MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Introduction:

Mechanical Engineering is one of the prominent and popular disciplines within engineering. Many people in the developed countries, developing countries and under developed countries have given emphasis for the broader application of mechanical engineering. This field has been helping the world for the mechanical development and it has been creating wage and selfemployment opportunities both in public and private sectors. This curriculum is designed with the purpose of producing the middle level technical workforce equipped with knowledge and skills related to the field of mechanical engineering so as to meet the demand of such workforce in the country to contribute in the national economic development of Nepal. The knowledge and skills incorporated in this curriculum will be helpful to deliver the individual needs as well national needs in the field of electronics engineering.

This course is based on the job required to perform by a mechanical technician at different related industries and organizations in Nepal. The diploma in mechanicals engineering program extends over three years. Each year is divided into two semesters. There are six semesters within the period of three years. This curriculum includes the core subjects like physics, chemistry, and mathematics applicable in the field of engineering. It also includes Nepali and English subjects for the communication. The course structure and the subject wise contents that reflect the details of the curriculum. In short, the aim of this curriculum is to produce competent and highly employable middle level technical workforce in the field of mechanical engineering. The contents of individual subjects prescribed in the curriculum are incorporated in the light of "must to know and must to do" principle.

Entry criteria:

•  Minimum Grade C in compulsory in Mathematics and science, Minimum Grade D+ in English in SEE with 1.6 GPA or 

• TSLC from CTEVT school Securing 68.33% marks or TSLC from TU campus Securing 66.67% marks or GPA 1.6 in SEE Technical Stream.

• Student most have SEE, SLC or equivalent certificate for under SLC TSLC graduates.

•  SLC or SEE equivalent with English, Science, and Mathematics or related TSLC.

•  Should pass the entrance examination.

•   Physically fit for the program.

Selection:

Applicants fulfilling the entry criteria are selected for admission on the basis of merit.

Pattern of attendance:

Minimum 90% of attendance in each subject is required to appear in the respective final examination.

Examination and marking scheme:

• The subject teacher will internally assess the students’ achievement in each subject during the course followed by a final                     examination at the end of each semester.

•  A weightage of 20% for the internal assessment and 80% for the semester final examination will be allocated for                                    theoretical components of a subject.

 • The final semester examinations of all theory components will be conducted through written tests.

•   Generally the method of continuous assessment will be adopted for practical components.

• In some cases semester final examinations are also conducted for practical components as per the needs.

• The student who fails in the internal assessment will not be allowed to sit in the semester final examination and will also not     allowed continuing the following semester study.

 Provision of back paper:

There is a provision of back paper; however, students must pass all the subjects of all six semesters within six years from the date of enrolment.

Disciplinary and ethical requirements:

• Dishonesty in academic or practice activities will result in immediate suspension followed by administrative review, with            possible expulsion.

• Illicit drug use, bearing arms at institute, threats or assaults to peers, faculty or staff will result in immediate suspension,           followed by administrative review with possible expulsion.

 Pass marks:

The students must secure minimum 40% marks both in theory and practical (Lab). Moreover, the students must secure minimum40% marks in the internal assessment and 40% in the final semester examination of each subject to pass all subjects offered in each semester.

 Grading system:

The overall achievement of each student will be measured by a final aggregate percentage of all final semester examinations and graded as follow;

• Distinction : > or =80 %

• First division : 65 % to < 80 %

• Second division : 50 % to 65 %

• Pass : 40 % to < 50 %

 Certification and degree awards:

• Students who have passed all the components of all subjects of all six semesters are considered to have successfully              completed the course

. • Students who have successfully completed the course will be awarded with a degree of Diploma in Mechanical                         Engineering.

Career path:

The graduates will be eligible for the position equivalent to non-gazette 1st class (technical) as mechanical technician or as prescribed by the public service commission of Nepal. The graduate will be eligible for registration with the related council in the grade as mentioned in the related council act (if any).
