Outcome Based Education

Nowadays MME branch is considered an interdisciplinary field of engineering. It uses techniques from mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering branches. TCET has taken the initiative to design an outcome-based curriculum. By considering OBE, students are trained to develop the relative courses of the MME. Knowledge, education, research, and innovation are the key areas of the development of any branch of engineering. In the department students are motivated and prompted for innovation & research which is reflected in the form of participation in various competitions like state level project competition (DIPEX - 2023), Formula Bharat Racing car competitions etc. by participating indirectly they get various design and research knowledge. It needs to go hand-in-hand with research for the generation of new knowledge and innovation. Hence, it is necessary to create entrepreneurial mindsets and the spirit of innovation among the students. The entrepreneurship technical talks by the alumni and experts to change students & mindset to develop entrepreneurial activities among them. 5% to 10% of students are interested in developing their own entrepreneurship activities. Entrepreneurship courses and startup incubators are becoming an integral part of technical education.Therefore, students would be trained in critical thinking and risk-taking abilities.

The innovative examinations, project competitions, racing competitions are organized to develop critical thinking and risk taking abilities. Through the internship programs like electric vehicle (EV), heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) under government scheme solar installation had been performed in the summer vacation to develop industry knowledge among them. Students would be able to learn practical issues and real-world experience in the industry. The department is focusing more on internship programs in the curriculum. The department is integrating these emerging technologies into the curriculum to ensure graduates are conversant with the new advanced technologies. The subjects of industry 4.0 (emerging technology) are being introduced in the department curriculum like Robotics, Automation, Additive manufacturing, cyber security, IoT, Design Thinking and Problem Solving Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality etc. The department is trying to align educational programs with industry trends, and students are trained to be ready for industrial problems. About 10 - 15% of final year students are performing their projects in industries to develop industrial trends and technological developments.

The changing paradigm of technical education emphasizes the need for lifelong learning and continuous professional development. For the development of lifelong learning the department is performing soft skills development and for the professional development python program, CNC programming, solid works, Anysis programming have been conducted in the semester curriculum. Value-added courses are introduced in the curriculum to encourage teamwork, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Value Education, Environmental studies, Universal Human values, Indian Constitution and communication skills have been introduced in the curriculum for the students development to enhance social responsibilities. Important training is provided to students to encourage employability skills, soft skills, behavioral skills, and aptitude training. The training and placement department is organizing employability skills development (ESD) training and a skill development programme through AICTE schemes in the department. Aptitude training needed to industry placements and other organizations is being organized by the T&P cell. A degree in mechatronics can lead to management positions, including project management, in different laboratories and processing plants. Mechatronics specialists can work in the fields of cybersecurity, telecommunications, computer science, automotive engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, and consumer products and packaging. All the above subjects are taught in the department and introduced in the curriculum for students & betterment.
