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.

Technology is being increasingly based on the electronic, atomic and molecular level
modifications. Quantum theory is more than 100 years old and to understand phenomena
at nanometre levels, one has to base the description of all chemical processes at molecular
levels. The course will enable the students:
● To analyse microscopic chemistry in terms of atomic and molecular orbitals and
intermolecular forces.
● To rationalise bulk properties and processes using thermodynamic considerations.
● To distinguish the ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum used for exciting different
molecular energy levels in various spectroscopic techniques
● To rationalise periodic properties such as ionization potential, electronegativity,
oxidation states and electronegativity.
● To list major chemical reactions that are used in the synthesis of molecules.

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.
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.
72
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Mechatronics
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.

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.)
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.

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.

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
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.

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

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:

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.
