(v) INTERDISCIPLINARY ELECTIVE

Engineering students frequently aspire to work in areas and domains that are key
topics in the industry. There are concerns by recruiters that skill sets of engineering
students did not match with the Industry requirements, especially in the field of latest
topics. In response to their desires, the University has incorporated
Industry/Interdisciplinary electives in the curriculum. Interdisciplinary knowledge is
critical for connecting students with current industry trends, where multitasking is the
norm. Interdisciplinary knowledge aids in the bridge- building process between
academic institutions and industry. It aids pupils in expanding their knowledge and
innovating by allowing them to create something new. While core engineering courses
provide students with a strong foundation, evolving technology necessitates new
methods and approaches to progress, prosperity, and the inculcation of problem-
solving techniques. Other courses' knowledge, on the other hand, can assist them to
deal with any scenario more effectively. Interdisciplinary courses may be one approach

12
 to address such needs, as they can aid in the enhancement of engineering education
and the integration of desirable specialized subjects into the current engineering
education system. This will enable students to fulfill the current industry demands.
Students with multidisciplinary knowledge and projects are more likely to be placed in
top industries, according to the placement trend. The future of developing engineers
will be influenced by their understanding of emerging technology and interdisciplinary
approaches such as big data, machine learning, and 3-D printing.
Continuous Internal Evaluation: 40 marks

(vi) MOOC COURSES

The MOOC course shall be considered only if it is conducted by the agencies namely
AICTE/NPTEL/SWAYAM or NITTTR. The MOOC course should have a minimum

13
 duration of 8 weeks and the content of the syllabus shall be enough for at least 40
hours of teaching. The course should have a proctored/offline end semester
examination. The students can do the MOOC according to their convenience, but
shall complete it by third semester. The list of MOOC courses will be provided by the
concerned BoS if at least 70% of the course content match with the area/stream of
study. The course shall not be considered if its content has more than 50% of overlap
with a core/elective course in the concerned discipline or with an open elective.

MOOC Course to be successfully completed before the commencement of fourth

semester (starting from semester 1). A credit of 2 will be awarded to all students
whoever successfully completes the MOOC course as per the evaluation pattern of the
respective agency conducting the MOOC.
(vii) MINIPROJECT
Total marks: 100, only CIA
Mini project can help to strengthen the understanding of student’s fundamentals
through application of theoretical concepts and to boost their skills and widen the
horizon of their thinking. The ultimate aim of an engineering student is to resolve a
problem by applying theoretical knowledge. Doing more projects increases problem-
solving skills. The introduction of mini projects ensures preparedness of students to
undertake dissertation. Students should identify a topic of interest in consultation with
PG Programme Coordinator that should lead to their dissertation/research project.
Demonstrate the novelty of the project through the results and outputs. The progress of
the mini project is evaluated based on three reviews, two interim reviews and a final
review. A report is required at the end of the semester.

Interim evaluation: 40 (20 marks for each review), final evaluation by a Committee (will
be evaluating the level of completion and demonstration of
functionality/specifications, clarity of presentation, oral examination, work knowledge
and involvement): 35, Report (the committee will be evaluating for the technical
content, adequacy of references, templates followed and permitted plagiarism level is
not more than 25%): 15, Supervisor/Guide: 10

 TEACHING ASSISTANCESHIP (TA)

All M Tech students irrespective of their category of admission shall undertake TA

duties for a minimum duration as per the curriculum. Being a TA, the student will get
an excellent opportunity to improve their expertise in the technical content of the
course, enhance communication skills, obtain a hands-on experience in handling the
experiments in the laboratory and improve peer interactions.

The possible TA responsibilities include the following: facilitate a discussion section or

tutorial for a theory/ course, facilitate to assist the students for a laboratory course,
serve as a mentor for students, and act as the course web-master. TAs may be
required to attend the instructor's lecture regularly. A TA shall not be employed as a
substitute instructor, where the effect is to relieve the instructor of his or her teaching
responsibilities (specifically prohibited by University Policy).

For the tutorial session:

(i) Meet the teacher and understand your responsibilities well in advance, attend the
lectures of the course for which you are a tutor, work out the solutions for all the
tutorial problems yourself, approach the teacher if you find any discrepancy or if you
need help in solving the tutorial problems, use reference text books, be innovative and
express everything in English only.

(ii) Try to lead the students to the correct solutions by providing appropriate hints rather
than solving the entire problem yourself, encourage questions from the students, lead
the group to a discussion based on their questions, plan to ask them some questions
be friendly and open with the students, simultaneously being firm with them.

(iii) Keep track of the progress of each student in your group, give a periodic feedback to
the student about his/her progress, issue warnings if the student is consistently
under-performing, report to the faculty if you find that a particular student is
consistently underperforming, pay special attention to slow-learners and be open to
the feedback and comments from the students and faculty.

(iv) After the tutorial session you may be required to grade the
tutorials/assignments/tests. Make sure that you work out the solutions to the

15
 questions yourself, and compare it with the answer key, think and work out possible
alternate solutions to the same question, understand the marking scheme from the
teacher. Consult the teacher if are and make sure that you are not partial to some
student/students while grading. Follow basic ethics.
Handling a laboratory Session:

(i) Meet the faculty – in- charge a few days in advance of the actual lab class and get the
details of the experiment, get clarifications from him/her regarding all aspects of the
experiment and the expectations, prepare by reading about the theoretical background
of the experiment, know the physical concepts involved in the experiment, go to the
laboratory and check out the condition of the equipment/instrumentation, perform the
laboratory experiment at least once one or two days before the actual laboratory class,
familiarize with safety/ security aspects of the experiment / equipment/laboratory,
prepare an instruction sheet for the experiment in consultation with the faculty, and
keep sufficient copies ready for distribution to students for their reference.

(ii) Verify condition of the equipment/set up about 30 minutes before the students arrive
in the class and be ready with the hand outs, make brief introductory remarks about
the experiment, its importance, its relevance to the theory they have studied in the
class, ask the students suitable questions to know there level of preparation for the
experiment, discuss how to interpret results, ask them comment on the results.

(iii) Correct/evaluate/grade the submitted reports after receiving suitable instructions

from the faculty in charge, continue to interact with students if they have any
clarifications regarding any aspect of the laboratory session, including of course
grading, Carefully observe instrument and human safety in laboratory class, Preparing
simple questions for short oral quizzing during explanation of experiments enables
active participation of students, facilitate attention, provides feedback and formative
assessment.
