From Coordinator’s Desk:

To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, the issue of quality needs to be addressed, debated
taken forward in a systematic manner. Accreditation is the principal means of quality assurance in higher education. The
major emphas is 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 curric ulum development.
Faculty of Technology, University of Mumbai, in one of its meetings unanimously resolved that, each Board of Studies
shall prepare some Program Educational Objectives (PEO’s), give freedom to affiliated Institutes to add few (PEO’s) cour se
objectives course outcomes to be clearly defined for each course, so that all faculty members in affiliated institutes
understand the depth approach of course to be taught, which will enhance learner’s learning process. It was also resolved
that, maximu m senior faculty from colleges and experts from industry should 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, developed
curriculum accordingly. In addition to outcome -based education, Choice Based Credit and Grading System is also
introduced to ensure quality of engineering 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 not in teaching. It also focuses on
continuous evaluation which will enhance the quality of education. University of Mumbai has taken a lead in implementing
the syst em through its affiliated Institutes. Faculty of Technology has devised a transparent credit assignment policy
adopted ten points scale to grade learner’s performance. Credit grading -based system was implemented for First Year of B.
Pharmacy from the acad emic year 2016 -2017. S ubsequently this system was carried forward for Second Year B. Pharmacy
in the academic year 2017 -2018, Third Year in the academic years 2018 -2019 and Final Year B. Pharmacy in the academic
year 2019 -2020.
