Teaching-Learning Process
Pedagogy (General Instructions):
These are sample Strategies, which teachers can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course
outcomes.
1. In addition to the traditional lecture method, different types of innovative teaching methods
may be adopted so that the delivered lessons shall develop students’ theoretical and applied
mathematical skills.
2. State the need for Mathematics with Engineering Studies and Provide real-life examples.
3. Support and guide the students for self–study.
4. You will also be responsible for assigning homework, grading assignments and quizzes, and
documenting students' progress.
5. Encourage the students to group learning to improve their creative and analytical skills.
6. Show short related video lectures in the following ways:
● As an introduction to new topics (pre-lecture activity).
● As a revision of topics (post-lecture activity).
● As additional examples (post-lecture activity).
● As an additional material of challenging topics (pre-and post-lecture activity).

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is
50%. The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50).
The minimum passing mark for the SEE is 35% of the maximum marks (18 marks out of 50). A
student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to
each subject/ course if the student secures not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end
examination(SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the total of the CIE (Continuous
Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together.
Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE):
The CIE marks for the theory component of the IC shall be 30 marks and for the laboratory
component 20 Marks.
CIE for the theory component of the IC
 Three Tests each of 20 Marks; after the completion of the syllabus of 35-40%, 65-70%, and 90-
100% respectively.

CIE for the practical component of the IC

 On completion of every experiment/program in the laboratory, the students shall be evaluated
and marks shall be awarded on the same day. The 15 marks are for conducting the
experiment and preparation of the laboratory record, the other 05 marks shall be for the test
conducted at the end of the semester.
 The CIE marks awarded in the case of the Practical component shall be based on the
continuous evaluation of the laboratory report. Each experiment report can be evaluated for
10 marks. Marks of all experiments’ write-ups are added and scaled down to 15 marks.
 The laboratory test (duration 03 hours) at the end of the 15th week of the semester/after
completion of all the experiments (whichever is early) shall be conducted for 50 marks and
scaled down to 05 marks.
Scaled-down marks of write-up evaluations and tests added will be CIE marks for the laboratory
component of IC/IPCC for 20 marks.
 The minimum marks to be secured in CIE to appear for SEE shall be 12 (40% of maximum
marks) in the theory component and 08 (40% of maximum marks) in the practical component.
The laboratory component of the IC/IPCC shall be for CIE only. However, in SEE, the
questions from the laboratory component shall be included. The maximum of 05 questions is
to be set from the practical component of IC/IPCC, the total marks of all questions should not
be more than 25 marks.
The theory component of the IC shall be for both CIE and SEE.

Semester End Examination(SEE):

Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question
papers for the subject (duration 03 hours)
 The question paper shall be set for 100 marks. The medium of the question paper shall be
English/Kannada). The duration of SEE is 03 hours.
 The question paper will have 10 questions. Two questions per module. Each question is set
for 20 marks. The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from
each module. The student has to answer for 100 marks and marks scored out of 100 shall be
proportionally reduced to 50 marks.
 There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with
a maximum of 3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
