SCOPE OF DIPLOMA IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.
Mechanical, the versatile branch of engineering plays a cardinal role for

multifaceted, rapid and sustainable socio-economic development of the nation covering
each and every aspect of human life. It is concerned with the power generation,
production, design and manufacturing, fabrication, automobile, refrigeration and air-
conditioning, quality assurance, quality control etc. It is a bedrock upon which the
survival and prosperity of whole industrial world rests.
We live in a world of constant change and globalization has changed the ways of
organization functions. Customers occupy the centrestage of business and there is
pressing need for organization to be more creative with the ability to generate new
products, practices and processes. Today prime motive of the industries is to reduce
the cost of product, increase productivity, integrate complex technologies and extend
value to the product. To keep pace with the in the industrial world, the strong, innovative
and well-qualified technical manpower is pre-requisite. They must be able to design and
give solutions to the problems in the real world.
Tremendous progress has been made in the field of mechanical engineering
such as ultimate design of machineries, tools and equipments and materials with the
help of which world class products and services are made available. This demands
technicians of complex skills and knowledge to cope up with the changing world of
efficiency and effectiveness. The combination of mechanical with other branches as a
wide professional practice has experienced the surge of growth and outcome of this is
the transformation of industries to produce heavy duty sophisticated machine tools and
equipments having higher precision and functionality. This made technicians and
engineers from mechanical to adopt interdisciplinary and integrated approach. Such
type of technicians and engineers is the demand of today’s industrial world. Therefore
the diploma in mechanical engineering envisages in developing competent technicians
with a number of professional skills who can perform their jobs in the industries or as an
entrepreneurs effectively and efficiently. In industries, in small businesses or in
educational establishments, the mechanical technicians with necessary skills will be
able to plan, maintain, design and manufacture, handle advanced machineries and
equipments, deliver management functions and have a capacity to improve the existing
system and develop new methods.

STRATEGY ADOPTED FOR CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION
Curriculum development is a dynamic process, which is governed by the

contemporary needs of the user-system. All the activities in any academic
institution are guided by the curricula operating in the institution. Design of
curricula and their implementation therefore requires utmost attention of one and
all for its effectiveness.
It was felt that design, review/revision should be based on scientific principles of

educational technology and theories of learning and it must reflect the needs,
expectations and aspirations of stakeholders/ clients in the technician education
system. These needs of user system mainly fall in the following four domains
namely
• Personal development domain

• Social development domain
• Continued learning skills domain
• Earning to live’ or ‘Professional Skills’ development domain
.
Curriculum is designed on competency based. All competencies needed for
mechanical diploma holder is first listed. Based on this structure of curriculum is
prepared. Attempts have been made in this document to address to the
expectations of the user system from the Diploma pass outs. If implemented in
right spirit, it would pay much better dividends, it is hoped.
APPROACH TO DESIGN OF CURRICULUM
• This Curriculum has been designed on the systematic approach based on

competency-based curriculum of educational technology and theories of
learning.
The data is collected in following ways
• Feedback of alumni
vi
• Feedback of staff
• Past experience of 3 years.
• Through observational records
• By study of documents used in industries, expert reports, newspapers and
trade literatures etc., their views on different aspects of the curriculum.
• Through a series of discussions in programme committee.
Taking into account the knowledge, skills/competencies, attitudes etc. required

to be possessed by the diploma pass outs the content of different courses is
designed.
While designing the curriculum emphasis is given on following points.

• New/emerging technologies being used in the world of work.
• Personal values and social skills required to be possessed.
• Skills related to life-long learning and independent study.
• Professional skills required for different jobs along a career path.
Describing roles/ functions of a technician
A technician, say for example in a medium size engineering enterprise, working at

middle level management position may have to carry out jobs in different
departments. These are identified as
• Installation, inspection, production & control

• Repair & maintenance
• Marketing and sales
• Purchase & Store
• Observation at Site
• Analysis, Design and Costing.
• Research & development
Designing content of each curriculum area
• Different courses are categorized as

Foundation Level
Basic Level
Allied Level
Applied Level
Diversified Level
• Curriculum scheme of each course along with course code is given at the
beginning
• Competencies to be developed are identified and written.
• Rationale of each course is highlighted.
• Objectives of each course are highlighted and written.
vii
• Content outline in descriptive form was derived. Generally the content

outline of a subject was divided into chapters and then from chapters into
topic outline.
• Having derived the total content outlines i.e. Theory. At the end of the
theory content list of practical is added for each course, following were
arrived at by consensus-
Time required by a teacher to teach the prescribed theory and
practical parts
Number of courses per term to be taken.
Total no. of hours required to teach the entire course.
Total no. of lectures and practicals per week.
• Approach to the assessment of student’s learning and types of

assessment techniques to be used were decided. An assessment scheme
was designed, which is a suitable mix of (a) continuous evaluation of term-
work (b) progressive test (c) Term end examination.
• Implementation strategies for each subject were identified.
• Learning resources for students were prescribed such as

Teacher’s lecture notes
Basic text-book covering most of the topics in the curriculum and
other books
Monographs, handbooks, periodicals, articles, journals etc.
Data-books, manuals, standards etc
In all these activities, views of senior teachers regarding relevance of

course contents and implementation strategies being presently followed
are sought.

Programme structure consisting of teaching and examination schemes was finally

arrived at through consensus. The approach followed for curriculum development
is shown diagrammatically as follows:-
