2.2.2. Explain how modes of delivery of courses help in the attainment of the
POs (10)
(Describe the different course delivery methods/modes, e . g . Lectures interspersed with
discussion, asynchronous mode of interaction, group discussion, and project etc., used to deliver the
courses and justify the effectiveness of these methods for the attainment of the POs. This may be
further justified using the indirect assessment methods such as course-end surveys.)

The courses are delivered as

Lectures :
Classroom lectures form the most basic and conventional way of disseminating information
to the students. Lectures are used to convey the theoretical aspects. In these lectures students
are encouraged to think originally and are made to identify and analyze engineering
problems. Lectures are done with the aid of black board and chalk and presentations so that
the students get a clear picture of the ideas imparted to them.
Presentations:
Ideas and concepts taught during lectures are reinforced in the minds of students with the
aid of presentations, both videos as well as pictures. Videos help in making students
understand the working of complex engineering processes which would otherwise have been
impossible to demonstrate on a two dimensional black board
Tutorials:
Tutorials help the students in analyzing and solving the engineering problems on the basis
of the theory dealt with during lectures. The tutorial sessions make the concept taught during
lectures clearer to the students.
Assignments
Assignments make students self-reliant in solution of problems through understanding of
theory through practice
Laboratory Experiments
Exposes the students to experimental and practical aspects of theory studied in classrooms.
They help students in verifying the theories learned by experiments through interpretation
of results. Since laboratory experiments are usually done in teams, they help develop the
spirit of working together as a team in the minds of young students
Community service programme
Students of the department are encouraged to become responsible citizens of the country by
encouraging them take part in community service programs. Community service initiatives
help them to understand real life problems faced by different strata of society and encourage
them to come up with novel and sustainable solutions for these problems

Industrial visits

55

NBA- SAR

Department of Mechanical Engineering

Industrial visits give the students a firsthand understanding of how big industries work.
Industrial visit is mandatory for all students of the department at least once in a year
Industrial training
Students are encouraged to undergo industrial training during their semester break in some
industry of their choice. Also a report has to be submitted at the end of industrial training.
Industrial training provides an insight to students about what is happening in the real world
and also supplements their class room knowledge
Software training programmes
The advent of various softwares has made life of an engineer easy. So it is essential that
students are taught the nuances of various softwares which would help them in giving better
shape to their ideas as also give them an added advantage in their career prospects. With this
in mind the department has taken a lead in teaching students soft wares like C, AUTO CAD,
PRIMAVERA, ANSYS etc.
Seminars and workshops
Students are made to present a seminar during their final year. In this seminar students are
supposed to make a seminar presentation in an area of their choice by referring to various
journals of national and international repute
Participation in paper presentations and technical competitions at the national and
international level
Students are encouraged to participate in paper presentations and technical competitions at
the national and international levels.
Projects ( in three levels):
Students have to carry out a project at micro level (second year) where they chose their area
of interest. Micro project mainly aims at familiarizing students with literature review and
introduction to apply their class room knowledge to research. Mini level projects (third year
project) aims at exposing students to real world scenarios of the theory they have studied in
class in their area of interest. Main level (final year) project aims at training them to find
solutions to real world problems with their technical knowhow. The development of students
from micro to mini to main project has been found to be very effective in their growth as
engineers.
e Learning: online Courses
Students are encouraged to use online materials of their courses and also to attend additional
online courses to gain knowledge and experience beyond their curriculum
2.2.3. Indicate the extent to which the laboratory an d project course work are
contributing towards the attainment of the POs (20)

56

NBA- SAR

Department of Mechanical Engineering

(Justify the balance between theory and practical for the attainment of POs. Justify how the
various project works (a sample of 20% best and average projects from total projects) carried
as part of
the programme curriculum contribute towards the attainment of the POs.)

The programme aims at providing an all-round exposure to students in mechanical

engineering including practical solutions and finding solution to real world
engineering problems.
The curriculum of the programme are so framed that an ample number of laboratory
courses are included so that the practical knowhow of the student is improvised along
with the theoretical knowledge. The laboratory works are also conducted in groups
which ensures the development of team working skills of the students.
The project course work allows the students to choose a specific area of interest and
thereafter have a better understanding in that area, and find solution to a real world
problem in that areas utilizing the technical know how they gained in the class room.
Project course work makes students capable of working in deadlines and improves
their presentation and communication skills.

