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 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 Science and Technology (i n particular Engineering)of University 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 affilia ted institutes understand the depth and
approach of course to be taught, which will enhance learner’s learning process. Choice
based Credit and grading system enables a much-requ ired shift in focus from teacher-centric
to learner-centric education since the workload est imated 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 cou rses is based on 15 weeks teaching
learning process, however content of courses is to be taught in 12-13 weeks and remaining
2-3 weeks to be utilized for revision, guest lectur es, 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 program, which led to
heavily loading of students in terms of direct cont act hours. In this regard, faculty of science
and technology resolved that to minimize the burden of contact hours, total credits of entire program
will be of 171, wherein focus is not only on provid ing knowledge but also on building skills, attitude
and self learning. Therefore in the present curricu lum skill based laboratories and mini projects are
made mandatory across all disciplines of engineerin g in second and third year of programs, which will
definitely facilitate self learning of students. Th e overall credits and approach of curriculum propos ed
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 ca rried forward for Third Year and Final
Year Engineering in the academic years 2021-22, 202 2-23, 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 opportuniti es are provided to learners. In the revision proces s
this time in particular Revised syllabus of ‘C’ Sch eme wherever possible additional resource links
of platforms such as NPTEL, Swayam are appropriatel y provided. In an earlier revision of
curriculum in the year 2012 and 2016 in Revised sch eme ‘A’ and ‘B’ respectively, efforts were
made to use online contents more appropriately as a dditional learning materials to enhance 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
sufficient time for self learning either through on line courses or additional projects for enhancing
their knowledge and 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 pla tforms such as NPTEL/ Swayam. Learners can be
advised to take up online courses, on successful co mpletion they are required to submit certification
for the same. This will definitely help learners to facilitate their enhanced learning based on their
interest.

Preface
When the entire world is discussing about ‘Industry 4.0’, we are at the crossroads. There are so many
expectations from the graduating engineers, who sha ll be the major contributors to ecosystem for
development of the Nation. Engineering education i n India, in general, is being revamped so as to
impart the theoretical knowledge along with industr ial exposure. It is our attempt, when we are
introducing a new curriculum; to bridge the industr y-academia gap. To enable this, we have introduced
components such as skill-based laboratories and pro ject-based learning. We trust that this will allow the
learner to apply knowledge gained in previous and c urrent semesters to solve problems for gaining
better understanding. What once were pure mechanica l systems have now been transformed into
multidisciplinary systems of mechatronics, electron ics and computer science. Interdisciplinary
knowledge is gaining importance as we are moving to wards automated world as technology advances.
Keeping this in mind the curriculum has been design ed in a way so that learner shall be acquainted wit h
many Interdisciplinary subjects.

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 for Undergraduate Program were finalized in a brain storming session, which was attended
by several faculty members and Industry experts. Th e Program Educational Objectives proposed for the
undergraduate program in Mechanical 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 nee ds.
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 solut ions 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 trust thi s
revised version of syllabus come up to the expectat ions of all stakeholders. We wish to place on reco rd
our sincere thanks and appreciations to the various contributors from the academia and industry for th eir
most learned inputs in framing this syllabus.
