BASIC COMMONALITIES
To develop the
basic commonalities, it is essential to first identify the fields of
activities. A student of engineering is
required to have
-
Adequate knowledge of
basic sciences,
-
Adequate knowledge and application
of engineering sciences,
-
Appreciation of
environment and society on engineering activities, and
-
Adequate communication skill to
communicate with engineering process, people and
machine.
The subjects to cover the above fields
are broadly as under :
Basic Sciences
Physics,
Chemistry and Mathematics
Engineering Sciences
Fundamentals
of Design and Manufacturing, Electrical Science
Electronics
and Instrumentation, Mechanical Science Material
Science and Engineering SOCIAL
SCIENCE
Societal
Structures and Dynamics, Development Processes
Technology Assessment,
Ecosystems, Environmental Degradation Waste
Management and Sustainable Development
Communication
Engineering
Drawing and Graphics, Computing and Informatics
|
A course structure identified as
Section 'A', common for all disciplines and based on the
above considerations, has been evolved.
ADVANCED COMMONALITIES
The course structure for each
discipline in Section 'B' have one common subject -- Engineering
Management -- except Marine Engineering discipline.
DISCIPLINE COMMONALITIES
AND SPECIALIZATION
The various task
groups of each discipline developed the course structure for that
particular discipline, keeping the discipline commonalities confined to
five papers and specialization to three papers from one of the optional
groups.
The course structure
and syllabi of 15 engineering disciplines have been divided into two
parts -- engineering disciplines in which Section 'B' examination are
being conducted at present, followed by engineering disciplines in which
Section 'B' examinations are not being conducted.