2.4.1. Indicate how results of assessment used for curricular improvements

The feedback obtained from interviewers and industry delegates who had either hired
or interviewed our students was used to emphasize the importance of fundamental
concepts, analytical thinking and practical scenarios in the curriculum.
The results of the evaluation are communicated to the entire department and a
departmental meeting ensues to propose changes in the curriculum so that the
attainments of POs are maximized.
BOS reviews all the proposals put forward in the departmental meeting and finalizes
and puts forward its recommendations to the Academic Council of the University.

Department of Mechanical Engineering

3.1.3. Justify how the programme curriculum satisfies the programme specific
criteria (5)
(Justify how the programme curriculum satisfies the programme specific criteria specified by the
American professional societies relevant to the programme under accreditation)

The scheme, number of courses, contents of the courses are all designed to cater to
the requirements of students. The curriculum aims at imparting thorough mechanical
engineering background to students by developing a strong base and depth of
knowledge in the subject.
The curriculum is framed by taking the PEOs and POs of the degree programme as
basis. It is well evident from the above defined pre requisite chart that the curriculum
is so framed that a student with science and mathematics background at Plus Two
gets gradually evolved into a Mechanical engineer through exposure towards all
subjects of Mechanical engineering step by step.
The curriculum also aims at the enhancement of the social commitment of the
students along with their academic development.
As Mechanical engineers are expected to be professionals with strong ethics also,
they are life-long students with strong craving for knowledge. The department aims
at developing undergraduates with passion for learning, high social sense and
professional in all aspects.
3.2 State the components of the curriculum and their relevance to the POs and the
PEOs (15)
The curriculum is divided into professional core subjects as well as advanced elective
subjects in addition to subjects in basic sciences, mathematics and humanities.
Interdisciplinary subjects are also included in the curriculum. Projects and seminars help
to augment the research aptitude of students
Also the components of curriculum enables the graduate to attain various POs by the
culmination of the programme. Graduates acquire the ability to analyze, evaluate and
design machines and parts, transportation equipment systems, hydraulic structure etc.
and also to plan and execute mechanical engineering projects.

3.5. Illustrate the measures and processes used to identify the curricular
gaps to the attainment of the COs/POs (15)
(Details of the processes used to curricular gaps to the attainment of defined course
outcomes and programme)

The curricular gaps in the attainment of CO s and PO s are compensated by the following
measures
Add On Courses:
Add on courses are provided for training in mechanical engineering softwares
and high end survey instruments which are beyond the curriculum so that a
student becomes a full equipped mechanical engineer up on passing out.

76

NBA- SAR

Department of Mechanical Engineering

Minor Projects:
Micro projects and Mini projects are carried out by students at second and third
years of the course so that they are exposed to real world problems and the
derivation of solutions to these problems
Industrial Training and Community Service:
The academic and social commitment of a student is developed by undergoing
trainings and services

3.6. Indicate the content beyond syllabus imparted for the attainment of the
COs/POs (35)
(Details of the content beyond syllabus imparted for the attainment of the COs/POs.
This information may be provided course wise or module wise)
Certified course on Auto CAD
AutoCAD is a computer-aided design program used in many industries, most
commonly in engineering and drafting. AutoCAD training program teaches students
to create 2- or 3-dimensional technical drawings, develop template files, coordinate
reference drawings and build a library of reusable symbols.
Certified course on CATIA
CATIA enables the creation of 3D parts, from 3D sketches, sheet metal, composites,
and molded, forged or tooling parts up to the definition of mechanical assemblies.
The software provides advanced technologies for mechanical surfacing & BIW. It
provides tools to complete product definition, including functional tolerances as well
as kinematics definition. CATIA provides a wide range of applications for tool
design, for both generic tooling and mold & die.
Certified course on PRIMAVERA
Primavera P6 is an amazing project management application that is used worldwide
and which helps in planning, managing and controlling project costs, activities,
resources, effectively and easily.
Certified course on ABAQUS
Abaqus FEA (formerly ABAQUS) is a software suite for finite element
analysis and computer-aided engineering, originally released in 1978. The name and
logo of this software are based on the abacus calculation tool. The Abaqus product
suite consists of five core software products.
CNC machine training
Computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery is used by CNC operators to cut and
shape metal and plastic for various types of manufacturing. CNC operators must have

