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
CO1 - Use basic instruments to measure the physical quantities in various engineering situations.
CO2 - Apply the basic principles of electromagnetics to solve given engineering problems.
CO3 - Apply basic principles of thermometry and fibre optics to solve engineering problems.
CO4 - Predict the structure, properties and behaviour of molecules and compounds based on the types of
chemical bond.
CO5 - Apply the concepts of electrochemistry and corrosion preventive measures in industry.
CO6 - Use the appropriate engineering material and catalyst appropriately.
1. FA-TH represents average of two class tests of 30 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.
