COURSE STRUCTURE FOR SECTIONS 'A' AND 'B' EXAMINATIONS
DEVELOPMENT OF COURSE STRUCTURE
The generalized commonalities of the programme, which are prerequisite for developing scientific mind and engineering attitude, are first identified and classified as Basic Commonalities.
A global outline for developing professional expertise around a common theme is identified next. This is classified as Advanced Commonalities.
The discipline-wise commonalities are developed next, followed by specialization in each discipline.

DISCIPLINE-WISE COMMONALITIES
|
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 SCIENCE
|
|
Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics
|
|
|
|
ENGINEERING SCIENCE
|
|
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.
