The evolution of the knowledge economy and the need for exploiting advancements in engineering sciences for commercial benefits have shifted the focus from undergraduate to postgraduate level education in engineering and technology. The number of students aspiring for post-graduation in engineering has seen a rise in recent past. There are about four thousand colleges in India which are offering PG programs in engineering and technology. The success of any educational program largely depends on the design and effective implementation of the curriculum. This work makes an effort to present the case study on curriculum development of a postgraduate Automobile engineering program at RIT. The requirements of a PG engineering program have been highlighted. The recently introduced framework of AICTE model curriculum for PG programs is introduced. The findings of analysis based on curriculum benchmarking are shared. The other two important dimensions of the curriculum development viz. outcomes-based education (OBE) and student placement perspective are presented. Finally, the salient features of the curriculum and structure are presented.

Abstract


The evolution of the knowledge economy and the need for exploiting advancements in engineering sciences for commercial benefits have shifted the focus from undergraduate to postgraduate level education in engineering and technology. The number of students aspiring for post-graduation in engineering has seen a rise in recent past. There are about four thousand colleges in India which are offering PG programs in engineering and technology. The success of any educational program largely depends on the design and effective implementation of the curriculum. This work makes an effort to present the case study on curriculum development of a postgraduate Automobile engineering program at RIT. The requirements of a PG engineering program have been highlighted. The recently introduced framework of AICTE model curriculum for PG programs is introduced. The findings of analysis based on curriculum benchmarking are shared. The other two important dimensions of the curriculum development viz. outcomes-based education (OBE) and student placement perspective are presented. Finally, the salient features of the curriculum and structure are presented.
