FOREWORD

Rapid industrialization and globalization has created an environment for free flow of
information and technology through fast and efficient means. This has led to shrinking of
the world, bringing people from different culture and environment together and giving rise
to the concept of world turning into a global village. In order to cope with the challenges of
handling new materials, machines and technologies, we have to develop human
resources having appropriate competencies. There is an increasing demand of skilled
workforce in India in particular and the world over in general. Under the new
circumstances, India faces a challenging task of meeting the technical manpower
requirement, especially in the area of skilled workforce to cater to industrial needs. Efforts
have to be made so that passouts from our technical institutions are acceptable at global
level.
Technical education system is one of the significant components of the human resource
development and has grown phenomenally during all these years. Technical institutions
play an important role in meeting the requirements of trained technical manpower for
industries and field organizations. The initiatives being taken by Maharaja Ranjit Singh
Punjab Technical University (MRSPTU), Bathinda, Punjab to start the skill oriented
integrated courses at certificate, diploma and degree level, as per the needs of the
industry, are laudable.
In order to meet the future requirements of technical manpower, we will have to revamp
our existing technical education system and one of the most important requirements is to
develop outcome-based curricula of technical programmes at various levels. The curricula
for various programmes have been revised by adopting time-tested and nationally
acclaimed scientific method, laying emphasis on the identification of learning outcomes of
programme and various courses.
The success of any technical programme depends upon its effective implementation.
However best the curriculum document is designed, if it is not implemented properly, the
output will not be as per expectations. In addition to acquisition of appropriate physical
resources, availability of motivated, competent and qualified faculty is equally essential for
effective implementation of the curricula.
It is expected that MRSPTU will carry out curriculum evaluation on a continuous basis to
identify the new skill requirements. At the same time, it is expected that innovative
methods of course offering will be used to develop desired skills and infuse the much
needed dynamism in the system.

PREFACE

Curriculum document is a comprehensive plan of an educational programme. It is through

the curriculum that the educational objectives of a programme are achieved. It has to be
ensured that the curriculum is dynamic, articulated, balanced, data based, feasible, and as
per industrial needs. Curriculum Development Centre at NITTTR, Chandigarh has been
extending services to technical education system of the states in northern region in
developing and updating their curriculum on regular basis.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Technical University (MRSPTU), Bathinda, Punjab assigned
the project for developing the curriculum of some integrated programmes to this
institute in the month of May 2016. A series of curriculum workshops were held
during the months of June-July, 2016. This curriculum document is an outcome of the
extensive discussions held with the representatives from various organizations, technical
institutions and industry during the curriculum workshops. While developing the study and
evaluation scheme and detailed contents, the following aspects have been kept in mind :

- Employment Opportunities of Certificate holders

- Job role of certificate holders
- Learning outcome of the Programme
- Mobility of students for their professional growth

We have taken cognizance of recommendation of experts both from industry and

academic institutions and have adequately incorporated segments of Industrial
Training in the curriculum. Time has specifically been allocated for undertaking
extra-curricular activities. Emphasis has been laid on developing and improving
communication skills in the students for which units on Communication Skills have
been introduced in both the semesters of the certificate course.

We hope that this curriculum document will prove useful in producing skilled
manpower at desired level in the state of Punjab. The success of this outcome-
based curriculum depends upon its effective implementation and it is expected that
MRSPTU will make all efforts to create better facilities, develop linkages with the
world-of-work and foster conducive and requisite learning environment as
prescribed in the curriculum document.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING – I (4 Weeks)

The purpose of industrial training is to:

Develop understanding regarding the size and scale of operations and nature of
industrial/field work in which students are going to play their role after completing
the courses of study.

Develop confidence amongst the students through first hand experience to enable
them to use and apply institute based knowledge and skills to perform field activities

Develop special skills and abilities like interpersonal skills, communication

skills, attitudes and values.

It is needless to emphasize further the importance of Industrial Training of students

during their one year certificate programme. It is industrial training, which provides an
opportunity to students to experience the environment and culture of world of work. It

8. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION

AND EVALUATION

Since this skill development course is tailor made i.e. designed to meet the
requirement of selected group of students for developing desired competencies in the
given trade, it is pertinent for trainers to understand the design philosophy and arrange
teaching-learning process using appropriate strategies. The following points may be
considered by the trainer at the time of planning the training programme and
subsequently during the implementation and evaluation stages:

1. There are multiple competencies in each unit. The course curriculum also
includes a core unit on developing effective communication and
entrepreneurial qualities. Each unit has specific competencies which trainees
are expected to acquire at the end of the each unit. In order to achieve these
competencies, the curriculum describes the practice tasks/exercises and related
theoretical knowledge. Time has been allocated for both of these components.

2. The curriculum is designed for contact period of 35 hours per week but can be
increased/changed as per convenience of the trainees and the trainer.

3. The trainer will assess the attainment of each specific learning outcome of the
individual learner and will maintain record whether the trainee has achieved
desired level i.e. Yes/No. In case of ‘No’ the trainee will work further to learn
and attain the desired skills till s/he earns ‘Yes’.

4. Each learning outcome will be assessed/tested by the trainee as per acceptable

norms and record will be maintained for final certification. The final
assessment of skills attained through practice jobs and acquisition of relevant
knowledge should preferably be carried out appropriately.

5. The examiner will set an objective type question paper for theory
examinations of each unit under final assessment. Preferably the question
paper should aim at testing the understanding of basic principles and concepts
by students and their applications.

6. The final assessment of practical skills development should not be limited to

testing a few units, but should spread over to all the acquired skills in an
integrated manner. It should ultimately assess the ability of the student to
accomplish the desired learning outcomes of the programme.
