2. Institutions can recommend one of four other Basic Engineering courses offered
during this semester for every branch. However, the basic course selected should
exclude the one corresponding to their branch of specialization. eg. Student who took
Introduction to Civil Engineering should not take Basics of Civil Engineering; student who
took Introduction to Electrical Engineering should not take Basics of Electrical
Engineering
3. The six basic engineering workshops will be connected with the Introductory or Basics
of Engineering courses offered. The students should attend two workshops in Semester
1 and two in Semester 2.

For example, students opting Introduction to Civil Engineering or Basics of Civil

Engineering should attend the Civil Engineering Workshop, students opting Introduction
to Mechanical Engineering or Basics of Mechanical Engineering should attend the
Mechanical Engineering Workshop, students opting Introduction to Chemical
Engineering should attend the Chemical Engineering Workshop and students opting
Introduction to Computing and Problem Solving should attend the Computer Science
Workshop etc. In addition, the students should attend one more workshop course in
Semester 1, corresponding to the other Basic Engineering course they had been
assigned by the institution. The workshop courses corresponding to both introductory
and basic courses are same. However, the institutions may allot exercises or
experiments listed in the syllabus based on the contents of corresponding theory
course.

4. Engineering Physics and Engineering Chemistry shall be offered in both semesters.

Institutions can advise students belonging to about 50% of the number of branches in
the institution to opt for Engineering Physics in S1 and Engineering Chemistry in S2 and
vice versa. Students opting for Engineering Physics in S1 should attend Engineering
Physics Lab in S1 and students opting for Engineering Chemistry in S1 should opt for
Engineering Chemistry Lab in S1.

5. Engineering Mechanics and Engineering Graphics shall be offered in both semesters.

Institutions can advise students belonging to about 50% of number of branches in the
institution to opt for Engineering Mechanics in Semester 1 and Engineering Graphics in
Semester 2 and vice versa.
6. It may be noted that for items 4 and 5 above, all students belonging to a particular
branch of study must be assigned the same course during one semester. For example,
all students belonging to Electrical and Electronics Engineering in an institution may be
assigned Engineering Physics and Engineering Physics lab, while all students in
Electronics and Communication Engineering branch may be assigned Engineering
Chemistry and Chemistry lab. Likewise, all students in Civil Engineering branch may be
assigned Engineering Graphics, while all students in Mechanical Engineering branch may
be allotted the Engineering Mechanics in Semester 1 and vice versa in Semester 2.
7. For Course U, the Institutions should conduct diagnostic tests to identify the training requirements
of each student and advise them to attend the suitable programme. The students who excel in all
diagnostic tests can be assigned Micro projects under the guidance of faculty members. The classes for
which BE110 Engineering Graphics is offered under slot C may be divided into two batches and these
batches shall attend CAD Practice lab & Language Lab in alternate weeks.

8. Course V is for earning activity points outside academic hours, the details are covered in rules and
regulations of KTU.

Note 1: Institutions can assign two of four of Basics of Engineering courses not
already taken by the student in the previous semester and the corresponding
Workshop courses in Semester 2. CS 100 Basics of Computer Programming &
CS120 Computer Programming Lab are mandatory for Computer Science &
Engineering and Information Technology branches. Other branches are not
allowed to opt these courses.
Note 2: For Course U, the classes for which BE110 Engineering Graphics is
offered under slot C may be divided into two batches and these batches shall
attend CAD Practice lab & Language Lab in alternate weeks.

Note: The Curriculum for Semesters I and II 2015 is slightly modified. The modifications are
highlighted in red colour. The modified curriculum will not affect failed students of 2015 batch
