To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, the issue of quality needs to
be addressed, debated and taken forward in a systematic manner. Accreditation is the principal
means of quality assurance in higher education. The major emphasis of accreditation process is to
measure the outcomes of the program that is being accredited. In line with this Faculty of Science
and Technology (in particular Engineering) of University of Mumbai has taken a lead in
incorporating philosophy of outcome based education in the process of curriculum development.
Faculty resolved that course objectives and course outcomes are to be clearly defined for each
course, so that all faculty members in affiliated institutes understand the depth and approach of
course to be taught, which will enhance learner‘s learning process. Choice based Credit and grading
system enables a much-required shift in focus from teacher-centric to learner-centric education since
the workload estimated is based on the investment of time in learning and not in teaching. It also
focuses on continuous evaluation which will enhance the quality of education. Credit assignment for
courses is based on 15 weeks teaching learning process, however content of courses is to be taught in
13 weeks and remaining 2 weeks to be utilized for revision, guest lectures, coverage of content
beyond syllabus etc.
There was a concern that the earlier revised curriculum more focused on providing information and
knowledge across various domains of the said program, which led to heavily loading of students in
terms of direct contact hours. In this regard, faculty of science and technology resolved that to
minimize the burden of contact hours, total credits of entire program will be of 170, wherein focus is
not only on providing knowledge but also on building skills, attitude and self learning. Therefore in
the present curriculum skill based laboratories and mini projects are made mandatory across all
disciplines of engineering in second and third year of programs, which will definitely facilitate self
learning of students. The overall credits and approach of curriculum proposed in the present revision
is in line with AICTE model curriculum.
The present curriculum will be implemented for Second Year of Engineering from the academic year
2021-22. Subsequently this will be carried forward for Third Year and Final Year Engineering in the
academic years 2022-23, 2023-24, respectively.
The curriculum revision is mainly focused on knowledge component, skill based activities
and project based activities. Self learning opportunities are provided to learners. In the revision
process this time in particular Revised syllabus of ‗C‘ scheme wherever possible additional
resource links of platforms such as NPTEL, Swayam are appropriately provided. In an earlier
revision of curriculum in the year 2012 and 2016 in Revised scheme ‗A' and ‗B' respectively,
efforts were made to use online contents more appropriately as additional learning materials to
enhance learning of students.
In the current revision based on the recommendation of AICTE model curriculum overall credits
are reduced to 171, to provide opportunity of self learning to learner. Learners are now getting
sufficient time for self learning either through online courses or additional projects for enhancing
their knowledge and skill sets.
The Principals/ HoD‘s/ Faculties of all the institute are required to motivate and encourage
learners to use additional online resources available on platforms such as NPTEL/ Swayam.
Learners can be advised to take up online courses, on successful completion they are required to
submit certification for the same. This will definitely help learners to facilitate their enhanced
learning based on their interest.
Computer Engineering is one of the most sought-after courses amongst engineering students. The syllabus
needs revision in terms of preparing the student for the professional scenario relevant and suitable to cater
the needs of industry in present day context. The syllabus focuses on providing a sound theoretical
background as well as good practical exposure to students in the relevant areas. It is intended to provide a
modern, industry-oriented education in Computer Engineering. It aims at producing trained professionals
who can successfully acquainted with the demands of the industry worldwide. They obtain skills and
experience in up-to-date the knowledge to analysis, design, implementation, validation, and documentation
of computer software and systems.
The revised syllabus is finalized through a brain storming session attended by Heads of Departments or
senior faculty from the Department of Computer Engineering of the affiliated Institutes of the Mumbai
University. The syllabus falls in line with the objectives of affiliating University, AICTE, UGC, and various
accreditation agencies by keeping an eye on the technological developments, innovations, and industry
requirements.
We would like to place on record our gratefulness to the faculty, students, industry experts and stakeholders
for having helped us in the formulation of this syllabus.
* Theory class to be conducted for full class and $ indicates workload of Learner (Not Faculty), students can
formgroups with minimum 2(Two) and not more than 4(Four). Faculty Load: 1hour per week per four groups.

