Introduction

to

For example, Civil Engineering students shall study Introduction to Civil Engineering, Chemical
Engineering students shall study Introduction to Chemical Engineering and Information Technology
students shall study Introduction to Computer Sciences and Information Technology etc

2. Institutions can recommend one of four other Basic Engineering courses offered
during this semester.

3. The five workshop programmes will be connected with the Basics of Engineering courses
offered. The students should attend two workshops in S1 and two in S2
For example, students opting Introduction to Civil Engineering or Basic Civil Engineering should
attend the Civil Engineering Workshop, students opting Introduction to Mechanical Engineering or
Basic Mechanical Engineering should attend the Mechanical Engineering Workshop, students opting
Introduction to Chemical Engineering should attend the Chemical Engineering Workshop and
students opting Introduction to Computer Science and Information Technology should attend the
Computer Science Workshop etc. The students shall be introduced to the various components, the
dismantling and assembly of various equipments and some preliminary hands on training with
different tools.

4. Engineering Physics and Engineering Chemistry shall be offered in both semesters.

Institutions can advise students belonging to about 50% of the number of branches in the
institution to opt for Engineering Physics in S1 and Engineering Chemistry in S2 and vice
versa. The students opting for Engineering Physics in S1 should attend Engineering Physics
Lab in S1 and students opting for Engineering Chemistry in S1 should opt for Engineering
Chemistry Lab in S1.
5. Course I is a Pass/Fail course, the Institutions should conduct diagnostic tests to
identify the training requirements of each student and advise them to attend the suitable
programme. The students who excel in all diagnostic tests can be assigned Micro projects
under the guidance of faculty members.
