Preamble

To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in eng ineering education, the issue of quality needs to b e
addressed, debated and taken forward in a systemati c manner. Accreditation is the principal means of
quality assurance in higher education. The major em phasis of accreditation process is to measure the
outcomes of the program that is being accredited. I n line with this Faculty of Science and Technology (in
particular Engineering)of University of Mumbai has taken a lead in incorporating philosophy of outcome
based education in the process of curriculum develo pment.
Faculty resolved that course objectives and course outcomes are to be clearly defined for each course, so
that all faculty members in affiliated institutes u nderstand the depth and approach of course to be ta ught,
which will enhance learner’s learning process. Choi ce based Credit and grading system enables a much-
required shift in focus from teacher-centric to lea rner-centric education since the workload estimated is
based on the investment of time in learning and not in teaching. It also focuses on continuous evaluat ion
which will enhance the quality of education. Credit assignment for courses is based on 15 weeks teachi ng
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 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 progra m, which led to heavily loading of students in term s
of direct contact hours. In this regard, faculty of science and technology resolved that to minimize t he
burden of contact hours, total credits of entire pr ogram will be of 171, wherein focus is not only on
providing knowledge but also on building skills, at titude 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 forward 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 has to prepare buddi ng minds for applying multidisciplinary knowledge
for product and process innovation. Mechatronics is a new branch of engineering introduced in Universi ty
of Mumbai from 2015, which synergistically applies the fundamentals of Mechanical, Electrical,
Electronics and Information systems engineering to develop new products and processes. Thus
Mechatronics focuses on development of products and processes that require combined application of
multiple engineering domains.

Several changes in technological trends have happen ed since the introduction of last syllabus of
Mechatronics in 2015. New avenues for synergistic a pplication of fundamentals from multiple discipline s
are opening up every day with technologies such as 3D Printing, Drones, IOT, Machine learning etc. are
becoming popular. The curriculum is designed for pr eparing the students for a career in four major foc us
areas (a) Industrial Automation, (b) Embedded Syste ms (c) Digital Design and Manufacturing (d)
Intelligent Control and Machine learning. There are upcoming career opportunities in all these domains .
A conscious effort is made to include several techn ologies that are being promoted under the Industry 4.0
revolution.

The Updated Program Educational Objectives for this syllabus revision of the undergraduate program in
Mechatronics Engineering are listed below;
1. To prepare the Learner in building technology sy stems through interdisciplinary approach.
2. To prepare the Learner to use modern tools embed ding different disciplines of engineering in order to
solve real life problems and prepare them for the f ourth industrial revolution.
3. To prepare the Learner for career in Indian and Multinational Organisations and to excel in their
Postgraduate studies; furthermore, to encourage and motivate the art of self-learning.
4. To inculcate a professional and ethical attitude , good leadership qualities in the Learner’s though t
process.

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 appreciations to t he various contributors from the academia and indus try
for their most learned inputs in framing this sylla bus.

Guidelines for Mini Project
• Students shall form a group of 3 to 4 students, whi le forming a group shall not be allowed less
than three or more than four students, as it is a g roup activity.
• Students should do survey and identify needs, which shall be converted into problem statement for
mini project in consultation with faculty superviso r/head of department/internal committee of
faculties.
• Students hall submit implementation plan in the for m of Gantt/PERT/CPM chart, which will
cover weekly activity of mini project.
• A log book to be prepared by each group, wherein gr oup can record weekly work progress,
guide/supervisor can verify and record notes/commen ts.
• Faculty supervisor may give inputs to students duri ng mini project activity; however, focus shall
be on self-learning.
• Students in a group shall understand problem effect ively, propose multiple solution and select best
possible solution in consultation with guide/ super visor.
• Students shall convert the best solution into worki ng model using various components of their
domain areas and demonstrate.
• The solution to be validated with proper justificat ion and report to be compiled in standard format
of University of Mumbai.
• With the focus on the self-learning, innovation, ad dressing societal problems and entrepreneurship
quality development within the students through the Mini Projects, it is preferable that a single
project of appropriate level and quality to be carr ied out in two semesters by all the groups of the

Page 67

students. i.e. Mini Project 1 in semester III and I V. Similarly, Mini Project 2 in semesters V and
VI.
• However, based on the individual students or group capability, with the mentor’s
recommendations, if the proposed Mini Project adher ing to the qualitative aspects mentioned
above gets completed in odd semester, then that gro up can be allowed to work on the extension of
the Mini Project with suitable improvements/modific ations or a completely new project idea in
even semester. This policy can be adopted on case b y case basis.
Guidelines for Assessment of Mini Project:
Term Work
• The review/ progress monitoring committee shall be constituted by head of departments of
each institute. The progress of mini project to be evaluated on continuous basis, minimum
two reviews in each semester.
• In continuous assessment focus shall also be on eac h individual student, assessment based
on individual’s contribution in group activity, the ir understanding and response to questions.
• Distribution of Term work marks for both semesters shall be as below;
o Marks awarded by guide/supervisor based on log book : 10
o Marks awarded by review committee : 10
o Quality of Project report : 05
Review/progress monitoring committee may consider f ollowing points for assessment based
on either one year or half year project as mentione d in general guidelines.
One-year project:
• In first semester entire theoretical solution shall be ready, including components/system
selection and cost analysis. Two reviews will be co nducted based on presentation given by
students group.

First shall be for finalisation of problem

Second shall be on finalisation of proposed solutio n of problem.
• In second semester expected work shall be procureme nt of components/systems, building of
working prototype, testing and validation of result s based on work completed in an earlier
semester.

First review is based on readiness of building work ing prototype to be conducted.

Second review shall be based on poster presentation cum demonstration of working
model in last month of the said semester.

Half-year project:
• In this case in one semester students’ group shall complete project in all aspects including,
o Identification of need/problem
o Proposed final solution
o Procurement of components/systems
o Building prototype and testing
• Two reviews will be conducted for continuous assess ment,

First shall be for finalisation of problem and prop osed solution

Second shall be for implementation and testing of s olution.
