With warm greetings Course Coordinator started the 1 st Course Instructor meeting for the Course
MEC312 INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES. Detailed discussion held with the following
Course instructors during the meeting:

Points Discussed:

Following are the Course outcome for MEC 312 – INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

CO1: Distinguish various components of IC engines and analyzing the key

factors influencing engine performance
CO2: Analyze the performance of compression ignition engine using fuel
injection characteristics.
CO3: Identify the sources and types of pollutants in IC engines.
CO4: Elaborate the methods and measurement of emission controls
CO5: Evaluate the suitability of alternate fuels for IC engines and
measurement techniques
Course outcome and program outcome mapping are verified for CO and PO / PSO assessment
process. The CO – PO / PSO mapping for the course content is given below.

PO PSO
CO/PO
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3

CO1 1 3 2 3 2 3 2

CO2 1 3 3 3 2 2 3 2

CO3 3 1 2 2 3 2

CO4 1 2 2 1 2 1

CO5 1 3 2 2 3 2

 Course coordinator has taken a time to analyze and discuss the results of previous year
MEC312 result in micro analysis in detail.
 Level of attainment for percentage of CO attained for the previous batch 2013-2017
Percentage of Attainment Level
Less than 60% 0

emerging areas
Mission: To provide quality education and research with the state of the art facilities to student. This is accomplished by
 Enhancing the knowledge and expertise through professional programs and research works
 Endowing the students with academic leadership, communication skills and professional awareness
 60% – 70% 1
70% – 80% 2
Greater than 80% 3
.
 The Bench – mark score fixed for CO attainment was 50% arrived from the average mark
of the batch 2017 – 2018. Hence the faculty has decided to fix the bench mark score for
the present batch as 50%. It has been discussed and approved by Department Program
Advisory Committee.
 It was instructed that the Course teacher should be clear with the course outcome. With
reference to the course outcome; instructor should focus on content delivery, guest
lecture, workshops / conferences, theory with practical components.
 Most of the CO’s are highly correlated with PO / PSO. Therefore to maintain the quality,
the course instructors are requested to organize / support the course through
1. To use lab facilities for easy understanding.
2. Laboratory models / Videos
3. Just – a – minute (JAM) talk on advance topic.
4. Highlight topics beyond the syllabus.
5. At-least one Guest Lecture – expert from reputed Industry.
6. Motivate students to participate in Workshops and Conferences.
 Following are the topics finalized for assignments

S.NO Assignment* Topics CO Mapping

1 Assignment 1 Impacts on knocking and detonation in I.C. Engines CO1

2 Assignment 2 Governing of i.C engines CO2

3 Assignment 3 Pollution controlled missions world wide-brief survey CO3

4 Assignment 4 Emission controlling methods. CO4

5 Assignment 5 Advanced fuels CO5

 The discussion was made to prepare flipped classes for all the topics and provide the
question bank with answer key students.

 It has decided to prepare question paper for SE-I with 60% from CO1 and 40% from
CO2.

 Guest lecture for MEC402 has planned to be conducted in the month of January.
