions, maintenance of the building plays a key role.
Adequate maintenance improves aesthetic &functional values. Moreover; it facilitates extending the
building life & ensures the safety of dwellers. Usually, the structures do perform well for about 50 years
after the construction & thereafter, the deterioration begins. Insufficient maintenance & lack of repairs
may lead to the limited life span of the struc ture. However, the regular maintenance & timely
identification of deteriorated building elements for proper remedial measures may result in to the
extension of life span of the structure up to 100 years also. The course deals with the building
maintenance, special materials, concrete repair chemicals, strengthening of RCC members by
underpinning, plate bonding, shoring, RC jacketing, etc. Technical knowhow and skills developed
through this course may be helpful to preserve the historical buildings. Fire saf ety is to be studied in
order to safeguard the building from fire damage.
