From Co-ordinator’s Desk :
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. Ac creditation 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 curriculum development.
Faculty of Technology, University of Mumbai, in one of its meeting unanimously resolved that, each Board
of Studies shall prepare some Program E ducational Objectives (PEO’s) and give freedom to affiliated
Institutes to add few (PEO’s). It is also resolved that course objectives and course outcomes are to be clearly
defined for each course, so that all faculty members in affiliated institutes under stand 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, semester based credit and grading
system is also introduced to ensure quality of engin eering 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 focu ses 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 Faculty of
Technology has devised a transparent credit assignment policy and ad opted ten points scale 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 in 12 -13 weeks and remaining 2 -3 weeks to be utilized for revision, guest lectur es,
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 institute level. This will be effective for SE, TE and BE from academic year 2017 -
18, 2018 -19 and 2019 -20 respectively.

Coordinator , Printing & Packaging Technology ’s Preamble:
As the application of technology spreads its wings, the scope of engineering education spreads beyond the
core disciplines bringing hitherto unheard areas within its ambit. The Printing & Packaging Technology (PPT)
is one such discipline uniquely introduced by the University of Mumbai in the year 2006 that is now a full -
fledged course with immense potential. Accreditation norms & the industry orientation of the course have
been considered while framing the revised structure of the PPT syllabus. Accreditation not only emphasizes
ensuring quality bu t demands that the courses result in measurable outcomes.

The program educational objectives have been framed taking an all-pervasive view and involving all stake
holders. It is a pleasure, as the Coordinator for PPT, to mention here that there was equal participation of
industry and academia in the process of syllabus restructuring and defining the PEO‟s. CEO‟s / MD‟s /
Manager - Sales & Technical Services from major printing and packaging industries and experienced
Professor s also participated in the fra ming of the PEO ’s and revision of syllabus.

The Program Educational Objectives are defined as follows -
1. The graduates / learners of this program should be industry ready workforce with a strong base in
mathematical, scientific and engineering fundamental s.

2. The graduates / learners must acquire high level of technical & research proficiency, analytical and
real-life problem -solving skills to generate innovative solutions in packaging and printing technology
or related areas of the program using modern to ols effectively.

3. Learners needs to exhibit sustained learning and adapting to a continually changing field through
graduate work, professional development and absolute self -study skills so that they can pursue
victorious career in Indian as well as multi national organizations and shine in their postgraduate
studies.

4. Graduates capable to communicate effectively to various stakeholders and practice their profession
with high regard to societal needs, diversity, constraints in the professional workplace an d ethical
responsibilities enhancing their leadership and managerial qualities.

In addition to Program Educational Objectives, for each course objectives and expected outcomes from
learner ’s point of view are also included in the curriculum to support the philosophy of outcome -based
education.

Further, with a view to bridge the gap between academics and application it was decided at the behest of the
industry to assign the final year project work as a full time one semester apprenticeship in the packagin g and
printing industry. The students would be taking up a live project and working on it in the industry during the
eighth semester of the four -year course. This would have a two -pronged benefit of the students gaining actual
work experience and the indus try gaining trained engineers. The structure and content of the course has been
made more relevant to the current needs of the industry. I am sure this small but significant step would go a
long way in furthering the cause of introducing this discipline.

I believe strongly that a small step taken in right direction will definitely help in providing quality education
to the stake holders.
