To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, the issue of quality needs to
be addressed, debated and taken forward in a systematic manner. Accreditation is the principal means
of quality assurance in higher education. The major emphasis of accreditation process is to measure
the outcomes of the program that is being accredited. In line with this Faculty of Science and
Technology (in particular Engineering) of University of Mumbai has taken a lead in incorporating
philosophy of outcome based education in the process of curriculum development.
Faculty resolved that course objectives and course outcomes are to be clearly defined for each course,
so that all faculty members in affiliated institutes understand the depth and approach of course to be
taught, which will enhance learner’s learning process. Choice based Credit and grading system enables
a much-required shift in focus from teacher-centric to learner-centric education since the workload
estimated is based on the investment of time in learning and not in teaching. It also focuses on
continuous evaluation which will enhance the quality of education. Credit assignment for courses is
based on 15 weeks teaching learning process, however content of courses is to be taught in 13 weeks
and remaining 2 weeks to be utilized for revision, guest lectures, coverage of content beyond syllabus
etc.
There was a concern that the earlier revised curriculum more focused on providing information and
knowledge across various domains of the said program, which led to heavily loading of students in
terms of direct contact hours. In this regard, faculty of science and technology resolved that to
minimize the burden of contact hours, total credits of entire program will be of 170, wherein focus is
not only on providing knowledge but also on building skills, attitude and self learning. Therefore in
the present curriculum skill based laboratories and mini projects are made mandatory across all
disciplines of engineering in second and third year of programs, which will definitely facilitate self
learning of students. The overall credits and approach of curriculum proposed in the present revision
is in line with AICTE model curriculum.
The present curriculum will be implemented for Second Year of Engineering from the academic year
2021-22. Subsequently this will be carried forward for Third Year and Final Year Engineering in the
academic years 2022-23, 2023-24, respectively.
The curriculum revision is mainly focused on knowledge component, skill based activities and
project based activities. Self learning opportunities are provided to learners. In the revision process
this time in particular Revised syllabus of ‘C’ scheme wherever possible additional resource links
of platforms such as NPTEL, Swayam are appropriately provided. In an earlier revision of
curriculum in the year 2012 and 2016 in Revised scheme ‘A' and ‘B' respectively, efforts were
made to use online contents more appropriately as additional learning materials to enhance
learning of students.
In the current revision based on the recommendation of AICTE model curriculum overall credits
are reduced to 171, to provide opportunity of self learning to learner. Learners are now getting
sufficient time for self learning either through online courses or additional projects for enhancing
their knowledge and skill sets.
The Principals/ HoD’s/ Faculties of all the institute are required to motivate and encourage learners
to use additional online resources available on platforms such as NPTEL/ Swayam. Learners can
be advised to take up online courses, on successful completion they are required to submit
certification for the same. This will definitely help learners to facilitate their enhanced learning
based on their interest.
The revised syllabus is finalized through a brain storming session attended by Heads of
Departments or senior faculty from the Department of Computer Engineering of the
affiliated Institutes of the Mumbai University. The syllabus falls in line with the
objectives of affiliating University, AICTE, UGC, and various accreditation agencies by
keeping an eye on the technological developments, innovations, and industry
requirements.
We would like to place on record our gratefulness to the faculty, students, industry
experts and stakeholders for having helped us in the formulation of this syllabus.

out in two semesters by all the groups of the students. i.e. Mini Project 2 in semesters V
and VI.
10 However, based on the individual students or group capability, with the mentor’s
recommendations, if the proposed Mini Project adhering to the qualitative aspects
mentioned above, gets completed in odd semester, then that group can be allowed to work
on the extension of the Mini Project with suitable improvements/modifications or a
completely new project idea in even semester. This policy can be adopted on a case by
case basis.
Term Work
