Preamble

To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, the issue of quality needs
to be addressed, de bated 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 qualit y of education. Credit
assignment for courses is based on 15 weeks teaching learning process, however content of courses
is to be taught in 13 weeks and remaining 2 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 Eng ineering
in the academic years 2021 -22, 2022 -23, respectively.

Incorporation and Implementation of Online Contents
from NPTEL/ Swayam Platform


The cur riculum 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 p ossible 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 approp riately 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 n ow
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 ad ditional 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 the ir enhanced
learning based on their interest.

Preamble to the Revision of Syllabus in Chemical Engineering

Development in all fields including Chemical Engineering along with use of soft wares for
process plant and process engineering, there is demand on academician to upgrade the
curriculum in Education. Choice based Credit and grading system enables a much re quired
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. The Curriculum must integrate
knowledge of the basic and advanced sciences with problem solving and creativity abilities.

The Curriculum must be broad enough to cover all areas from design to operation of Process
plants. It should be deep enough to enable the learners to carry out research and develop
products to meet rapidly changing need s and demands. The major challenge in the current
scenario is to ensure quality to the stakeholders. Accreditation is the principal means of quality
assurance in higher education and reflects the fact that in achieving recognition, the institution
or progr am of study is committed and open to external review to meet certain minimum
specified standards. The major emphasis of this accreditation process is to measure the
outcomes of the program that is being accredited. Program outcomes are essentially a range of
skills and knowledge that a student will have at the time of graduation from the program.

With these objectives, online meeting was organized on 30th May 2020 which was attended by
heads of the departments and subject faculty of affiliating Institutes . The program objectives
and outcomes were thoroughly discussed in line with AICTE guidelines and the core structure
of the syllabus was formulated keeping in mind choice based credit and grading system
curriculum along with more emphasis on learning outco mes. Thus Skilled based laboratories
and Mini projects are introduced in appropriate semesters. Views from experts and UG teachers
were taken into consideration and final Academic and Exam scheme was prepared with the
consent of all the members involved. S ubject wise online meetings were held by various
subjects convenors to finalize the detail syllabus in the month of June 2020.

The Program Educational Objectives finalized for the undergraduate program in Chemical
Engineering are:
1. To prepare the student for mathematical, scientific and engineering fundamentals
2. To motivate the student to use modern tools for solving real life problems
3. To inculcate a professional and ethical attitude, good leadership qualities and
commitment to social and environmental responsibilities.
4. To prepare the student in achieving excellence which will benefit individually and
society at large.