Guidelines for Mini Project
1 Mini project may be carried out in one or more form of following:
Product preparations, prototype development model, fabrication of set-ups, laboratory
experiment development, process modification/development, simulation, software
development, integration of software (frontend-backend) and hardware, statistical
data analysis, creating awareness in society/environment etc.
2 Students shall form a group of 3 to 4 students, while forming a group shall not be
allowed less than three or more than four students, as it is a group activity.
3 Students should do survey and identify needs, which shall be converted into problem
statement for mini project in consultation with faculty supervisor or
head of department/internal committee of faculties.
4 Students shall submit an implementation plan in the form of Gantt/PERT/CPM chart,
which will cover weekly activity of mini projects.
5 A logbook may be prepared by each group, wherein the group can record weekly work
progress, guide/supervisor can verify and record notes/comments.
6 Faculty supervisors may give inputs to students during mini project activity; however,
focus shall be on self-learning.
7 Students under the guidance of faculty supervisor shall convert the best solution into a
working model using various components of their domain areas and demonstrate.
8 The solution to be validated with proper justification and report to be compiled in
standard format of University of Mumbai. Software requirement specification (SRS)
documents, research papers, competition certificates may be submitted as part of
annexure to the report.
9 With the focus on self-learning, innovation, addressing societal/research/innovation
problems and entrepreneurship quality development within the students through the
Mini Projects, it is preferable that a single project of appropriate level and quality be
carried out in two semesters by all the groups of the students. i.e. Mini Project 2 in
semesters V and VI.
10 However, based on the individual students or group capability, with the mentor‘s
recommendations, if the proposed Mini Project adhering to the qualitative aspects
mentioned above, gets completed in odd semester, then that group can be allowed to
work on the extension of the Mini Project with suitable improvements/modifications or
a completely new project idea in even semester. This policy can be adopted on a case
by case basis.
Term Work
The review/ progress monitoring committee shall be constituted by the heads of departments of
each institute. The progress of the mini project to be evaluated on a continuous basis, based on
the SRS document submitted. minimum two reviews in each semester.
In continuous assessment focus shall also be on each individual student, assessment based on
individual‘s contribution in group activity, their understanding and response to questions.
Distribution of Term work marks for both semesters shall be as below: Marks 25
1 Marks awarded by guide/supervisor based on logbook 10
2 Marks awarded by review committee 10
3 Quality of Project report 05
Review / progress monitoring committee may consider following points for assessment
based on either one year or half year project asmentioned in general guidelines
One-year project:
1 In one-year project (sem V and VI), first semester the entire theoretical solution shall be
made ready, including components/system selection and cost analysis. Two reviews will
be conducted based on a presentation given by a student group.
First shall be for finalization of problem
Second shall be on finalization of proposed solution of problem.
2 In the second semester expected work shall be procurement of component‘s/systems,
building of working prototype, testing and validation of results based on work completed
in an earlier semester.
First review is based on readiness of building working prototype to be conducted.
Second review shall be based on poster presentation cum demonstration of
working model in the last month of the said semester.
Half-year project:
1 In this case in one semester students‘ group shall complete project in all aspects including,
Identification of need/problem
Proposed final solution
Procurement of components/systems
Building prototype and testing
2 Two reviews will be conducted for continuous assessment,
First shall be for finalization of problem and proposed solution
Second shall be for implementation and testing of solution.
7 Effective use of skill set : Standard engineering practices and Project management
standard
In one year project (sem V and VI), first semester evaluation may be based on first 10 criteria and
remaining may be used for second semester evaluation of performance of students in mini
projects.
In case of half year projects (completing in V sem) all criteria in generic may be considered for
evaluation of performance of students in mini projects.
1 Report should be prepared as per the guidelines issued by the University of Mumbai.
2 Mini Project shall be assessed through a presentation and demonstration of working model
by the student project group to a panel of Internal and External Examiners preferably from
industry or research organizations having experience of more than five years approved by
the head of Institution.
