CURRICULUM STRUCTURE
Outcome Based Education (OBE)
RATIONALE

To teach the students the basic Concepts, Principles and operations of Vector, Matrices and
Application of Geometry. The aim of this course is to develop the analytical capability of
Vector, Matrices and Geometry. Finally this course is designed to develop the capability of
students to solve practical problems.

OBJECTIVE
1. To impart basic knowledge on the Vector Analysis, Matrix and Geometry.
2. To familiarize the students with the working principle of calculating differentiation and
integration of vector valued functions in Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical geometry.
3. To provide knowledge on using the concept of vector, matrix and Geometry in engineering
area and solve other applied problems.
4. To be expert in imparting depth knowledge on the vector analysis, matrix and co-ordinate
geometry.
