SEMESTER WISE CREDIT DISTRIBUTION

INDUCTION PROGRAMME

Induction Programme Shall Include Fundamentals Of Mathematics, Programme Core And Fundamentals Of Computing, Engineering Science, English And Universal Human Values. The Induction Programme Shall Be Conducted At The Beginning Of The First Semester For 15 Days. 

Distribution Of Hours: Fundamentals Of Mathematics – 16, Programme Core And Fundamentals Of Computing – 15 (AE/EC/EE/CE/ME - 10 + 5; AD/CS/CU/IT - 15), Engineering Science – 15, English – 15, Universal Human Values/external Talks – 12 Hours. 

PROGRAMME CORE COURSES

 The Core Courses Comprise Mathematics, Basic Sciences And Engineering Courses, And  discipline Level Significant Courses Which Are Framed As Per The Need Of Both Academia And  industry. The Core Courses Include The Fundamentals As Well As The Courses To Understand      recent Developments In The Discipline.

PRACTICAL COURSES 

 Practical Courses, Mostly Based On The Theory The Students Have Studied, Are Meant For Skill  development And Creative Thinking. 

PROGRAMME ELECTIVES 

  Students Can Enrich Their Knowledge In The Domain Of The Programme By Taking 6 Programme  electives. Electives Are Meant To Bridge The Gap Between Academia And Industry. The      Department May Add More Electives With The Recommendation Of The Board Of Studies And      approval Of The Academic Council. These Electives Are Offered In 5, 6, 7 And 8 Semesters. 

PRACTICAL ELECTIVE 

 Practical Elective Is Meant To Widen The Domain Of Knowledge. Students Can Choose This Course  as A Post Requisite Of Any Of The Electives Offered. 

NON-CREDIT COURSES 

 To Inculcate Human Values And Social Awareness, Overcome Hurdles In Different Walks Of Life  and To Face The Challenges In Career Development Non-credit Courses Are Introduced. The  courses Offered Are English For Engineers, Constitution Of India, Environmental Science And  Sustainable Engineering, UHV And Social Work With Community Service, Industrial Safety,  Rajagiri Electives And Mandatory MOOC. Students Are Required To Pass All The Courses To Get  the Degree. 

MINI PROJECT 

 It Is Introduced In The Sixth Semester With The Specific Objective Of Strengthening The  understanding Of Fundamentals Through Effective Application Of Theoretical Concepts. The Mini  project Helps To Boost The Student’s Skills And Widens The Horizon Of Their Thinking. The Ultimate  aim Of An Engineering Student Is To Resolve A Problem By Applying Theoretical Knowledge. Doing  more Projects Increases Problem- Solving Skills. Student Groups With 3 Or 4 Members Should  identify A Topic Of Interest In Consultation With Faculty/Advisor, Review The Literature And Gather  information Pertaining To The Chosen Topic, State The Objectives And Develop A Methodology To  achieve The Objectives, Carry Out The Design/fabrication Or Develop Codes/programs To Achieve  the Objectives, And Demonstrate The Novelty Of The Project Through The Results And Outputs. The  progress Of The Mini Project Is Evaluated Based On A Minimum Of Two Reviews. The Review  committee May Be Constituted By The Head Of The Department. A Project Report Is Required At  the End Of The Semester. The Product Has To Be Demonstrated For Its Full Design Specifications.  Innovative Design Concepts, Reliability Considerations, Aesthetics/ergonomic Aspects Taken Care  of In The Project Shall Be Given Due Credit. The Internal Evaluation Will Be Made Based On The  product, The Report And A Viva-voce Examination, Conducted Internally By A Three-member  committee Appointed By The Head Of The Department Comprising The Head Of The Department Or  a Senior Faculty Member, Mini Project Coordinator For That Program And Project Guide. 

SEMINAR 

 To Encourage And Motivate The Students To Read And Collect Recent And Reliable Information  about Their Area Of Interest Confined To The Relevant Discipline, Each Student Is Required To  prepare A Report Based On A Central Theme, Drawn From Technical Publications Including Peer  reviewed Journals, Conferences, Books, Project Reports Etc. And Present The Same Before A Peer  audience. Each Student Seminar Shall Be Of 20 Minutes Duration. The Report And The  presentation Shall Be Evaluated By A Team Comprising Academic Coordinator For The Respective  program, Seminar Coordinator And Seminar Guide Based On Style Of Presentation, Technical  content, Adequacy Of References, Depth Of Knowledge And Overall Quality Of The Report. 

PROJECT WORK PHASE - I 

 The Project Topic Must Be Selected Either From Research Literature Or It May Be Proposed By The  students In Consultation With Their Guides. The Objective Of Project Work Phase I Is To Enable   The Student To Take Up Investigative Study In The Broad Field Of Computer Science And  Engineering, Either Fully Theoretical/ Practical Or Involving Both Theoretical And Practical Work. It  will Be Assigned By The Department To A Group Of Three/four Students, Under The Mentoring Of A  Project Guide(s). This Is Expected To Be A Good Initiation For The Student(s) In R&D Work. The  assignment Shall Normally Include:

• Survey And Study Of Published Literature On The Assigned Topic
• Preparing An Action Plan For Conducting The Investigation
• Working Out A Preliminary Approach To The Problem Relating To The Assigned Topic
• Block Level Design Documentation 
• Conducting     Preliminary     Analysis/         Modelling/  Simulation/     Experiment/ Design/Feasibility
• Preparing A Written Report On The Study Conducted For Presentation To The Department
• Final Project Presentation Before The Concerned Departmental Committee

PROJECT WORK PHASE -II 

The Objective Of Project Work Phase II & Dissertation Is To Enable The Student To Extend Further The Investigative Study Taken Up In Project Phase I, Either Fully Theoretical/practical Or Involving Both Theoretical And Practical Work, Under The Mentoring Of A Project Guide From The Department Alone Or Jointly With A Supervisor Drawn From R&D Laboratory/industry. This Is Expected To Provide A Good Training For The Student(s) In R&D Work And Technical Leadership. 

  The Assignment Shall Normally Include: 

• In Depth Study Of The Topic Assigned In The Light Of The Report Prepared In Phase I
• Review And Finalization Of The Approach To The Problem Relating To The Assigned Topic 
• Detailed Analysis/ Modeling/ Simulation/ Design/ Problem Solving/ Experiment As Needed
• Final Development Of Product/process, Testing, Results, Conclusions, And Future Directions 
• Preparing A Paper For Conference Presentation/ Publication In Journals, If Possible 
• Preparing A Dissertation In The Standard Format For Being Evaluated By The Department 
• Final Presentation Before The Concerned Evaluation Committee 

MANDATORY INTERNSHIP

 The Internship Is Meant To Familiarize The Student With The Needs Of The Industry.  The Internship  Committee Shall Take The Initiative To Find Suitable Industries. Assessment Will Be Based On The  Report And Viva Voce. 

ACTIVITY POINTS 

 All Students Have To Earn A Minimum Of 100 Activity Points From Various Activity Segments  listed To Qualify For The B.Tech. Degree. Two Credits Are Given  For This On A Pass/ Fail Basis  and Is Mandatory For Getting The B.Tech. Degree. As No Grade Is Given For These Two Credits,  they Are Not Included In The CGPA Calculation.
