1.1 Curriculum Design and Development

1.1.1 Curricula developed and implemented have relevance to the local, national, regional and global developmental needs which is reflected in Programme outcomes (POs), Programme Specific outcomes (PSOs) and Course Outcomes (COs) of the Programmes offered by the Institution - View

Response :

The Institute has a systematic procedure for development, revision and implementation of the curriculum of all the departments. The primary objective of the institute is to create Techno-Managerial power for the global needs. The curriculum is designed carefully by addressing the recent technologies and the opportunities existing at the regional and global level with all necessary fundamentals.

Factors in Curriculum Design:
The Curriculum is designed to ensure that the students have the required domain knowledge, skills and attitude. The factors considered for the design of the curriculum area:




1. Institute's Vision
2. The Institute's Mission, PEOs, POs and PSOs thus COs are arriving.
3. Syllabus of various reputed Indian and International Universities
4. Model curriculum prescribed by AICTE,
4. Suggestions by industry experts and alumni
5. Syllabi of various competitive exams like GATE, etc.



Process for Curriculum Design: The initial version of the curriculum is prepared by having the above design criteria, through discussions with stakeholders. The proposed curriculum after various internal deliberations is put forth to BOS (Board of Studies) consisting of experts from industry, academia, alumni in addition to senior faculty members. The curriculum is then placed for approval during the Academic Council (AC). The curriculum is finally evolved and published on www.srivasaviengg.ac.in. The academic autonomy of the Institution provides the opportunity to frequently revise the curriculum based on needs and suggestions from various stakeholders. In last five years the syllabus of UG Programs was revised in 2018 (V18 Regulation) and in 2020 (V20 Regulation)

1.1.2 The programmes offered by the institution focus on employability/entrepreneurship/skill development and their course syllabi are adequately revised to incorporate contemporary requirements - View

Response :

Sri Vasavi Engineering College (SVEC) organizes programs emphasizing employability, entrepreneurship, and skill development, and that they regularly update their course syllabi to align with contemporary requirements.

Employability:Focusing on employability means that the college is preparing students with the practical skills and knowledge required in the engineering job market. This can include technical skills, project management, and problem-solving abilities. Graduates are more likely to find job opportunities and excel in their careers if they are well-prepared for the demands of the engineering field. SVEC has included Professional Communication Skills as mandatory course and soft skills as credit course in the curriculum.

Entrepreneurship: SVEC Encourages entrepreneurship within an engineering program as it is valuable as it fosters innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset among students. In this regard SVEC has an Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) and Institute Innovation Council (IIC). EDC organizes various Entrepreneurship awareness camps to teach students how to identify and create opportunities, manage risks, and potentially start their own ventures. This can be especially important in a world where engineering innovations often lead to new technologies and businesses. IIC is established to promote innovation in the institution through multiple modes, leading to an innovative promotion ecosystem on campus. Major Focus of the IIC is to create a vibrant local innovation ecosystem, Startup/entrepreneurship, supporting Mechanism in Institute, Establish Function Ecosystem for Scouting Ideas and Pre-incubation of Ideas and Develop better Cognitive Ability amongst Technology Students. As a part of Entrepreneurship development various technical hackathons were conducted in the campus.

Skill Development: Engineering is a field that constantly evolves with technological advancements and changing industry demands. SVEC regularly revising course syllabi to incorporate contemporary requirements, the college ensures that its students are equipped with the most up-to-date skills and knowledge. This is crucial to staying competitive in the engineering industry. SVEC incorporate four compulsory Skill oriented courses (SOC) in the curriculum, regularly conducting guest lecture from the industry experts, organizing industrial visits, mandatory summer internships and Full semester internships to ensure that all students are equipped with up-to-date skills.

In summary, SVEC focuses on employability, entrepreneurship, and skill development while keeping the curriculum current will produce graduates who are not only well-prepared for traditional engineering roles, but are also equipped to adapt to changes, innovate, and potentially become successful entrepreneurs in the field. This approach is in line with the demands of the modern engineering profession and the broader job market.
