MESSAGE
The quality of technical education depends on many factors but largely on-
outcome based socially and industrially relevant curriculum, good quality
motivated faculty, teaching learning process, effective industry internship and
evaluation of students based on desired outcomes. Therefore, it was imperative
that a Model Curriculum be prepared by best experts from academia and industry,
keeping in view the latest industry trends and market requirements and be made
available to all universities / board of technical education and engineering
institutions in the country. AICTE constituted team of experts to prepare the
model curriculum of UG Degree Course in Mechatronics Engineering. Similar
exercise is done for other UG, Diploma and PG level in engineering, MBA, PGDM,
Architecture, etc.
It comprises of basic science and engineering courses, having focus on
fundamentals, significant discipline level courses and ample electives both from
the disciplines and cross disciplines including emerging areas all within a
cumulative structure of 163 credits. Summer Internships have been embedded
to make the student understand the industry requirements and have hands on
experience. Virtual Labs has been introduced for few experiments. Also, most
courses have been mapped to its equivalent SWAYAM/NPTEL Course to offer an
alternative for learning that course online from SWAYAM. These features will
allow students to develop a problem-solving approach to face the challenges in
the future and develop outcome based learning approach.
As a major initiative by AICTE, a three-week mandatory induction program for
students has also been designed and has to be given at the beginning of the course.
The idea behind this is to make the students feel comfortable in their new
environment, open them up, set a healthy daily routine, develop awareness,
sensitivity and understanding of the self, people around them, society at large,
and nature.
AICTE places on record, special thanks to Prof. Sunil Jha, Prof. S.D. Agashe, Prof.
Ashiv Shah and Mr. Vikram Mattoo. We are sure that this Model Curriculum will
help to enhance not just the employability skills but will also enable youngsters
to become job creators.
We strongly urge the institutions / universities / boards of technical education in
India to adopt this Model Curriculum at the earliest. This is a suggestive
curriculum and the concerned university / institution / board should build on and
exercise flexibility in readjustment of courses within the overall 163 credits.

PREFACE
Taking cognisance of growing concern about quality of technical education in
India, AICTE in its 49th council meeting held on 14.03.2017 approved a package
of measures for improving quality of technical education - Revision of Curriculum,
Mandatory Internship, and Student Induction Program were amongst the few.
AICTE constituted committee of academia industry experts to prepare model
curriculum of UG Course in Mechatronics Engineering. During the development
of curriculum, the employability and employment opportModuleies for
graduates, future ready workforce who will be skilled enough to handle the rapid
growth in the field of Mechatronics were kept in mind.
AICTE has introduced mandatory internship in the new curriculum which will
equip the students with practical understanding and training about industry
practices in a suitable industry or organization. In the course of development of
model curriculum, the committee took feedback of industry experts on the draft
curriculum and accordingly modified the draft before finalization. This exercise
has ensured that essential emphasis on industry requirements and market
trends, employability and problem solving approach is given.
After due deliberations, the scheme and syllabus have been formulated. Salient
features of this model curriculum are enumerated as under:
 Reduced number of credits.
 Introduction of Student Induction Program.
 Well defined learning objectives & outcomes for each course.
 Inclusion of courses on socially relevant topics.
 Built-in flexibility to the students in terms of professional elective and open
elective courses.
 Mandatory internship to equip the students with practical knowledge and
provide them exposure to real time industrial environments.
 Virtual Labs.
 Mapping of Courses to its equivalent NPTEL/SWAYAM Course.
 Course on ‘Entrepreneurship and Startups’ to encourage entrepreneurial
mindset.
I gratefully acknowledge the time and efforts of the members of the working
group namely Prof. Sunil Jha of IIT Delhi; Prof. S.D. Agashe of College of
Engineering, Pune; Prof. Ashiv Shah of AKG Engineering College and Mr. Vikram

Mode Of Conduct (L-T-P-C 2-1-0-3 or 2L:1T:0P 3 credits): Lectures hours are


to be used for interactive discussion, placing the proposals about the topics at
hand and motivating students to reflect, explore and verify them.

Tutorial hours are to be used for practice sessions.

While analysing and discussing the topic, the faculty mentor’s role is in pointing
to essential elements to help in sorting them out from the surface elements. In
other words, help the students explore the important or critical elements.

In the discussions, particularly during practice sessions (tutorials), the mentor


encourages the student to connect with one’s own self and do self- observation,
self-reflection and self-exploration.

