 OUT COME BASED CURRICULAM COURSE COMPONENTS OF THE
DIPLOMA PROGRAMME IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The Diploma Programme in Mechanical engineering shall consist of curricular component
comprising courses in General Studies, Applied Sciences, Basic Courses in Engineering
Departmental Core, and, Specialised Courses in Mechanical Engineering (Electives in
emerging areas).
General Studies
All disciplines shall contain courses in general studies and communication. These are related
to supervisory / management skills. Further, development of communication skills appropriate
to functions of technicians and also complementary to the main courses of the respective
programmes is considered. In addition, courses offered include areas productivity and quality,
safety and entrepreneurial development. A general course on computer literacy and computer
applications is essentially included.
Applied Sciences
Courses under Applied Sciences include Mathematics, Sciences. Topics for these courses are
chosen depending on their requirement for study of the Basic, Interdisciplinary and
Departmental Core courses, as well as to help the students to pursue higher level of studies in
chosen areas.
Basic Courses in Engineering & Technology
Courses in basic Engineering & Technology include Basic Electrical and Electronics
Engineering and Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering Laboratory. These are
necessary for Mechanical disciplines as this will help in the study of the Interdisciplinary and
Departmental Core courses.

Departmental Core courses

These form the core studies relevant to the specific programme and are meant to develop
competencies required and students acquire outcomes as desired by the profession. One of the
courses would be essentially Project work, which is intended to provide opportunity for
students to develop understanding of the inter relationship between courses and to apply the
knowledge gained in a way that enables them to develop and demonstrate higher order skills.
Project work has been given due weightage in terms of time (one year long duration
spreading in V semester and VI semester). Industry-Institution-Interaction should be an
integral component of curriculum wherever possible.

Specialised Courses in Engineering (Electives)

Vide Courses under electives are offered to provide an avenue for limited specialisation in an
area of the students’ choice and should cover new and emerging areas. Examples of such
courses are Plant engineering and industrial safety (Mechanical), “Renewable energy
sources” (Mechanical), “Power plant engineering” (Mech), “Tool engineering” (Auto),)
Refrigeration and air conditioning (Mechanical), “Self employment and entrepreneurship
development” (Mechanical), “Power plant engineering” (Mech), “Automobile engineering”
(Auto),) etc.
