 Preamble

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 Third Year of Engineering from the Academic year
2021-22. Subsequently this will be carried forward for Final Year Engineering in the academic years
2022-23.

 Incorporation and Implementation of Online Contents from
NPTEL/ Swayam Platform

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 re source 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.

 Preface

The engineering education in India is expanding and is set to increase manifold. The major challenge
in the current scenario is to ensure quality to the stakeholders along with expansion. To meet this
challenge, 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 and reflects the fact that
in achieving recognition, the institution or program of study is committed and open to external review
to meet certain minimum specified standards. The major emphasis of this accreditation process is to
measure the outcomes of the program that is being accredited. Program Outcomes (POs) are essentially
a range of skills and knowledge that a student will have at the time of graduation from the program. In
line with this, Faculty of Technology of University of Mumbai has taken a lead in incorporating the
philosophy of outcome-based education (OBE) in the process of curriculum development from Rev-
2012 onwards and continued to enhance the curriculum further based on OBE in Rev -2016 and Rev-
2019 “C” scheme.
As Chairman and Members of Board of Studies in Civil Engineering, University of Mumbai, we are
happy to state here that, the Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) for Undergraduate Program were
finalized in a brain storming session, which was attended by more than 40 members from different
affiliated Institutes of the University, who are either Heads of Departments or their senior
representatives from the Department of Civil Engineering. The PEOs finalized for the undergraduate
program in Civil Engineering are listed below;
1. To prepare the Learner with a sound foundation in mathematical, scientific and engineering
fundamentals
2. To motivate the Learner in the art of self-learning and to use modern tools for solving real life
problems
3. To prepare the Learner for a successful career in Indian and Multinational Organisations and
for excelling in post-graduate studies
4. To motivate learners for life-long learning
5. To inculcate a professional and ethical attitude, good leadership qualities and commitment to
social responsibilities in the Learner’s thought process
In addition to the above listed PEOs, every institute is encouraged to add a few (2 -3) more PEOs suiting
their institute vision and mission
Apart from the PEOs, for each course of the program, objectives and expected outcomes from a
learner’s point of view are also included in the curriculum to support the philosophy of OBE. We
strongly believe that even a small step taken in the right direction will definitely help in providing
quality education to the major stakeholders.

Rationale

Working Stress Method (WSM) makes use of the concept of modular ratio based on the higher
factor of safety in evaluating the stresses in two different materials of the RCC i.e., steel and
concrete. The Limit State Method (LSM) is based on the statistical probability which provides
the rational solution to the design problems. The philosophy which lies behind, LSM uses
multiple safety factors format which attempts to provide adequate safety at the ultimate load
as well as adequate serviceability at service load by considering all possible limit states. The
subject involves the application of working stress method and limit state method in the analysis
and design of various elements of the civil engineering structures.
Objectives
1 To develop clear understanding of design philosophy amongst the students for the design
of reinforced concrete structure using working stress method (WSM) and limit state
method (LSM).
2 To study various clauses of IS: 456-2000 and their significance in the RCC design.
3 To apply various concepts of LSM in the analysis and design of beams, slabs and columns.
4 To study the concept of Serviceability and Durability for deflection and crack width
calculation in RCC structures.
5 To develop the concept of design using design charts and curves for columns subjected to
axial load and moment.
6 To study the concept of reinforced concrete footing design subjected to axial load and
moment.

Rationale

Around all civil engineering structures are supported by soil and rock. Rock is rarely occurring
and hence, mostly the supporting medium is soil. The stability of structure depends on the
stability of supporting medium. Therefore, geotechnical analysis is required to be carried out.

are useful for determining the strength, compressibility, drainage characteristics etc. Soil
mechanics is the basic tool for geotechnical engineering, which is the specialized section of
civil engineering. Soil is also used as a construction material to build various civil structures,
viz., dams, embankment etc. Thus, it is very essential to understand various concepts involved
in this course of Geotechnical Engineering-I.

Rationale

Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their needs is considered to be the simplest and effective sustainable development. The
greatest threats to the sustainable development on earth are: population growth and
urbanization, energy use and global warming, excessive waste generation and the subsequent
pollution and limited supply of resources. Concrete is the primary construction material in the
world. Construction industry consumes 40 percent of the total energy and about one half of
world’s major resources. Hence, it is imperative to regulate the use of materials and energy in
this industry. The largest environmental impact of the concrete industry comes from the cement
manufacturing process that leads to relatively high greenhouse gas emissions. Minimizing the
quantity of cement in a concrete mix has many potential benefits. Thus, the use of industrial
byproducts such as fly ash, silica fume as cementitious materials in concrete structures can lead
to significant reduction CO2 emissions and consumption of energy and raw materials. Green
and intelligent buildings also have been evolved for sustainability of the construction industry.
This course provides knowledge of different sustainable building materials and technologies in
construction industry.
Objectives
1 To have more awareness among students about sustainability.
2 To understand environmental issues due to building materials and the energy
consumption in manufacturing building materials.
3 To study the alternative masonry unit and mortar for sustainable practices.
4 To know the importance of cement reduction and replacements for a sustainable
development.
5 To understand the alternative building technologies which are followed in
construction.
6 To have cognizance of alternative roofing systems in practice.

