APPENDIX NO VI ILLUSTRATIVE CURRICULUM OUTLINES
The following curriculum outlines are given for Purposes of illustrating how. within the, general guidelines of Chapter V, curricula may be framed for diversified full-time, sandwich and part- time diploma courses. They are not intended as standard ones or as models to be uniformly followed. Diversification, or specialisation in a limited range of sub-fields of a major branch, is provided through 4 elective subjects to be chosen, from among any of a number of groups. The 4 electives represent 3 60 theory hours in a total of about 1800 hours of theory in a full time course. The remaining 1440 theory hours (or 80 per cent) which are common to all the diversifications are allotted to subjects which form the broad base common to the entire branch.
Neither the titles of the diversifications nor the elective subjects are intended to be taken as standard ones or the only possible ones. Other and different electives and different groupings are possible and will indeed be necessary in accordance with the changing needs and situations of different polytechnics. The only guide line is that in framing a group of electives narrow specialisation should be avoided.
As for the subjects forming the broad base namely the General Studies, Science, and Applied Science Subjects, and Technical Studies (other than electives)while some rearrangements are possible with reference to the number and titles of individual subjects and the times allotted to each subject and its location in the three year period, their overall content is less likely to be inflenced by local needs or conditions. The syllabi of individual subjects and their levels and orientation may of course be, framed differently in different polytechnics.
Likewise a major part of the General Studies and Science and Applied Science Subjects will be found to be common to all the branches. The specific contents of these subjects may be framed to suit the needs of each branch and specialisation.
About 40 per cent of the total curricular time, in a full-time, course is allotted to practice, a substantial part of which being devoted to the field of diversification. This allocation could vary within certain limits depending on the nature of the branch and diversification.
Project work has been given due emphasis,in all the outlines.
The durations of the courses are, assumed as follows, which represent the basic minima:
Full-time course: 3 Years: 3000 contact hours (at 1000 hours per year).
Sandwich course: 3 1/2 Yrs.: 3500 hours (at 1000 hours per year) of which 1000 form In-Plant-Training
Part-time course: 4 Years: 1800 hours (at 450 hours per year).
In the sandwich courses, while,the theory subjects and time allotted to them remain nearly the same as in the full-time course, there is a considerable reduction in the time allotted to practice within the institution. Institutional practical work in this case win cover only such of the specialised laboratory and design drawing work as well as the basic workshop training which cannot be generally arranged under Industrial Training. Variations in the practical con- tent are therefore to be expected depending on. the kind of industrial training facilities available. The arrangement of the sandwich periods and their number and duration will, depend entirely on local conditions in respect of industrial training and therefore the outlines do not specify any, particular sequence or duration of individual sandwich layers. Project work in the case of sandwich courses should be done partly in the institution and partly in the industry.
As in Sandwich courses, in part-time degree courses also. the theory subjects remain more or less the same as in the full-time courses; however since the student is expected to be mature and is in any case exposed to much of the technology in his day to day work, the number of hours he needs to get instruction in any subject is much less than for a full-time student Similarly much of the descriptive, portions of the technical subjects could be cut out. These consi- derations have been taken into account in fixing the time allotment for each subject. The practical work in the part-time course is restricted to such of the areas which normally do not form part of the work of the student in his work situation.
