.

Content:

Design Engineering 1: (3 credits in Semester 3, 3 credits in Semester 4)

Introduction to product innovation process (Need-requirement-concept-detail-prototype-services-
business)
Modules on: Task clarification and conceptualization: Problem-idea-solution-evaluation
 Problem identification
 Ideation
 Consolidation
 Evaluation
Project: identifying need to developing proof of concept to demonstrate solution selected

Students can tackle simple design problems with engineering content – posed by the teacher or
based on a survey of real life concerns of the public. The second is more effective – the students
“own the problem” - but has to be accepted by the teacher.

Examples: (a) A device to help carry heavy luggage to the upper floors of a building – a building
that has no lifts. (b) Systems to ensure that water does not come out as a jet from the taps in the
lower floors of a tall building. One can insist on multiple realistic solutions and all should be part
of the submission along with statements of their shortcomings or advantages. Teacher should not
entertain fancy solutions – based on fancy ideas - with no engineering or scientific basis.

Short lectures on the topics in the syllabus should parallel the activity.

Design Engineering 2: (3 credits in Semester 5, 3 credits in Semester 6)

Introduction to detail design
Modules on
 Design for performance, safety, reliability
 Design for ergonomics and aesthetics
 Design for manufacturability
 Design for cost, environment
Project: developing the concept into a detailed design with a functional prototype

Here one could ask students to develop products based on themes - “Garbage compactors,
Energy from kitchen waste, etc” making sure that the problems identified by the students within
the themes possess an engineering content and insisting on some facets of design for assembly,
for manufacturability, ......and so on while preparing the design and the prototypes. One could
encourage students to innovate, arrive at multiple solutions and conduct a detailed design of one
of the solutions.
Prototyping requires funds and effort, so it pays to identify one subsystem of the design of the
whole machine. One can insist on prototyping demonstrating at least that sub-system, if not the
whole syst

for the subject.
4. In Institutes, whereas the load is not managed by the lecturers of English only, please nominate the other faculty for
teaching the course of Contributor Personality Development.
(A) Background

The Contributor Personality Program has been designed keeping in mind the following:

1.0 Technology students should not only be excellently trained in the technological field,
they should acquire soft skills if they are to be successful. Every student must also learn
about the techniques of effective participation in a group discussion. He/she must learn
to prepare his/her resume and he/she should also be groomed for presenting
himself/herself at an interview.

2..0 There is a great need to equip students with not only the right skill-sets but also the right
mindsets.

3.0 The „mind-sets‟ needed in today’s environment must support both (i) effective action and
(ii) Values and service oriented behaviour.

Effective action without human values can lead to personal benefits for individuals but a
long-term cost to both nation and society. Human values without effective action can lead
to an inability on the part of the individual to perform and flourish in today‟s
environment.

This combination of effectiveness with human values is crystallized in the concept of

“contributor ship”.

4.0 Students who adopt and develop the right mindsets early in their professional career are
able to bring about a positive and sustainable change in their overall personality.

They are able to grow the right approaches to their peers, seniors, industry, and their own
future. They become more responsible and capable of shaping their own lives.
Therefore, the program may be rightly called a “Contributor Personality Development
Program”.
5.0 Any program of this sort must, in order to be effective, be inspired and guided by a high
ideal and principles/ practices flowing from that ideal.

The Contributor Personality Program is guided by the ideals and ideas of Swami
Vivekananda – who represented in his leonine personality the highest ideals of human
values combined with effective action.

(B) Course Outline

Topics 1-6 relate to the basic axioms or “mental models” that students carry about themselves,
about success, careers, contribution, etc. The right mental models are a necessary prerequisite
for developing into a Contributor.
Topics 7-12 are 6 core practices that will help a student manifest the ideal of contributor ship in
one‟s life.
Topics 13-15 relate to the students capability to connect into the job-market.

Topic Course Title

1 Who is a Contributor
Student develops an appreciation of who the Contributors are and how they
fundamentally differ from Non-contributors in their overall approach to work, to
other human beings, to society as a whole.

2 The Contributor’s identity

Student develops his/ her own answer to the question “who am I?” The student
 becomes aware of the fact that Non-contributors usually define themselves in terms of
what they have acquired in life (e.g. qualifications, position, years of experience, etc.)
while Contributors define themselves in terms of what they will become or
accomplish (e.g. capacity to deliver, commitment and ownership of the organization‟s
purpose, etc.).

3 The Contributor’s vision of success

The student explores the meaning of success in his life. Through this exploration, the
student is expected to recognize that Contributors have a wider definition of success
than Non-contributors. While Non-contributors define success in terms of material
success, achievement, external impact, etc., Contributors are able to widen this
definition of success to include personal fulfillment, development of self-esteem,
ongoing development of personal capabilities etc.

4 The Contributor’s vision of career

The student learns to distinguish between an “acquisitive career” and a “contributive
career”. An acquisitive career is one in which the career-seeker is focused on
acquiring higher position, higher salary, more benefits etc. This preoccupation with
selfish interests often damages the individual‟s career, as well as, damages the
organization and society. A contributive career is one where the career-seeker is
focused on contributing, with rewards being a by-product of the contributions made.

