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 educ ation. The major emphasis of accreditation
process is to measure the outcomes of the program t hat is being accredited. In line with this
Faculty of Science and Technology (in particular En gineering) 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 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 remai ning 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 hou rs, total credits of entire program will be of
170, wherein focus is not only on providing knowled ge but also on building skills, attitude and
self-learning. Therefore in the present curriculum 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 s tudents. The overall credits and approach of
curriculum proposed in the present revision is in l ine 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 opportuniti es are provided to learners. In the revision
process this time in particular Revised syllabus of ‘C’ scheme wherever possible additional
resource links of platforms such as NPTEL, Swayam a re appropriately provided. In an earlier
revision of curriculum in the year 2012 and 2016 in Revised scheme ‘A’ and ‘B’ respectively,
efforts were made to use online contents more appro priately as additional 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- learning 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 insti tute are required to motivate and encourage
learners to use additional online resources availab le on platforms such as NPTEL/ Swayam.
Learners can be advised to take up online courses, on successful completion they are required to
submit certification for the same. This will defini tely help learners to facilitate their enhanced
learning based on their interest.

• 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/ supervisor.
• 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 stu dents through the Mini Projects, it is
preferable that a single project of appropriate lev el and quality to be carried out in two
semesters by all the groups of the students. i.e. M ini Project 1 in semester III and IV.

At least 8 Industrial Visits to be conducted . Care should be taken, not to visit similar
industries more than once, since the concept is to help students practically see & learn as many
manufacturing & converting facilities as possible.

Termwork:
During industrial visits, students are expected to study the process, machines, consumables &
facilities utilized in the Industry. They have to t hen write a report for every Industrial visit based
on their understanding.
Industrial Visit Reports: 20 Marks
Attendance: 05 Marks

End Semester Oral Examination (for 25 marks): Oral assessment to be conducted by internal
and external examiners.

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 group activity.
• Students should do survey and identify needs, which shall be converted into problem
statement for mini project in consultation with fac ulty supervisor/head of
department/internal committee of faculties.
• Students shall submit implementation plan in the fo rm of Gantt/PERT/CPM chart, which
will cover weekly activity of mini project.
• A logbook to be prepared by each group, wherein gro up can record weekly work
progress, guide/supervisor can verify and record no tes/comments.
• 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/ supervisor.
• 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 stu dents through the Mini Projects, it is
preferable that a single project of appropriate lev el and quality to be carried out in two
semesters by all the groups of the students. i.e. M ini Project 1 in semester III and IV.
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, the n that group can be allowed to work
on the extension of the Mini Project with suitable improvements/modifications or a

• Mini Project shall be assessed through a presentati on and demonstration of working
model by the student project group to a panel of In ternal and External Examiners
preferably from industry or research organisations having experience of more than five
