STUDENT OUTCOMES

The curriculum and syllabus for B.Tech programs (2013) conform to outcome based teaching learning process. In

general, ELEVEN STUDENT OUTCOMES (a-k) have been identified and the curriculum and syllabus have been

structured in such a way that each of the courses meets one or more of these outcomes. Student outcomes describe

what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge,

and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program. Further each course in the program spells

out clear instructional objectives which are mapped to the student outcomes.

The student outcomes are:

(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering

(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data

(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as

economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability

(d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams

(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems

(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility

(g) an ability to communicate effectively

(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic,

environmental, and societal context

(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning

(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues

(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

C-D-I-O Initiative

The CDIO Initiative (CDIO is a trademarked initialism for Conceive — Design — Implement — Operate) is an

innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers. The framework provides students

with an education stressing engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing

— Operating real-world systems and products. Throughout the world, CDIO Initiative collaborators have adopted

CDIO as the framework of their curricular planning and outcome-based assessment.

In the syllabus, every topic has been classified under one or more of C-D-I-O so that students and faculty alike are

clear about the scope of learning to take place under each one of the topics.

Purpose

Students of any specialization at an undergraduate level learn courses related to various sub-domains

(Multi-disciplinary) of their specialization individually. They are not exposed to understanding how the

various multi-disciplinary fields interact and integrate in real life situations. It is very common that an

expert in a particular domain models and designs systems or products oblivious of the impact of other

subsystems. This lack of multi-disciplinary thinking is very blatantly visible when the students take up

their major project during their final year. This course aims to develop appropriate skills on systemic

thinking on how to identify and formulate a problem, decompose the problem into smaller elements,

coneptualise the design, evaluate the conceptual design by using scientific, engineering and managerial

tools, select, analyze and interpret the data, consideration of safety, socio-politico-cultural, risks and

hazards, disposal, regional and national laws, costing and financial model and undertake documentation

and finally presentation.

selecting appropriate design variables, parameters and constraints a c e f i l

3. To design for value and quantitatively assess the expected

lifecycle cost of a new system or product a c e f i l

Pedagogy:

Theme or major/broad domains will be announced by the department every semester. Multi-disciplinary designs will be

made by the students in groups (group size may be decided by the course coordinator), with the topic of interest falling

within the theme or major/broad domains as announced by the department, applying any combinations of the disciplines

in engineering. 3D modelling and / or simulation must be used to validate the design.

In a combination of lecture and hands-on experiences, students must be exposed to understand and analyse engineering

designs (or products) and systems, their realization process and project management. Analysis of the design criteria for

safety, ergonomics, environment, life cycle cost and sociological impact is to be covered. Periodic oral and written

status reports are required. The course culminates in a comprehensive written report and oral presentation. If required

guest lecturers from industry experts from the sub-domains may be arranged to provide an outside perspective and show

how the system design is being handled by the industry. The Conceive Design Implement Operate (CDIO) principles

must be taught to the students.

A full-scale fabrication is not within the purview /scope of this course. Of course this design, if scalable and approved

by the department, can be extended as the major project work

in their Undergraduate Programs. The project provides students with the opportunity to explore a

problem or issue of particular personal or professional interest and to address that problem or issue

through focused study and applied research under the direction of a faculty member. The project

demonstrates the student's ability to synthesize and apply the knowledge and skills acquired in

his/her academic program to real-world issues and problems. This final project affirms students'

ability to think critically and creatively, to solve practical problems, to make reasoned and ethical

decisions, and to communicate effectively.

enabling the students to showcase the knowledge and the skills

they have acquired during the previous four years, design a

product/service of significance, and solve an open-ended

problem in engineering.

2. Each student must register to the project course related to his or

her program

3. Major Project course consists of one semester and would be

allowed to register only during the final year of study.

4. The Major Project may be initiated during the pre-final semester

but will be assessed and credits transferred only during the last

semester of study, upon completion of all other degree

requirements. Generally the undergraduate major project is a

team based one.

5. Each team in the major project course will consist of maximum

of 5 students.

6. Each project will be assigned a faculty, who will act as the

supervisor.

10. Each student team is expected to maintain a log book that would

normally be used to serve as a record of the way in which the

project progressed during the course of the session.

11. Salient points discussed at meetings with the supervisor (i.e.,

suggestions for further meetings, changes to experimental

procedures) should be recorded by the student in order to

provide a basis for subsequent work.

12. The logbook may be formally assessed;

13. The contribution of each individual team member will be clearly

identified and the weightage of this component will be explicitly

considered while assessing the work done.

14. A project report is to be submitted on the topic which will be

evaluated during the final review.

15. Assessment components will be as spelt out in the regulations.

16. The department will announce a marking scheme for awarding

marks for the different sections of the report.
