SCHEME FOR MASTER OF ENGINEERING (INDUSTRY
ORIENTED AND PRACTICE BASED) PROGRAMME REGULAR
AND MODULAR IN INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL
1. AIM
To offer Master of Engineering (industry oriented and practice based) Regular &
Modular Programmes in Instrumentation and Control, for technical teachers and
professionals working in industries.
2. RATIONALE
The rapid pace at which changes and advancements are taking place in technology pose a
great challenge to training and supplying the right kind and quality of technical
manpower. The training of technical personnel is largely influenced by the nature of
curriculum, quality of instructional processes, management of instructional system and
the role played by industry in their training.
In order to increase the relevance of technical personnel to the world of work, it has all
along been felt that the nature of programmes offered by the technical institutes should be
oriented towards technology applications and practices. These programmes should focus
on learning of industrial practices, practical and generic skills of problem solving,
learning to learn skill and entrepreneurship skill.
As per the latest recommendations of the AICTE regarding pay scales and qualifications
for technical teachers, the minimum qualification for lecturers is prescribed as degree in
Engineering or Technology or equivalent and they have to acquire Master’s degree or
such higher qualifications for promotions to higher grades. Majority of these teachers are
fresh graduates and lack the knowledge of industrial practices and related practical skills,
which in turn affects, the quality of technician engineers produced by the Polytechnics/
Engineering Colleges. They, therefore, need a strong orientation in technological and
field practices in the areas of fabrication, erection, construction, installation, operation,
production, testing, maintenance and quality control.
The practice-based M.E. degree programme in Instrumentation and Control will provide
the above education and training to the Polytechnic/ Engineering College teachers
specially to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills related to industry and
field practices. They will be in a position to transfer such knowledge and training to the
students of Polytechnics, so that their effective contribution in the world of work is
increased.
In order to meet the above long felt need for higher education of polytechnic/
Engineering College teachers, it is necessary to offer practice based Masters degree
programmes specially designed to incorporate credit based system of evaluation. The
system will have all the inbuilt flexibility to allow for self pacing, taking up study of
4
courses in the sequence and at the time convenient to in-service graduate personnel and
obtaining specialization in the areas specific to their profession and carrier development.
In view of the above, NITTTR (earlier known as TTTI) Chandigarh have started offering
a practice based M.E programme (Regular) in Instrumentation and Control for
technical teachers having a B.E. degree or an A.M.I.E qualification in Electrical/
Electronics/ Instrumentation & Control Engineering or equivalent, since August, 1998.
The course aims to provide an in-depth knowledge of field practices and ability to
innovate and conduct research in technology areas. This will not only change the
orientation of technician programmes but will also reduce the widening gap between
technician courses and field practices and will greatly improve the performance of
industries. Limited numbers of seats are also available to professionals working in
industries and field organizations.
An acute problem faced by technical institutions both for degree and diploma level is that
they are not able to spare their teachers for two long years for higher studies away from
their institutes. In order to face the above situation, the institute is also offering another
M.E. programme (Modular) in Instrumentation & Control for technical teachers and
professionals working in Industries. This programme has been structured modular in
nature where the teachers could be relieved from their institute to this institute for
attending classes during summer and winter vacations. They will however also have to
undertake follow up study when they return to their institutions so as to prepare
themselves for University examinations before the beginning of subsequent modules.
The contact type ME programme which is of two years duration has been made modular
without any dilution with respect to rigour of teaching learning practices as also
University examinations. However, the duration of the programme has been increased to
3 years. Classes will begin from first week of June and second week of December having
a contact period of 5 weeks each where the students will study two subjects
simultaneously.
2.1 Objectives
The specific objective of this course is Continuing Education and Training and
Retraining of :
• in service technical teachers.
• industry personnel
• any other sponsored candidate desirous of pursuing a career in teaching.
2.2 Target Population
The envisaged target group includes:
• teachers with a B.E degree or an equivalent qualification such as A.M.I.E. etc, in
Electrical/Electronics/Instrumentation and Control Engineering.
• working professionals from Industries and other organizations having a B.E.
degree in Electrical/Electronics/Instrumentation and Control Engineering or an
equivalent qualification such as A.M.I.E. etc. in Electrical/ Electronics/
Instrumentation and Control Engineering.

SCHEME FOR MASTER OF ENGINEERING (INDUSTRY
ORIENTED AND PRACTICE BASED) PROGRAMME REGULAR
AND MODULAR IN INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL
1. AIM
To offer Master of Engineering (industry oriented and practice based) Regular &
Modular Programmes in Instrumentation and Control, for technical teachers and
professionals working in industries.
