COURSE DETAIL

Sl. No Topic Hours Mechanical

Engineering
1. The course attempts to incorporate modern educational 40
paradigm of ‘student centric brain based synaptic
learning’, by creating a web based course content that
incorporates the following features: Pre-requisites:

a. Programmed learning (High school physics)

b. Assessment of the student profile

Additional Reading:
c. Administering of the right learning module in
accordance with an assessed student profile. Shames, I.H., ‘Engineering