Rationale
From primitive habitats of early years to modern buildings, the civil engineering industry's
growth has been needing based and society centric. Civil engineers deal with many challenges
on daily basis that most people do not have any idea. Mumbai University proposed Mini projects
in the syllabus so that the budding civil engineers can connect with the world outside their books
and have the idea of future course. The Mini project should actually provide solution to a typical
problem after a brainstorming and in a stipulated period. The competitions ahead will give
students the experience of the civil engineering industry's real-world problems and make students
brainstorm ideas, learn, and explore the civil engineering industry.
Course Objectives:
1 To recognize societal problems and convert them into a problem statement by
understanding of facts and ideas in a group activity.
2 To deal with new problems and situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts,
techniques and rules in a different way.
3 To examine and break information into parts, by analyzing motives or causes.
4 To learn evaluating information, validity of ideas and work based on a set of
criteria.
5 To create solutions by compiling information together in a different way.
6 To design model by combining elements in a new pattern or proposing new
solutions.
 Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course, learner will be able to:
Identify problems based on societal /research needs and formulate a solution
1
strategy.
2 Apply fundamentals to develop solutions to solve societal problems in a group
Analyze the specific need, formulate the problem and deduce the interdisciplinary
3
approaches, software-based solutions and computer applications.
Develop systematic flow chart, evaluate inter disciplinary practices, devices,
4
available software, estimate and recommend possible solutions.
Draw the proper inferences from available results through theoretical/ experimental/
5
simulations and assemble physical systems.

Rationale

The Civil Engineering structures are built on or through rocks. The design of structures depends
on the rock mass properties and the interaction between the rock and the structure. This
demands the study of deformation resulting from the strain of rocks in response to various
stresses working on them. The mechanisms and character of the deformation of rocks can be
investigated through laboratory experiments. The course will give an idea of in- situ testing of
the rock and observation of geological conditions that can affect the way a rock behaves when
subjected to loads and stresses.

Rationale

Indian cities are currently expanding at a rapid rate, and are therefore facing immense pressure
for the improvement of their services and infrastructure. Without coordination and planning
for the anticipated spatial growth and densification, the infrastructure services are neglected.
Such growth areas can become under-serviced places of the cities, one from which many
problems of the city stem: water, sanitation and waste problems, uncontrolled pests, and crime
due to poor access to water and sanitation services. To address the emerging issues of urban
centre, there is a pressing need to train urban infrastructure specialists who can
comprehensively plan for city’s growing infrastructure needs and formulate projects for
efficient infrastructure service delivery for existing areas. There are ample urban
infrastructure challenges and opportunities in terms of planning; effective policy, program and
project formulation for well-trained young urban infrastructure professionals with specific
domain knowledge
Objectives
1 Describe an infrastructure system using accurate terminology;
2 Demonstrate an understanding of the main concepts and principles of infrastructure
planning;
3 Identify the key features of a sustainable infrastructure system and explain how they
promote sustainable development;
4 Apply analytical tools for infrastructure planning;
5 Critically evaluate infrastructure cases/projects/proposals through the lens of
sustainability;
6 Identify the gaps between theoretical principles of sustainable infrastructure and their
application in practices

Rationale
Civil engineers deal with many challenges on daily basis. The civil engineering industry's growth
has been need based and society centric. Computers and IT systems have touched almost every
part of our lives and inter-disciplinary approach is way of life ahead. Mumbai University
proposed Mini projects in the syllabus so that the budding civil engineers can connect with the
world outside their textbooks and have the idea of future course. The Mini project should actually
provide solution to a typical problem after a brainstorming and in a stipulated period. The
solutions based on software, development of computer application, or IT systems based on
artificial intelligence or IOT are expected from civil engineering students. The competitions
ahead will give students the experience of the civil engineering industry's real-world problems
and make students brainstorm ideas, learn, and explore the civil engineering industry.

Course Objectives:
1 To recognize societal problems and convert them into a problem statement by
understanding of facts and ideas in a group activity.(BTL-2)
2 To deal with new problems and situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts,
techniques and rules in a different way.(BTL-3)
3 To examine and break information into parts, by analyzing motives or causes.(BTL-4)
4 To learn evaluating information, validity of ideas and work based on a set of criteria.
(BTL-5)
5 To create solutions by compiling information together in a novel way.(BTL-6)
6 To design software based model, application or IT system by combining elements in a new
pattern or proposing new solutions. (BTL-6)

Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course, learner will be able to:
1 Identify problems based on societal /research needs and formulate a solution strategy.
2 Apply fundamentals to develop solutions to solve societal problems in a group.
3 Analyze the specific need, formulate the problem and deduce the interdisciplinary
approaches, software-based solutions and computer applications.
4 Develop systematic flow chart, evaluate inter disciplinary practices, devices, available
software, estimate and recommend possible solutions.
5 Draw the proper inferences from available results through
theoretical/experimental/simulations and assemble physical systems.
6 Create devises or design a computer program or develop computer application.

• Guidelines for Mini Project -2B

Expected outcome is Software based, “A Computerized Model/ A software/ A
computer program, an IOT application or A Computer or Mobile based
application ”.
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.
Students should find ‘List of Mini project- 2B problems’ in University web portal
www.mu.ac.in, and in consultation with faculty supervisor/head of department/internal
committee of faculties select the title.
Students shall submit implementation plan in the form of Gant/PERT/CPM chart, which
will cover weekly activity of mini project.
A log book to be prepared by each group, wherein group can record weekly work progress,
guide/supervisor can verify and record notes/comments.
Faculty supervisor may give inputs to students during mini project activity; however, focus
shall be on self-learning.
Students in a group shall understand problem effectively, propose multiple solution and
select best possible solution in consultation with guide/ supervisor.
Students shall convert the best solution into A Computerized Model/ a software/ A
computer program, an IOT application or A Computer or Mobile based application using
various components of their domain areas and demonstrate.
The solution to be validated with proper justification and report to be compiled in standard
format of University of Mumbai.
With the focus on the self-learning, innovation, addressing societal problems and
entrepreneurship quality development within the students through the Mini Projects, it
is preferable that Students come out with original solution.
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 case-by-case
basis.