5 The scope of contribution

The student learns to perceive that in all type of work, every type of role, there is a
possibility of contributing at multiple levels – contributing to self, contributing to
organization, and contributing to society.

The student also appreciates the difference between “acquisition for self” and
“contribution to self” – the former being material acquisition and the latter being
conscious development of oneself through the medium of one‟s career.

6 Embarking on the journey to contributor ship

The student recognizes the fundamental “building blocks” for becoming a Contributor
– the first building block being a shift from a “victim” to being a “creator of one‟s
destiny”; the second building block being acceptance of the ideal of contributor ship;
the third building block being the willingness to take full responsibility for one‟s own
development; the fourth building block being the capacity to reflect on one‟s
development and make appropriate modifications.
7 Design Solutions
When faced with a challenge, the Contributor‟s first response is: “Can we find a
solution?” This is unlike a Non-contributor who may respond to the challenge by
trying a little and giving up, blaming others, or finding excuses to cover up the issue.

Whereas, the Contributor finds a solution. In other words, the Contributor develops
the capacity to find solutions through continuous practice and learning from other
Contributors.

In this topic, students learn the importance of willingness and ability to find solutions.

8 Focus on value
What does creating value mean? It means making a positive difference, a tangible
impact, a specific contribution to any situation. This positive difference or impact can
be in the form of achieving a specific goal, creating a product, creating „human touch‟
in a particular interaction, or enhancing one‟s own capacity, or the capacity of one‟s
colleagues and team- mates.

Contributors are therefore extremely result-focused, but the result is measured in

terms of value created.

In this topic, students learn to clarify the meaning of the word “value” and how value
is created in various situations.

9 Engage deeply
Contributors are instantly distinguished by the way they approach work. They get
involved. They are enthusiastic. They go deep into the subject. In short, Contributors
love what they do.

This is in direct contrast to Non-contributors who want to do only what they love - an
approach that seems reasonable until you realize that life and workplaces have so
much variety that you may very often be called upon to do tasks that seem unpleasant
or boring until you get involved.

In this topic, students learn the importance of engaging deeply with whatever work
they do – at work, in study, in personal life.

10 Think in Enlightened Self-interest

Contributors think in Enlightened Self-Interest. In every situation they get into, they
find a way to create something good for self and for all at the same time – including
team mates, bosses, customers and their organization.

Contrasting to this is the mindset of a Non-Contributor. Such a person is only

concerned with his/ her own self-interest in a situation. He/she is not concerned about
the impact (positive or negative) on the other person. This leads to unpleasant
 situations, broken relationships, unhappy team-mates, subordinates, and bosses, and
lower trust in any situation.

Students are expected to learn to appreciate the importance of thinking win-win for
all stakeholders and also in various situations.

11 Practice Imaginative Sympathy

One of the unique qualities of Contributors is their ability to appreciate and
understand others‟ life situation, others‟ mental condition, and others‟ point of view.
How do they do this?

They have consciously developed a „way of thinking‟ called „Imaginative Sympathy‟.

In this way of thinking, they are able to give due importance to the human aspects of
a situation, and not just the technical or commercial aspects.

But this is not all. Imaginative Sympathy goes beyond looking at the human aspects
of the situation. It also means that Contributors are able to anticipate possible
interactions or reactions, they are able to take a multi-dimensional view of a situation
and they are able to bring about changes or results while taking everybody along with
them.

Imaginative Sympathy translates itself into active concern for others. Students will
learn the importance and consequences of Imaginative Sympathy in a workplace
situation.

12 Demonstrate Trust Behavior

Contributors recognize that they are able to achieve results and make contributions
with the help of other human beings. They receive this help if and only if they are
trusted and, in turn, trust. Contributors practice trust behavior from very early in their
career, thereby building a huge trust balance (like a bank balance) over their career
and relationships.

The term Trust Behavior may be described as character-in-action. This includes

keeping one‟s word and commitments, staying with a task, acting with integrity in
every situation, making sure that there is complete transparency in one‟s actions and
interactions, etc.

Students are expected to learn to develop a deep appreciation of trust behavior and
how it is practiced.

13 Resume Building
In this topic, students learn to develop a resume for the job-market. Students will
learn to develop both a generic resume and resumes specific to some types of jobs.
Students learn about best practices and common errors in developing their resume.
 Most important, students learn to analyze the jobs offered and present themselves in
terms of their potential / willingness to contribute to the job.

14 Group Discussions (GDs)

In this topic, students learn (i) how to participate in a group discussion from the
contributor‟s view-point (i.e. how to speak) (ii) how to contribute to the development
of the topic (i.e. what to speak) and (iii) to develop the Contributor‟s view-point on
various GD topics (i.e. how to interpret a topic of discussion from the point of view of
a contributor)

15 Interview Skills
In this topic, students learn about (i) common interview questions and how to develop
answers (ii) typical challenges faced in interviews beyond the questions (such as body
language, grooming, presentation) (iii) most important, the student learns the
importance of trust building and creating confidence in the interview.
