semesters. The first semester consists of 17 weeks and the second semester consists of 17 weeks for
classroom activities and 10 weeks for Industrial practical training. Therefore the whole programmer
has a total of 44 weeks of study for the fulltime attendance mode.
5.2 Curriculum Overview
STRUCTURE OF AC ADEMIC PROGRAMME

5.2.1 Fundamental Modules
They provide a range of basic skills, knowledge and principle appropriate for a graduate in all the fields

of engineering as well as for the underpinning and effective study of the main theme of the programmer.
They also provide a viable foundation for further studies and lifelong learning.
5.2.2 Core Module

Modules associated with the core studies provide the development of the main theme of the
programmer. They broadly represent the main areas of activity in the respective disciplines, and the
in-depth treatment of them will enable graduate to rapidly become effective technicians or engineers
in the industries associated with the discipline. These modules are taught with fundamental ones so as
to enable students gain an appreciation of the nature and complexities of real engineering systems. In
order to achieve an integration of these modules there will be considerable use of mode of integration
of laboratory, workshops, fields, lectures and assignment work. In addition, case studies will be used in
the module.
5.2.3 Elective Module

Elective modules provide an opportunity for in depth study in specific subjects to level not possible
in the core modules and thereby present a greater intellectual challenge. Also they give students the
ability to work within a multidisciplinary team/task.
5.3 Mode of Training
The two major parts of training, the theoretical and practical parts carry almost the same weight. The
former part is conducted in the college class rooms while the later is carried out in the well equipped
college workshops and in industries as industrial training. At the end of each academic year, students
attend industrial training for ten (10) weeks. The main purpose of the industrial practical training is to
give the students a chance to apply what she/he has learnt at the college in industry and to make him/
her appreciate the real working environment which he/she will experience after completing his/her
studies.
