Course Overview:
Gender Sensitization is one of the basic requirements for the normal development of an individual and
primarily highlights the contribution of both the genders in creation and development of a well balanced
society. A curriculum-based approach to bring a change is desired to inculcate sensitivity towards issues
concerning the relationship between men and women, caste, declining sex ratio, struggles with
discrimination, sexual harassment, new forums for justice, eve-teasing, etc., The need for this sensitivity
has been felt and realized through times immemorial and in almost all kinds of human existence, across
the globe.

Towards a World of Equals is a course that introduces you to different dimensions of the current
discussion on gender issues through a variety of materials: academic studies, court cases, laws,
theoretical analyses, newspaper reports, stories, poems, videos and autobiographical texts. The lessons
critically scrutinize many commonly held assumptions about gender relations and demonstrate why
they are unacceptable in a society committed to justice and equality.

HEAT TRANSFER
Course Code: A3328 L T P C
3 1 0 3
Course Overview:
The course presents the three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. One-
dimensional steady and transient conduction is studied for planar, cylindrical, and spherical geometries.
The lumped capacitance analysis is used for transient conduction when appropriate. Convection heat
transfer is studied in both internal and external geometries and under laminar and turbulent flow
regimes. External flows include cooling on flat plates due to laminar and turbulent boundary layer flows,
and cooling of cylinders due to cross flow. The convection heat transfer analysis in internal flows
considers laminar and turbulent pipe flows. Free convection is also considered where heat transfer is
due to flow induced by fluid buoyancy. Radiation heat transfer is studied by considering both the
general characteristics of radiation as well as the properties of radiating surfaces and radiation heat
transfer between surfaces.
Prerequisite(s):NIL

NDT TECHNIQUES
(Professional Elective - III)
Course Code: A3361 L T P C

Course Overview:
Nondestructive testing (NDT) is the process of inspecting, testing, or evaluating materials, components
or assemblies for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics without destroying the serviceability of
the part or system. In other words, when the inspection or test is completed the part can still be used.

Today modern nondestructive tests are used in manufacturing, fabrication and in-service inspections to
ensure product integrity and reliability, to control manufacturing processes, lower production costs and
to maintain a uniform quality level. During construction, NDT is used to ensure the quality of materials
and joining processes during the fabrication and erection phases, and in-service NDT inspections are
used to ensure that the products in use continue to have the integrity necessary to ensure their
usefulness and the safety of the public.

every engineering discipline. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer -based
software tools that assist engineers and machinists in manufacturing or prototyping product
components. Its primary purpose is to create a faster production process and components with more
precise dimensions and material consistency, which in some cases, uses only the required amount of
raw material (thus minimizing waste), while simultaneously reducing energy consumption. CAM is a
programming tool that makes it possible to manufacture physical models using computer-aided design
(CAD) programs. CAM creates real life versions of components designed within a software package.

