credits)

List of Courses offered under BE 101-0X

BE101-01 Introduction to Civil Engineering

BE101-02 Introduction to Mechanical Engineering

BE101-03 Introduction to Electrical Engineering

BE101-04 Introduction to Electronics Engineering

BE101-05 Introduction to Computer Sciences and Engineering

BE101-06 Introduction to Chemical Engineering

For example, Civil Engineering students shall study Introduction to Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering students shall

study Introduction to Chemical Engineering and Information Technology students shall study Introduction to Computer

Sciences and Engineering etc

2. Institutions can recommend one of four Basic Engineering courses offered during this semester.

3. The five workshop programmes will be connected with the Basics of Engineering courses offered. The students

should attend two of five workshops in S1 and two in S2

For example, students opting Introduction to Civil Engineering or Basic Civil Engineering should attend the Civil Engineering

Workshop, students opting Introduction to Mechanical Engineering or Basic Mechanical Engineering should attend the

Mechanical Engineering Workshop, students opting Introduction to Chemical Engineering should attend the Chemical

Engineering Workshop and students opting Introduction to Computer Science and Engineering should attend the Computer

Science Workshop etc. The students shall be introduced to the various components, the dismantling and assembly of various

equipments and some preliminary hands on training with different tools.

4. Engineering Physics and Engineering Chemistry shall be offered in both semesters. Institutions can advise

students belonging to about 50% of the number of branches in the institution to opt for Engineering Physics in S1

and Engineering Chemistry in S2 and vice versa. The students opting for Engineering Physics in S1 should attend

Engineering Physics Lab in S1 and students opting for Engineering Chemistry in S1 should opt for Engineering

Chemistry Lab in S1.

5. Course I is a Pass/Fail course, the Institutions should conduct diagnostic tests to identify the training

requirements of each student and advise them to attend the suitable programme. The students who excel in all

diagnostic tests can be assigned Micro projects under the guidance of faculty members.
