are for Interaction between faculty and students) MRMI19- Research Methodology and IPR (Online) for the students who have not studied this course in
the Undergraduate level. This course is not counted for vertical progression, Students have to qualify for the award of the master's degree.
M- Master program xx – ME for Mechanical Engineering Stream, CV for Civil Engineering Stream, EE – Electrical & Electronics Engineering Stream, EC-
Electronics and Communication Engineering Stream, CS- Computer Science and Engineering BA- BusinessAdministrationAR- Architecture- etc.
BSC: Basic Science Courses: Courses like Mathematics/ Science are the prerequisite courses that the concerned engineering stream board of Studies will
decide. PCC: Professional Core Course: Courses related to the stream of engineering, which will have both CIE and SEE components, students have to
qualify in the course for the award of the degree. Integrated Professional Core Course (IPCC): Refers to a Professional Theory Core Course Integrated
with practicals of the same course. The IPCC's theory part shall be evaluated by CIE and SEE. The practical part shall be evaluated by only CIE (no SEE).
However, questions from the practical part of IPCC shall be included in the SEE question paper. Project Based Learning Course (PCC(PB): Project Based
Learning course is a professional core Course only Students have to complete a project out of learning from the course and SEE will be viva voce on project
work. PCCL: Professional Core Course Laboratory: Practical courses whose CIE will be evaluated by the class teacher and SEE will be evaluated by the
two examiners.
Skill development activities: Under Skill development activities in a concerning course, the students should
1. Interact with industry (small, medium, and large).
2. Involve in research/testing/projects to understand their problems and help creative and innovative methods to solve the problem.
3. Involve in case studies and field visits/ fieldwork.
4. Accustom to the use of standards/codes etc., to narrow the gap between academia and industry.
5. Handle advanced instruments to enhance technical talent.
6. Gain confidence in the modelling of systems and algorithms for transient and steady-state operations, thermal study, etc.

7. Work on different software/s (tools) to simulate, analyze and authenticate the output to interpret and conclude.
All activities should enhance student’s abilities to employment and/or self-employment opportunities, management skills, Statistical analysis, fiscal
expertise, etc.Students and the course instructor/s are to be involved either individually or in groups to interact together to enhance the learning and
application skills of the study they have undertaken. The students with the help of the course teacher can take up relevant technical –activities that will
enhance their skills. The prepared report shall be evaluated for CIE marks.

MRMI107-Research Methodology and IPR- None Credit Mandatory Course (NCMC) if students have not studied this course in their undergraduate
program then he /she has to take this course at http://online.vtu.ac.in and to qualify for this course is compulsory before completion of the minimum
duration of the program (Two years), however, this course will not be considered for vertical progression.