Scenarios may be used to initiate discussion. The student is encouraged to take


up “ordinary” situations rather than” extra-ordinary” situations.

Such observations and their analyses are shared and discussed with other
students and faculty mentor, in a group sitting.

Tutorials (experiments or practical) are important for the course. The difference
is that the laboratory is everyday life, and practical are how you behave and
work in real life. Depending on the nature of topics, worksheets, home
assignment and/or activity are included. The practice sessions (tutorials) would
also provide support to a student in performing actions commensurate to
his/her beliefs. It is intended that this would lead to development of
commitment, namely behaving and working based on basic human values.

It is recommended that this content be placed before the student as it is, in the
form of a basic foundation course, without including anything else or excluding
any part of this content. Additional content may be offered in separate, higher
courses.

This course is to be taught by faculty from every teaching department,


including HSS faculty.

72
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Mechatronics

Teacher preparation with a minimum exposure to at least one 8- day FDP


on Universal Human Values is deemed essential.

Assessment:
This is a compulsory credit course. The assessment is to provide a fair state of
development of the student, so participation in classroom discussions, self-
assessment, peer assessment etc. will be used in evaluation.

Example:
Assessment by faculty mentor: 10 marks
Self-assessment: 10 marks
Assessment by peers: 10 marks
Socially relevant project/Group Activities/Assignments: 20 marks Semester
End Examination: 50 marks
The overall pass percentage is 40%. In case the student fails, he/she must repeat
the course.

Outcome of the Course: By the end of the course, students are expected to
become more aware of themselves, and their surroundings (family, society,
nature); they would become more responsible in life, and in handling problems
with sustainable solutions, while keeping human relationships and human
nature in mind.

They would have better critical ability. They would also become sensitive to
their commitment towards what they have understood (human values, human
relationship and human society). It is hoped that they would be able to apply
what they have learnt to their own self in different day-to- day settings in real
life, at least a beginning would be made in this direction.

This is only an introductory foundational input. It would be desirable to follow it


up by
a) faculty-student or mentor-mentee programs throughout their time with the
institution
b) Higher level courses on human values in every aspect of living. E.g. as a
professional

Appendix – III: A Guide to Induction Program

1. Introduction
(Induction Program was discussed and approved for all colleges by AICTE in March 2017. It
was discussed and accepted by the Council of IITs for all IITs in August 2016. It was
originally proposed by a Committee of IIT Directors and accepted at the meeting of all IIT
Directors in March 2016.1 This guide has been prepared based on the Report of the
Committee of IIT Directors and the experience gained through its pilot implementation in
July 2016 as accepted by the Council of IITs. Purpose of this document is to help institutions
in understanding the spirit of the accepted Induction Program and implementing it.)

Engineering colleges were established to train graduates well in the branch/department


of admission, have a holistic outlook, and have a desire to work for national needs and
beyond.

The graduating student must have knowledge and skills in the area of his study. However,
he must also have broad understanding of society and relationships. Character needs to
be nurtured as an essential quality by which he would understand and fulfill his
responsibility as an engineer, a citizen and a human being. Besides the above, several
meta-skills and underlying values are needed.

There is a mad rush for engineering today, without the student determining for himself
his interests and his goals. This is a major factor in the current state of demotivation
towards studies that exists among UG students.

The success of gaining admission into a desired institution but failure in getting the
desired branch, with peer pressure generating its own problems, leads to a peer
environment that is demotivating and corrosive. Start of hostel life without close parental
supervision at the same time, further worsens it with also a poor daily routine.

To come out of this situation, a multi-pronged approach is needed. One will have to work
closely with the newly joined students in making them feel comfortable, allow them to
explore their academic interests and activities, reduce competition and make them work
for excellence, promote bonding within them, build relations between teachers and
students, give a broader view of life, and build character.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1A Committee of IIT Directors was setup in the 152nd Meeting of IIT Directors on 6th September 2015 at IIT
Patna, on how to motivate undergraduate students at IITs towards studies, and to develop verbal ability. The
Committee submitted its report on 19th January 2016. It was considered at the 153rd Meeting of all IIT
Directors at IIT Mandi on 26 March 2016, and the accepted report came out on 31 March 2016. The Induction
Program was an important recommendation, and its pilot was implemented by three IITs, namely, IIT(BHU),
IIT Mandi and IIT Patna in July 2016. At the 50th meeting of the Council of IITs on 23 August 2016,
recommendation on the Induction Program and the report of its pilot implementation were discussed and the
program was accepted for all IITs.