77

NBA- SAR

Department of Mechanical Engineering

mechanical skills and be able to read blueprints. Increasingly, many employers also
require CNC operators to have basic computer programming skills and experience with
computer-aided design and manufacturing programs. Licensing is typically not required,
although many candidates are either trained on the job through apprenticeships or receive
post-secondary certificates in manufacturing technology. A high school diploma is
typically required. For person that enjoying working with hands in a challenging, fastpaced environment, then this career might be for you.
It has been observed that imparting training in the above mentioned Software and
instruments has helped students gain additional knowledge other than those
prescribed under curriculum. The certified courses have been of great advantage to
the students in the job market too. It was ensured that the additional courses offered
to the students helped them fare better in their careers thus doing justice to the
CO/POs envisaged by the department

3.7. Course Syllabi (5)

7.2.3. Feedback analysis and reward/corrective measures taken, if any (5)
Feedback collected for all courses: YES
Specify the feedback collection process: The students of each class are guided to the Central
Computing Facility as per a pre- planned schedule. The students are given 14 questions
concerning the faculty who are dealing with theory papers and 9 questions for faculty and
staff dealing with Laboratories or workshops. The questionnaire is designed to enable them
to give their opinion as Excellent, Very Good, Satisfactory or Poor. Using a computer
program the score of each faculty is computed and shall be forwarded to the Principal. The
students are also allowed to write whatever comments they want to make about the teachers
which will be finally checked by Principal and HOD and forwarded to the faculty concerned.
Percentage of students who participated: More than 90 percent.
Specify the feedback analysis process: The feedback collected from students are first
analyzed at the level of HOD and then at the level of faculty appraisal committee, headed
by the Principal. The contents of the feedback will be shared with each faculty member
individually. The feedback system works as an eye opener for the faculty.
Basis of reward/corrective measures, if any: Best faculty award is given based on
students feedback, HODs evaluation, the facultys self-appraisal report and the
marks given by Faculty appraisal committee, headed by Principal. The increments
and promotions are also bear some effect on these scores. Those with very poor marks
and with bad comments from many students will be asked to show- cause why they
should be allowed to continue in this College.
Number of corrective actions taken in the last three years: 3 faculty members were warned
during last three years. The warning led to improvements in their performance and quality
of teaching.

(Instruction: The institution needs to design an effective feedback questionnaire. It needs to

justify that the feedback mechanism developed by the institution really helps to evaluate
teaching, and finally, contributes to the quality of teaching).
7.2.4 Scope for self-learning(5)
(Instruction: The institution needs to specify the scope for self-learning /learning beyond
syllabus and creation of facilities for self-learning/learning beyond syllabus.)
In tune with AJCEs vision of being a transformational leader in education, conscious efforts
are taken in the academic and allied activities of the college to nurture critical thinking, selflearning, creativity and scientific temper among students.
The college believes that self-learning and learning beyond syllabus have a great scope in the
development of the career of an engineer. Everything in engineering cannot be taught in the
class room or laboratories. The explosion in knowledge related to applied science and
engineering during the last century has been so much that four years is too short a period even
to cover one branch of engineering. This fact calls for the relevance for self-learning for young
engineers. What an institution should do is to provide adequate facilities for self-learning to
students so that they get motivated to learn more and more and ultimately become life-long
learners and innovators.
Motivation for self-learning should be provided in the classrooms. A teacher has a great role to
play in this. Discussing subject beyond the syllabus, providing exposure to exciting
developments in science and technology around the globe, attempting solutions to problems in
daily life etc. are the ways to motivate students for self-learning. They should also be motivated
to do things themselves so that they gain confidence to try anything with their own hands. An
intuition should provide ample opportunities and facilities for these to students. Amal Jyothi
College of Engineering has been doing just this, as outlined below.
7.2.5. Generation of self-learning facilities, and availability of materials for learning beyond
syllabus (5)
(Instruction: The institution needs to specify the facilities for self-learning/learning beyond
syllabus.)
Amal Jyothi College of Engineering (AJCE) has provided the following facilities to students
for their self-learning and learning beyond syllabus
Infrastructure
1. 24/7 internet access with Wi-Fi connectivity
2. Smart classrooms with audiovisual aids
3. AES Software, Language lab, Computer Labs etc.

