7. CIVIL ENGINEERING
 Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design,
construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment,
including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewage
systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways.

8. COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
 Computer Science and Engineering is a programme that deals with design,
implementation, and management of information systems of both software &
hardware processes. A computer engineer specializes in theory of computation and
design of computational systems.

9. ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGG.
 Electronics and communications
engineering is an engineering
discipline which utilizes nonlinear
and active electrical components
(such as semiconductor devices,
especially transistors and diodes)
to design electronic circuits,
devices, integrated circuits and
their systems. The discipline
typically also designs passive
electrical components, usually
based on printed circuit boards.

10. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
 Mechanical engineering is an engineering branch that combines engineering
physics and mathematics principles with materials science to design, analyze,
manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is one of the oldest and broadest
of the engineering branches.
 The mechanical engineering field requires an understanding of core areas including
mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis,
and electricity.

15. PROGRAMME OUTCOMES (POs)
1. Basic and Discipline specific knowledge: Apply knowledge of basic mathematics, science and
engineering fundamentals and engineering specialization to solve the engineering problems.
2. Problem analysis: Identify and analyze well-defined engineering problems using codified
standard methods.
3. Design/ development of solutions: Design solutions for well-defined technical problems and
assist with the design of systems components or processes to meet specified needs.
4. Engineering Tools, Experimentation and Testing: Apply modern engineering tools and
appropriate technique to conduct standard tests and measurements.
5. Engineering practices for society, sustainability and environment: Apply appropriate
technology in context of society, sustainability, environment and ethical practices.
6. Project Management: Use engineering management principles individually, as a team member or
a leader to manage projects and communicate about well-defined engineering activities.
7. Life-long learning: Ability to analyze individual needs and engage in updating in the context of
technological changes.

16. PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
 Course: A Course is a component (a paper) of a Programme. All the
courses need not carry same weightage.
 A course may be designed to involve lectures / tutorials / laboratory work
/ seminar / project work/ Internships / seminar or a combination of these,
to meet effectively the teaching and learning needs and the credits may be
assigned suitably.

17. PROGRAMME COURSES
1. Communication Skills and Social Sciences
2. Engineering Mathematics, Statistics and Analytics
3. Engineering Sciences
4. Professional Core
5. Professional Elective
6. Open Electives
7. Audit / Non-Core Courses
8. Employability Enhancement Courses - Mini Project, Seminar, Major Project

18. CREDIT DISTRIBUTION
 Definition of Credit: Credit is a kind of weightage given to the
contact hours to teach the prescribed syllabus, which is in a modular
form. For courses, one credit is allocated to one contact hour for
theory / tutorial per week and one credit is allocated to 02 contact
hours for practical.
 Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS): CBCS is a flexible system of
learning that permits students to learn at their own pace, choose
electives from a wide range of elective courses and adopt an inter-
disciplinary approach in learning and make best use of the
expertise of available faculty.

19. EVALUATION