167
CTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Mechatronics

2. Induction Program
When new students enter an institution, they come with diverse thoughts, backgrounds
and preparations. It is important to help them adjust to the new environment and
inculcate in them the ethos of the institution with a sense of larger purpose. Precious little
is done by most of the institutions, except for an orientation program lasting a couple of
days.

We propose a 3-week long induction program for the UG students entering the
institution, right at the start. Normal classes start only after the induction program is
over. Its purpose is to make the students feel comfortable in their new environment, open
them up, set a healthy daily routine, create bonding in the batch as well as between faculty
and students, develop awareness, sensitivity and understanding of the self, people
around them, society at large, and nature.2

The time during the Induction Program is also used to rectify some critical lacunas, for
example, English background, for those students who have deficiency in it.

The following are the activities under the induction program in which the student would
be fully engaged throughout the day for the entire duration of the program.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
2Induction Program as described here borrows from three programs running earlier at different institutions:
(1) Foundation Program running at IIT Gandhinagar since July 2011, (2) Human Values course running at IIIT
Hyderabad since July 2005, and (3) Counselling Service or mentorship running at several IITs for many
decades. Contribution of each one is described next.

IIT Gandhinagar was the first IIT to recognize and implement a special 5-week Foundation Program for the
incoming 1st year UG students. It took a bold step that the normal classes would start only after the five week
period. It involved activities such as games, art, etc., and also science and other creative workshops and
lectures by resource persons from outside.

IIIT Hyderabad was the first one to implement a compulsory course on Human Values. Under it, classes were
held by faculty through discussions in small groups of students, rather than in lecture mode. Moreover, faculty
from all departments got involved in conducting the group discussions under the course. The content is non-
sectarian, and the mode is dialogical rather than sermonising or lecturing. Faculty were trained beforehand,
to conduct these discussions and to guide students on issues of life.

Counselling at some of the IITs involves setting up mentor-mentee network under which 1st year students
would be divided into small groups, each assigned a senior student as a student guide, and a faculty member
as a mentor. Thus, a new student gets connected to a faculty member as well as a senior student, to whom
he/she could go to in case of any difficulty whether psychological, financial, academic, or otherwise.
The Induction Program defined here amalgamates all the three into an integrated whole, which leads to its
high effectiveness in terms of building physical activity, creativity, bonding, and character. It develops
sensitivity towards self and one’s relationships, builds awareness about others and society beyond the
individual, and also in bonding with their own batch-mates and a senior student besides a faculty member.

Scaling up the above amalgamation to an intake batch of 1000 plus students was done at IIT(BHU), Varanasi
starting from July 2016.

168
CTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Mechatronics

2.1. Physical Activity


This would involve a daily routine of physical activity with games and sports. It would
start with all students coming to the field at 6 am for light physical exercise or yoga. There
would also be games in the evening or at other suitable times according to the local
climate. These would help develop team work. Each student should pick one game and
learn it for three weeks. There could also be gardening or other suitably designed activity
where labour yields fruits from nature.

2.2. Creative Arts


Every student would choose one skill related to the arts whether visual arts or
performing arts. Examples are painting, sculpture, pottery, music, dance etc. The student
would pursue it every day for the duration of the program.
These would allow for creative expression. It would develop a sense of aesthetics and also
enhance creativity which would, hopefully, flow into engineering design later.

2.3. Universal Human Values


It gets the student to explore oneself and allows one to experience the joy of learning,
stand up to peer pressure, take decisions with courage, be aware of relationships with
colleagues and supporting staff in the hostel and department, be sensitive to others, etc.
Need for character building has been underlined earlier. A Module in Universal Human
Values provides the base.

Methodology of teaching this content is extremely important. It must not be through do’s
and don’ts, but get students to explore and think by engaging them in a dialogue. It is best
taught through group discussions and real life activities rather than lecturing. The role of
group discussions, however, with clarity of thought of the teachers cannot be over
emphasized. It is essential for giving exposure, guiding thoughts, and realizing values.
The teachers must come from all the departments rather than only one department like
HSS or from outside of the Institute. Experiments in this direction at IIT(BHU) are
noteworthy and one can learn from them.3

Discussions would be conducted in small groups of about 20 students with a faculty


mentor each. It is to open thinking towards the self. Universal Human Values discussions
could even continue for rest of the semester as a normal course, and not stop with the
induction program.

