The impacts of globalization and rapid changes in the engineering science and
technology have been a great cause of comprehensive and noticeable change in
engineering fraternity, hence the institutions. Only way to incorporate such a
transformation, is to modify the curriculum, preserving the consistency of engineering
education. Frequent review and feedback from the experts and the freedom of
autonomous status of the institution have encouraged to undertake relevant changes in
the curriculum to make it versatile. Consequently the desired competencies and skills
are transformed amongst the students in pursuing their preparedness to cope up with
the global changes. It aims to promote self reliance and satisfaction of acquiring modern
engineering concepts and multi capabilities within the students to make them model
technicians.

Hence, in a broad sense, a curriculum incorporates the following :
To define the purpose of education
To accept systematic planning methods
To confirm implementation strategies
To identify and to incorporate needs of industries
To follow the policy directives
To cope-up with social concerns
To aim at personality development of students
To allow future developments and challenges in emerging
