Basic Science Course for Engineering Students
Basic Science Course for Engineering Students
Semester First
I. RATIONALE
Diploma engineers have to deal with various materials and machines.
This course is designed with fundamental information to help the diploma engineering
students to apply the basic concepts and principles of physics and chemistry to solve broad-
based engineering problems.
The basic concepts and principles of sciences related to heat, electricity, magnetism, optics,
semiconductors, engineering materials will help in understanding the technology courses
where emphasis is on the applications of these in various technology domain applications
CO3 - Use thermometry and fiber optics principles to solve engineering problems.
CO4- Determine molecular structure, properties, and behavior based on chemical bonding.

Note :
1. FA-TH represents summation of two class tests of 20 marks each conducted during the
semester.
2. If candidate is not securing minimum passing marks in FA-PR of any course then the
candidate shall be declared as "Detained" in that semester.
3. If candidate is not securing minimum passing marks in SLA of any course then the
candidate shall be declared as fail and will have to repeat and resubmit SLA work.
4. Notional Learning hours for the semester are (CL+LL+TL+SL)hrs.* 15Weeks
Candidate remaining absent in practical examination of any one part of Basic Science course
i.e. Physics, Chemistry will be declare as Absent in Mark List and has to appear for
examination. The marks of the part for which candidate was present will not be processed or
carried forward.
