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 be ing 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 Cred it 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 w ill 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 c ontent 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. I n this regard, faculty of science
and technology resolved that to minimize the burden of contact hours, total credits of entire program
will be of 17 1, 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 Thi rd 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 learnin g 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 o r 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. Learn ers 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.

Preface
When the entire world is discussing about ‘Industry 4.0’, we are at the crossroads. There are so many
expectations from the graduating engineers, who shall be the major contributors to ecosystem for
development of the Nation. Engineering education in India, in general, is being revamped so as to
impart the theoretical kn owledge along with industrial exposure. It is our attempt , when we are
introducing a new curriculum; to bridge the industry -academia gap. To enable this, we have introduced
components such as skill -based laboratories and project -based learning. We trust that this will allow the
learner to apply knowledge gained in previous and current semesters to solve problems for gaining
better understanding. What once were pure mechanical systems have now been transformed into
multidisciplinary systems of mechatronic s, electronics and computer science. Interdisciplinary
knowledge is gaining importance as we are moving towards automated world as technology advances.
Keeping this in mind the curriculum has been designed in a way so that learner shall be acquainted with
many Interdisciplinary subjects.

Engineers develop new technological solutions. During the engineering design process, the
responsibilities of the engineer may include defining problems, conducting and narrowing research,
analyzing criteria, finding and analyzing solutions, and making decisions. The Program Educational
Objectives for Undergraduate Program were finalized in a brain storming session, which was attended
by several faculty members and Industry experts. The Program Educational Objectives propo sed for the
undergraduate program in Mechanical Engineering are listed below:
1. To prepare the stake holder to exhibit leadership qualities with demonstrable attributes in
lifelong learning to contribute to the societal needs.

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 n eeds, which shall be converted into problem
statement for mini project in consultation with faculty supervisor/head of
department/internal committee of faculties.
 Students hall submit implementation plan in the form of Gantt/PERT/CPM chart, which will
cover weekly activity of mini project.
 A log book 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 activ ity; 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 w orking 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, addr essing 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 ca se 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 shal l 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 following points for assessment
based on either one ye ar 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 validatio n 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.
