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 being accredited. In 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 development.
Faculty resolved that course objectives and course outcomes are to be clearly defined 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. 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.
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 lectures, coverage of content beyond syllabus etc.
There was a concern that the earlier revised curriculum 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 contact 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
170, wherein focus is not only on providing knowledge 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 engineering in second and third year of programs,
which will definitely facilitate self-learning of students. The overall credits and approach of
curriculum proposed in the present revision is in line with AICTE model curriculum.
The present curriculum will be implemented for Second 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 knowledge component, skill based activities and
project based activities. Self-learning opportunities 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 are 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 appropriately 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 online courses or additional projects for
enhancing their knowledge and skill sets.
The Principals/ HoD’s/ Faculties of all the institute 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 they are required to
submit certification for the same. This will definitely help learners to facilitate their enhanced
learning based on their interest.

Guidelines for Mini Project
 Students shall form a group of 3 to 4 students, while 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 faculty supervisor/head of
department/internal committee of faculties.
 Students shall submit implementation plan in the form of Gantt/PERT/CPM chart, which
will cover weekly activity of mini project.
 A logbook to be prepared by each group, wherein group can record weekly work
progress, guide/supervisor can verify and record notes/comments.
 Faculty supervisor may give inputs to students during mini project activity; however,
focus shall be on self-learning.
 Students in a group shall understand problem effectively, propose multiple solution and
select best possible solution in consultation with guide/ supervisor.
 Students shall convert the best solution into working model using various components of
their domain areas and demonstrate.
 The solution to be validated with proper justification and report to be compiled in
standard format of University of Mumbai.
 With the focus on the self-learning, innovation, addressing 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 carried out in two
semesters by all the groups of the students. i.e. Mini 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 adhering to the qualitative aspects
mentioned above gets completed in odd semester, then that group can be allowed to work
on the extension of the Mini Project with suitable improvements/modifications or a

completely new project idea in even semester. This policy can be adopted on case by
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 each individual student,
assessment based on individual’s contribution in group activity, their
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 logbook : 10
o Marks awarded by review committee : 10
o Quality of Project report : 05

Review/progress monitoring committee may consider following points for
assessment based on either one year or half year project as mentioned 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 conducted
based on presentation given by students group.
 First shall be for finalisation of problem
 Second shall be on finalisation of proposed solution of problem.
 In second semester expected work shall be procurement of components/systems,
building of working prototype, testing and validation of results based on work
completed in an earlier semester.
 First review is based on readiness of building working 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 assessment,
 First shall be for finalisation of problem and proposed solution
 Second shall be for implementation and testing of solution.
