PREFACE
India, in last two decades, has made significant progress in all major spheres of activity. Since
1947, the Technical Education System has grown into fairly large sized system, offering
opportunities for education and training in vide variety of trades / d isciplines at different levels.
Needless to say that well trained technical manpower is the backbone of any growing economy in
the era of fast industrialization. It has been the endeavor of the Technical Education Department
to take decisive steps to enhance the capacities of technical institutions with major emphasis on
quality and excellence in technical education .Our country is the only country in the world which
has 50% population below the age of 25 years whereas America has 30% and China 40%.Working
Age Population (WAP) is increasing in India whereas it is decreasing in other parts in the world.
Challenge before us is to train this WAP for the world of work .Updated curriculum is one of the
most powerful tools to improve the quality of training.
Curriculum Document is a comprehensive plan or a blue print for developing various curriculum
materials and implementing given educational programme to achieve desired and formally pre stated educational objectives. Moreover it (the document) is the out put of exhaustive process of
curriculum planning and design, undertaken by the implementers under the expert guidance of
curriculum designer.
While working out the detailed contents and study and evaluation scheme, the following important

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY
Teachers are expected to give simple problems for designing various RCC structural members. For
creating comprehension of the subject, teachers may prepare tutorial sheets, which may be given to the
students for solving. It would be advantageous if students are taken at construction site to show form
work for RCC as well as placement of reinforcement in various structural members, practice of reading
structural drawings is another important feature of this course. Commentary on BIS:456 may be referred
along with code for relevant clauses.

In present scenario, there is an urgent need to develop right kind of attitude, knowledge and skills
amongst the Diploma engineers leading them to achieve gainful wage/ self -employment. There is a huge
gap in perceptions of employers and employees regarding meeting the job requirements. Also the dual
challenges of competing in global working environment and keeping pace with the rapid technological
advancements call for re-design of curricula and thus enabling the importance of employability or
generic skills. Entrepreneurship development aim at developing conceptual understanding for setting up
owns business/enterprise to cope up with the problem of unemployment and also to promote the socioeconomic development of our country.
Both the subject areas, generic skills and entrepreneurship development are supplementary to each
other. Knowledge and skills of these must be imparted to diploma engineering students for enhancing
their employability and confidence in their personal and professional life.

As far as possible students should be given live project problems with a view to :
i) Develop understanding regarding the size and scale of operations and nature of
field .work in which students are going to play their role after completing the
courses of study.
ii) Develop understanding of subject based knowledge given in the classroom
in the context of its application at work places.
iii) Provide first hand experience to develop confidence amongst the students to
enable them to use and apply classroom based knowledge and skills to solve
practical problems of the world of work.
iv) Develop special skills and abilities like interpersonal skills, communication skills,
attitudes and values.
For the fulfillment of above objectives, polytechnics may establish close linkage with
8-10 relevant organization for providing such an experience. It is necessary that each
organization is visited well in advance by respective teachers and activities to be
performed by students are well defined. The chosen activities should be such which are
of curricular interest to students and of professional
value to industrial/field organizations. Each teacher is expected to supervise and
guide 5 - 6 students. Effort should be made to identify actual field problems to be given
as project work to the students. Project selected should not be too complex which is
beyond the comprehension level of the students. The placement of the students for
such a practical cum project work should match with the competency profile and interest
of students. Students may be assessed both by industry and polytechnic faculty. The
suggested performance criteria is given below:
a) Performance Evaluation
60%
b) Report Writing
20%
c) VIVA
20%