2. RATIONALE
The rapid pace at which changes and advancements are taking place in technology pose a
great challenge to training and supplying the right kind and quality of technical
manpower. The training of technical personnel is largely influenced by the nature of
curriculum, quality of instructional processes, management of instructional system and
the role played by industry in their training.
In order to increase the relevance of technical personnel to the world of work, it has all
along been felt that the nature of programmes offered by the technical institutes should be
oriented towards technology applications and practices. These programmes should focus
on learning of industrial practices, practical and generic skills of problem solving,
learning to learn skill and entrepreneurship skill.
As per the latest recommendations of the AICTE regarding pay scales and qualifications
for technical teachers, the minimum qualification for lecturers is prescribed as degree in
Engineering or Technology or equivalent and they have to acquire Master’s degree or
such higher qualifications for promotions to higher grades. Majority of these teachers are
fresh graduates and lack the knowledge of industrial practices and related practical skills,
which in turn affects, the quality of technician engineers produced by the Polytechnics/
Engineering Colleges. They, therefore, need a strong orientation in technological and
field practices in the areas of fabrication, erection, construction, installation, operation,
production, testing, maintenance and quality control.
The practice-based M.E. degree programme in Instrumentation and Control will provide
the above education and training to the Polytechnic/ Engineering College teachers
specially to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills related to industry and
field practices. They will be in a position to transfer such knowledge and training to the
students of Polytechnics, so that their effective contribution in the world of work is
increased.
In order to meet the above long felt need for higher education of polytechnic/
Engineering College teachers, it is necessary to offer practice based Masters degree
programmes specially designed to incorporate credit based system of evaluation. The
system will have all the inbuilt flexibility to allow for self pacing, taking up study of
4
courses in the sequence and at the time convenient to in-service graduate personnel and
obtaining specialization in the areas specific to their profession and carrier development.
In view of the above, NITTTR (earlier known as TTTI) Chandigarh have started offering
a practice based M.E programme (Regular) in Instrumentation and Control for
technical teachers having a B.E. degree or an A.M.I.E qualification in Electrical/
Electronics/ Instrumentation & Control Engineering or equivalent, since August, 1998.
The course aims to provide an in-depth knowledge of field practices and ability to
innovate and conduct research in technology areas. This will not only change the
orientation of technician programmes but will also reduce the widening gap between
technician courses and field practices and will greatly improve the performance of
industries. Limited numbers of seats are also available to professionals working in
industries and field organizations.
An acute problem faced by technical institutions both for degree and diploma level is that
they are not able to spare their teachers for two long years for higher studies away from
their institutes. In order to face the above situation, the institute is also offering another
M.E. programme (Modular) in Instrumentation & Control for technical teachers and
professionals working in Industries. This programme has been structured modular in
nature where the teachers could be relieved from their institute to this institute for
attending classes during summer and winter vacations. They will however also have to
undertake follow up study when they return to their institutions so as to prepare
themselves for University examinations before the beginning of subsequent modules.
The contact type ME programme which is of two years duration has been made modular
without any dilution with respect to rigour of teaching learning practices as also
University examinations. However, the duration of the programme has been increased to
3 years. Classes will begin from first week of June and second week of December having
a contact period of 5 weeks each where the students will study two subjects
simultaneously.
2.1 Objectives
The specific objective of this course is Continuing Education and Training and
Retraining of :
• in service technical teachers.
• industry personnel
• any other sponsored candidate desirous of pursuing a career in teaching.
2.2 Target Population
The envisaged target group includes:
• teachers with a B.E degree or an equivalent qualification such as A.M.I.E. etc, in
Electrical/Electronics/Instrumentation and Control Engineering.
• working professionals from Industries and other organizations having a B.E.
degree in Electrical/Electronics/Instrumentation and Control Engineering or an
equivalent qualification such as A.M.I.E. etc. in Electrical/ Electronics/
Instrumentation and Control Engineering.

3. SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAMMES
i) Both the programmes are flexible, and allow self- pacing and taking up course of
study in the sequence and at times convenient to the students:
ii) The courses focus on the mastery of minimum essential competencies and
development of capabilities such as learning to learn, problem solving, human
relations and management skills in addition to learning of Instrumentation Control
Engineering subjects.
iii) These make use of a combination of instructional techniques such as group
discussions, home assignments, individual and group projects, independent study,
seminars etc.
iv) Assessment of student’s performance will be based on both continuous evaluation
using variety of assessment techniques matching the learning objectives of the
different courses of study and end of term University evaluation.
v) Completion of the course work is followed by Thesis work
4. STUDY SCHEME & SCHEME OF EVALUATION