The institution supports teachers to make learning efficient. The college provides a central
library with all latest books and journals which the faculty can utilize effectively and provide
comprehensive latest information to students. Students are encouraged to use the library
independently to enhance their skills and knowledge. Apart from this college provides seminar
halls where the students can participate in group discussions, debates, seminars etc. The
institution and faculty members support and encourage every student to make use of Internet,
computers and latest technologies available to upgrade themselves in their respective field of
studies.
Student projects
Every student in AJCE does three projects during their course. Each student is assigned a Micro
project during third semester, a Mini project during fifth semester and a Main project during
seventh and eighth semesters. The students have the freedom to select projects of their choice
in consultation with teachers. Execution of these projects by themselves goes a long way in
developing independent thinking, organizing various elements of work in the project and
finding solutions to problems they face. These projects inculcate creativity and innovative mind
among students. AJCE thinks that execution of these projects will help to transform students in
to life-long learners and innovators.
Promotion of research among Students
The institution has taken keen interest to promote research culture among students. The steps
taken in this regard at the college level are listed below:
1.

Constitution of a Research Committee to mentor and monitor

research among students and to inculcate a scientific and
research environment in the college

2.

Research project for all students are carried out in the campus
itself to make them more research oriented.

3.

Training programs at different levels are organized to introduce

upcoming technologies

4.

Seed money provided by the college for selected student

research projects under a scheme called Innovation Ideas
Unleashed (I2U) (About a dozen I2 U projects are supported
every year). This project competition among students began in
2011.

5.

Encourage research paper presentations in National and

International Seminars

6.

Personal mentoring and guidance by the research supervisor

throughout the research Process.

9.7 New Facility Created (20)

Specify new facilities created during the last three years for strengthening the
curriculum and/or meeting the PO s.
Various new facilities which has been hitherto unavailable to the students have been
created for strengthening the curriculum and/or meeting the P.Os. The important
ones have been listed below

Industrial visits
Industrial visits give the students a firsthand understanding of how big industries
work. Industrial visit is mandatory for all students of the department at least once
in a year

Industrial training

Students are encouraged to undergo industrial training during their semester break in
some industry of their choice. Also a report has to be submitted at the end of industrial
training. Industrial training provides an insight to students about what is happening in the
real world and also supplements their class room knowledge

Software training programmes

The advent of various software has made life of an engineer easy. So it is essential that
students are taught the nuances of various software which would help them in giving
better shape to their ideas as also give them an added advantage in their career prospects.
With this in mind the department has taken a lead in teaching students soft wares like C,
AUTO CAD, PRO -E ANSYS ABAQUS etc.
Workshops
Different workshops related with curriculum are arranged during academic year to
enhance their knowledge in engineering subjects and also students are encouraged to
participate in workshops conducted by other colleges

Participation in paper presentations and technical competitions at the national

and international level

Students are encouraged to participate in paper presentations and technical competitions
at national and international levels.

Projects ( in three levels):

Students have to carry out a project at micro level (second year) where they chose their
area of interest. Micro project mainly aims at familiarizing students with literature review
and introduction to apply their class room knowledge to research. Mini level projects

179

NBA- SAR

Department of Mechanical Engineering

(third year project) aims at exposing students to real world scenarios of the theory they
have studied in class in their area of interest. Main level (final year) project aims at
training them to find solutions to real world problems with their technical knowhow. The
development of students from micro to mini to main project has been found to be very
effective in their growth as engineers.

E- Learning: online Courses

Students are encouraged to use online materials of their courses and also to attend
additional online courses to gain knowledge and experience beyond their curriculum

Aptitude training
Graduate Aptitude Training is given to students during their 3rd and 4th
year in order to make them capable of attending all the competitive exams,
interviews conducted by industries etc.
