List of Courses offered under BE 101-0X
BE101-01 Introduction to Civil Engineering
BE101-02 Introduction to Mechanical Engineering
BE101-03 Introduction to Electrical Engineering
BE101-04 Introduction to Electronics Engineering
BE101-05 Introduction to Computer Sciences and Engineering
BE101-06 Introduction to Chemical Engineering
For example, Civil Engineering students shall study Introduction to Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering students shall
study Introduction to Chemical Engineering and Information Technology students shall study Introduction to Computer
Sciences and Engineering etc

2. Institutions can recommend one of four Basic Engineering courses offered during this semester.
3. The five workshop programmes will be connected with the Basics of Engineering courses offered. The students
should attend two of five workshops in S1 and two in S2
For example, students opting Introduction to Civil Engineering or Basic Civil Engineering should attend the Civil Engineering
Workshop, students opting Introduction to Mechanical Engineering or Basic Mechanical Engineering should attend the
Mechanical Engineering Workshop, students opting Introduction to Chemical Engineering should attend the Chemical
Engineering Workshop and students opting Introduction to Computer Science and Engineering should attend the Computer
Science Workshop etc. The students shall be introduced to the various components, the dismantling and assembly of various
equipments and some preliminary hands on training with different tools.

4. Engineering Physics and Engineering Chemistry shall be offered in both semesters. Institutions can advise
students belonging to about 50% of the number of branches in the institution to opt for Engineering Physics in S1
and Engineering Chemistry in S2 and vice versa. The students opting for Engineering Physics in S1 should attend
Engineering Physics Lab in S1 and students opting for Engineering Chemistry in S1 should opt for Engineering
Chemistry Lab in S1.
5. Course I is a Pass/Fail course, the Institutions should conduct diagnostic tests to identify the training
requirements of each student and advise them to attend the suitable programme. The students who excel in all
diagnostic tests can be assigned Micro projects under the guidance of faculty members.