Frequently asked Questions and Answers about autonomy
1. Who grants Autonomy? UGC, Govt., AICTE or University
In case of Colleges affiliated to a university and where statutes for grant of autonomy are ready,
it is the UGC that finally grants autonomy.
2. Shall VCE award its own Degrees?
No. Degree will be awarded by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad with a
mention of the name Vardhaman College of Engineering on the Degree Certificate.
3. What is the difference between a Deemed to be University and an Autonomy College?
A Deemed to be University is fully autonomous to the extent of awarding its own Degree. A
Deemed to be University is usually a Non-Affiliating version of a University and has similar
responsibilities like any University. An Autonomous College enjoys Academic Autonomy alone.
The University to which an autonomous college is affiliated will have checks on the performance
of the autonomous college.
4. How will the Foreign Universities or other stake–holders know that we are an Autonomous
College?
Autonomous status, once declared, shall be accepted by all the stake holders. Foreign
Universities and Indian Industries will know our status through our college website.
5. What is the change of Status for Students and Teachers if we become Autonomous?
An autonomous college carries a prestigious image. Autonomy is actually earned out of
continued past efforts on academic performance, capability of self-governance and the kind of
quality education we offer.
6. Who will check whether the academic standard is maintained / improved after Autonomy?
How will it be checked?
There is a built in mechanism in the autonomous working for this purpose. An Internal
Committee called Academic Programme Evaluation Committee is a Non–Statutory body, which
will keep an eye on the academics and keep its reports and recommendations every year. In
addition to the Academic Council, the highest academic body also supervises the academic
matters. At the end of three years, there is an external inspection by the University for this
purpose. The standards of our question papers, the regularity of academic calendar, attendance
of students, speed and transparency of result declaration, and such other parameters are
involved in this process.
7. Will the students of VCE as an Autonomous College qualify for University Medals and Prizes
for academic excellence?
No. VCE has instituted its own awards, medals, etc. for the academic performance of the
students. However, for all other events like sports, cultural and co-curricular organized by the
University the students shall qualify.
8. Can VCE have its own Convocation?
No, since the University awards the Degree the Convocation will be that of the University.
9. Can VCE give a provisional Degree certificate?
Since the examinations are conducted by VCE and the results are also declared by VCE, the
college sends a list of successful students with their final grades of marks to the University.
Therefore, with the prior permission of the University the college will be entitled to give the
Provisional Certificate.
10. Will Academic Autonomy make a positive impact on the Placements or Employability?

192
Certainly. The number of students qualifying for placement interviews is expected to improve,
due to rigorous and repetitive classroom teaching and continuous assessment, besides the
autonomous status is more responsive to the needs of the industry. As a result, there will be a
lot of scope for industry oriented skill development built-in into the system. The graduates from
an autonomous college will therefore represent better employability.
11. What is the proportion of Internal and External Assessment as an Autonomous College?
Presently, it is 25 % for internal assessment and 75 % for external assessment. As the autonomy
matures the internal assessment component shall be increased at the cost of external
assessment.
12. Will there be any Revaluation or Re-Examination System?
Students shall be permitted for re-evaluation after the declaration of end semester examination
results within a stipulated period by paying prescribed fee. But there will not be any re-
examination system.
13. How fast Syllabi can be and should be changed?
Autonomy allows us the freedom to change the syllabi as often as we need.
14. Will the Degree be awarded on the basis of only final year performance?
No. The grades will reflect the average performance of all the semesters put together in CGPA
format.
15. Who takes Decisions on Academic matters?
The Academic Council of College is the top academic body and is responsible for all the
academic decisions. Many decisions are also taken at the lower level like the BOS which are like
Boards of Studies of the University.
16. What is the role of Examination committee?
The Exam Committee is responsible for the smooth conduct of internal and external
examinations. All matters involving the conduct of examinations, spot valuations, tabulations,
preparation of Grade Sheet etc fall within the duties of the Examination Committee.
17. Is there any mechanism for Grievance Redressal?
Yes, the college has grievance redressal committee, headed by a senior faculty member of the
college.
18. How many attempts are permitted for obtaining a Degree?
All such matters are defined in Rules & Regulations.
19. Who declares the result?
The result declaration process is also defined. After tabulation work, the entire result is
reviewed by the Moderation Committee. Any unusual deviations or gross level discrepancies are
deliberated and removed. The entire result is discussed in the College Academic Council for its
approval. The result is then declared on the college notice boards and posted on the web site of
the college. It is eventually sent to the University.
20. What is our relationship with the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad?
We remain an affiliated college of the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad.
The University has the right to nominate its members on the academic bodies of the college.
21. Shall we require University approval if we want to start any New Courses?
Yes, It is expected that approvals or such other matters from an autonomous college will receive
priority.
22. Shall we get autonomy for PG and Doctoral Programmes also?
Yes, presently our UG and PG programmes are also enjoying autonomous status.
23. How many exams will be there as an autonomous college?
This is defined in the Rules & Regulations.
