 FOREWORD

India is basically having an Agriculture dependent economy with small, medium and large farming
groups. The shortage of labour in peak farming operations has become a serious problem for most
farmers. Many a time, farmers have tried shifting to mechanized mode of cultivation, but often the
implements available are suited for large farming land only. Majority of farmers in India are with
small holdings and so cannot use the existing technologies which are more amenable to large scale
farming. Hence, there is a requirement for developing small implements suited for small and medium
farmers, so that even marginal farmers are able to think of mechanization at an affordable cost. The
efficient use of water is also an important area as scarcity of water is leading to uneconomical
progression of farming. Moreover, systematic processing of crop is getting importance with
introduction of many ‘ready to eat’ products. These issues warrant the services of equipped engineers
from Agricultural Engineering.
Department of Applied Engineering is having the undergraduate programme in Agricultural Engi-
neering, which is a derived branch of engineering from core branches like Mechanical and Civil
engineering, with the objective of applying the engineering principles to Agricultural production
and processes. The course is floated with the objective of reaching out to the farming community of
the country, as an endeavour towards increasing Agricultural productivity and thereby boosting the
economy. It will spread knowledge of latest developments in Agricultural Engineering and promote
the use of the latest know-how for farmers and related agencies.
The new regulation of this course comprises of elective streams from three domains of agricultural
engineering. They are Farm Power and Machinery, Food Process Engineering and Soil and Water
Conservation Engineering. Most of the courses are integrated with laboratory so that students get
practical exposure. They have given the chance to acquire the necessary skills aimed from each
course by providing suitable activities. Hence it is expected that, with successful completion of the
programme, the students would be ready with desired knowledge coupled with required skills.

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES :

To expose the students to industrial environment, which cannot be simulated in the university.

To familiarize the students with various materials, machines, processes, products and their
applications along with relevant aspects of shop management.

To make the students understand the psychology of the workers, and approach to problems
along with the practices followed at factory.

To make the students understand the scope, functions and job responsibilities in various
departments of an organization.

Exposure to various aspects of entrepreneurship during the programme period.

Student has to undergo in-plant training for a short period of time in relevant to gain the
knowledge and experience of work culture. In-plant training by reputed organisation either
MNC’s or organised sectors provide and industrial exposure to students as well as to
develop their career in high-tech industrial requirements.

Student is attached to industry for 10 Weeks in VII semester with a credit load of 0+10 credits

Technology and globalization are ushering an era of unprecedented change. The need and
pressure for change and innovation is immense. To enrich the practical knowledge of the
students, In-plant Training shall be mandatory in the last semester for a period of up to 10
weeks. In this training, students will have to study a problem in industrial perspective and
submit the reports to the university. Such In-plant Trainings will provide an industrial exposure
to the students as well as to develop their career in the high-tech industrial requirements. In-
plant Training is meant to correlate theory and actual practices in the industries. It is expected
that sense of running an industry may be articulated in right way through this type of industrial
attachment mode.

Course Description and Objectives :

EL provides the students an excellent opportunity to develop analytical and entrepreneurial
skills, and knowledge through meaningful hands on experience, confidence in their ability to
design and execute project work.
To promote professional skills and knowledge through meaningful hands on experience.
To build confidence and to work in project mode.
To acquire enterprise management capabilities

Experiential learning helps the student to develop competence, capability, capacity building,
acquiring skills, expertise and confidence to start their own enterprise and turn job creators
instead of job seeker. This step forward for earning while learning concept. Experiential learn-
ing is major step forward for high quality professional competence, practical work experience
in real life situation to graduate, production-oriented courses, production to consumption
project working, facilitates producing job providers rather than job seeker and entrepreneurial
orientation.
Student has to undergo on compas experiential learning for 10 Weeks in VII semester with the
credit load of 0+10.

A) CONCEPT
The word ‘experiential’ essentially means that learning and development are achieved
through personally determined experience and involvement, rather than on received teaching
or training, typically in group, by observation, study of theory or hypothesis, and bring in
innovation or some other transfer of skills or knowledge. Experiential learning is a busi-
ness curriculum-related endeavour which is interactive.
EL is for building (or reinforcing) skills in project development and execution, decision
making, individual and team coordination, approach to problem solving, accounting, mar-
keting and resolving conflicts, etc. The programme has end to end approach. Carefully
calibrated activities move participants to explore and discover their own potential. Both
activities and facilitation play a critical role in enhancing team performance.

B) DURATION
The experient the programme is enterprise oriented, students and faculty are expected to
attend the activities of the enterprise even on institutional holidays with total commitment,
and without any time limit or restriction of working hours for ELP. The Experiential Learning
Programme shall be run for full year by making two groups and rotating activities of the final
year in two groups.

VFSTR 125
 IV Year I Semester

C) ATTENDANCE
The minimum attendance required for this programme is 85%. The attendance of a stu-
dent will be maintained at the EL unit. The attendance particulars shall be communicated
to the Chief Executive Officer (Associate Dean) by the Manager of the EL unit every week.
The students will be eligible for the final evaluation of EL only when the attendance
requirement is met with. Any student in the event of recording shortage of attendance has
to re-register the EL when offered next by paying the assigned fee.

D) STUDENTS’ ELIGIBILITY
To get the eligibility for registering for the EL programme, the students should have com-
pleted all the courses successfully. The assignment/allotment of the EL programme shall
be based on merit of the student at the end of 5th semester. A separate certificate should
be issued to the students after successful completion of EL course. Allotment of EL
programmes amongst students to different modules should be done strictly on the basis
of merit at the end of fifth semester.
