Curriculum development meeting

Report of meeting held on 28 December 2012 Pote Sir Security related courses can be started in computers Android applications must be added

Naik sir 1) Implementing Course: - It must focus on fundamentals. To implement designed course successfully, only dedication from faculty is necessary - Practicals should be without readymade kits. - Number of tutorials can be increased. Clubbing three courses in one practical is not advisable. - EDP should be included by all branches. Dr. Santosh Rane Vaidya Sir The curriculum should be industry oriented Elective subjects can be selected to suit particular industry The effort must be put in to improve communication of the students Practicals should be performance based or case study Curriculum documents must include courses for award of diploma. Simplification should be goal Project based learning is a better approach than theory Certification courses should be increased There should be separate heads of passing in every course (practicals) so clubbing of courses in practicals is not a good idea. Most of the entrepreneurs are diploma holders so EDP should be part of the curriculum 2 weeks program on Lean, TPM, 6 Sigma, Energy management, etc in Mechanical Engineering Program. Grades can be given instead of marks at least for non coded courses.

Dr Karndikar Short forms of the subject names like maths or engg should not be used Verify all the contents of the course from the English language expert s Lab related to microcontroller 2 months industrial training must be part of curriculum. For the term work marks open book test or quizzes can be arranged Question bank must be prepared for all the topics. Question papers must scientifically framed No reexamination More weight age to practicals

Taskar Sir Overall development of the students must be a target Technical Quizzes to be arranged more frequently during a semester All the students should be aware of purchase details like cost or manufacturer of the equipment etc Topic wise guidelines should be given to students like reference book , or page number on which a particular topic can be found Simulation through softwares like matlab Case study should be included the final year to improve logical thinking For repairs and maintenance ,testing the equipment some weight age should be given 10 to 15 questions after every experiment Involve students in all the laboratory development work.

Nathe Sir First we must think about the reasons of changing curriculum. We must answer the questions whether our syllabus is outdated or contents are not proper. Not to separate theory and practical Student centered curriculum Reasons for changing from 70:30 to 80:20 should be clear. Titles should be appropriate.