Besides drawing the attention of the student to larger issues of life, it would build
relationships between teachers and students which last for their entire 4-year stay and
possibly beyond.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
3The Universal Human Values Course is a result of a long series of experiments at educational institutes
starting from IIT-Delhi and IIT Kanpur in the 1980s and 1990s as an elective course, NIT Raipur in late 1990s
as a compulsory one-week off campus program. The courses at IIT(BHU) which started from July 2014, are
taken and developed from two compulsory courses at IIIT Hyderabad first introduced in July 2005.

169
CTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Mechatronics

2.4. Literary
Literary activity would encompass reading, writing and possibly, debating, enacting a
play etc.

2.5. Proficiency Modules


This period can be used to overcome some critical lacunas that students might have, for
example, English, computer familiarity etc. These should run like crash courses, so that
when normal courses start after the induction program, the student has overcome the
lacunas substantially. We hope that problems arising due to lack of English skills, wherein
students start lagging behind or failing in several subjects, for no fault of theirs, would,
hopefully, become a thing of the past.

2.6. Lectures by Eminent People


This period can be utilized for lectures by eminent people, say, once a week. It would give
the students exposure to people who are socially active or in public life.

2.7. Visits to Local Area


A couple of visits to the landmarks of the city, or a hospital or orphanage could be
organized. This would familiarize them with the area as well as expose them to the under
privileged.

2.8. Familiarization to Dept./Branch & Innovations


The students should be told about different method of study compared to coaching that
is needed at IITs. They should be told about what getting into a branch or department
means what role it plays in society, through its technology. They should also be shown
the laboratories, workshops & other facilities.

3. Schedule
The activities during the Induction Program would have an Initial Phase, a Regular Phase
and a Closing Phase. The Initial and Closing Phases would be two days each.

Last Day Whole Day
days, in case needed.

3.4. Follow Up after Closure

A question comes up as to what would be the follow up program after the formal 3-week
Induction Program is over? The groups which are formed should function as mentor-
mentee network. A student should feel free to approach his faculty mentor or the student
guide, when facing any kind of problem, whether academic or financial or psychological
etc. (For every 10 undergraduate first year students, there would be a senior student as
a student guide, and for every 20 students, there would be a faculty mentor.) Such a group
should remain for the entire 4-5-year duration of the stay of the student. Therefore, it
would be good to have groups with the students as well as teachers from the same
department/discipline4.

Here we list some important suggestions which have come up and which have been
experimented with:

3.4.1. Follow Up after Closure – Same Semester


It is suggested that the groups meet with their faculty mentors once a month, within the
semester after the 3-week Induction Program is over. This should be a scheduled meeting
shown in the timetable. (The groups are of course free to meet together on their own
more often, for the student groups to be invited to their faculty mentor’s home for dinner
or tea, nature walk, etc.)

3.4.2. Follow Up – Subsequent Semesters


It is extremely important that continuity be maintained in subsequent semesters.
It is suggested that at the start of the subsequent semesters (up to fourth semester), three
days be set aside for three full days of activities related to follow up to Induction Program.
The students be shown inspiring films, do collective art work, and group discussions be
conducted. Subsequently, the groups should meet at least once a month.

172
CTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Mechatronics

4. Summary
Engineering institutions were set up to generate well trained manpower in engineering
with a feeling of responsibility towards oneself, one’s family, and society. The incoming
undergraduate students are driven by their parents and society to join engineering
without understanding their own interests and talents. As a result, most students fail to
link up with the goals of their own institution.

The graduating student must have values as a human being, and knowledge and meta-
skills related to his/her profession as an engineer and as a citizen. Most students who get
demotivated to study engineering or their branch, also lose interest in learning.

The Induction Program is designed to make the newly joined students feel comfortable,
sensitize them towards exploring their academic interests and activities, reducing
competition and making them work for excellence, promote bonding within them, build
relations between teachers and students, give a broader view of life, and building of
character.

The Universal Human Values component, which acts as an anchor, develops awareness
and sensitivity, feeling of equality, compassion and oneness, draw attention to society and
nature, and character to follow through. It also makes them reflect on their relationship
with their families and extended family in the college (with hostel staff and others). It also
connects students with each other and with teachers so that they can share any difficulty
they might be facing and seek help.
