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 particula r 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 1 5 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 curricul um 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 bu rden 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 AICT E 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, respec tively.

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 cert ification for the same. This will definitely help learners to facilitate their enhanced
learning based on their interest.

Preface
University of Mumbai being the first University in India to approve and start the Bachelor of
Engineering Program in Printing and Packaging Technology in the year 2006 -07, has stayed
abreast with the various technologies in this field in the years that have followed with significant
updates and revision in the Curriculum. With the help of Packaging and Printing Industry
Experts, Academicians, and other stake holders, in this 4th revision, the curriculum for B. E.
Printing and Packaging Technology has been kept relevant to the requirements of current
national and international trends.
Printing & Packaging Technology is a niche field which involv es multi -disciplinary courses to
enable the learners to apply their engineering knowledge and skills, right from materials used
such as Wood, Paper, Glass, Metals and Plastics to their conversion processes. Printing Industry
has survived the onslaught of D igital Communication and the standard Printing Technologies
are co -existing with Digital and Hybrid Print Technologies. 3D Printing is another area where
the additive manufacturing has helped the industry to develop prototypes rapidly during product
develo pment. Effort has been put to expose learners to the newer technologies along with a
strong base in the existing concepts.
Emphasis has been given to improve the skills, knowledge, and attitude of the learners in line
with the Outcome -Based Education, with case-studies and real -life examples from the Printing
& Packaging Industry. Accreditation is the principal means of quality assurance in higher
education and reflects the fact that in achieving recognition, the institution or program of study
is committed and open to external review to meet certain minimum specified standards. The
Program Educational Objectives finalized for the undergraduate program in Printing &
Packaging Technology are listed below:
1. Pursue higher studies and / or contribute to Printing & Packaging Industry at national
and international levels.
2. Become a principal professional with good technical and management skills to
solveeconomic, environmental, and industrial / societal problems.
3. Become an entrepreneur serving the needs of the societ y.

We trust this revised version of syllabus come up to the expectations of all stakeholders. We
wish to place on record our sincere thanks and appreciations to the various contributors from the
academia and industry for their most learned inputs in fram ing this syllabus.
