Enhancement of curriculum to address the industrial and societal needs based on the current needs is always the need of the hour. The objective of curriculum development process is focused on

1. Higher Order Cognitive skills

2. Enhancing personal and interpersonal skills

3. Promoting Problem Based learning and Design thinking experience.

4. Promoting Interdisciplinary learning

5. Effective implementation of Outcome Based Education (OBE) in Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) framework with standardization of procedures for assessment of Programme Outcomes (PO), Programme Specific Outcomes (PSO) and Course Outcomes (CO).

The objective is met with systematic procedure for the curriculum development by duly addressing the local, regional, national, and global needs with POs, PSOs and COs. The process of formulating vision, mission, PEO, PO and Courses are illustrated with flowcharts.

1. Need analysis with the feedback obtained from the external and internal stakeholders including employers, industry experts, academicians of Higher Learning institutions, alumni, faculty members and students

2. Identification of Professional societies relevant to the engineering discipline and understanding the requirements stated by them

3. Identification of requirements by comparing the existing syllabus with AICTE model curriculum and Anna University Regulations

4. Department level communication and discussion on the consolidated review of existing syllabus and changes to be made

5. Identification of courses offered in Science & Humanities

6. Identification of common courses across different programmes (CDIO courses, programming courses, audit courses)

7. Department level meeting(s) for identification of Course outcomes and first draft of course schedule

8. Formulation of scheduling of courses including 1st semester

9. Course design, review, and refinements with several department level meetings
