Value Added Programs

The Value Added Programs aim to provide additional learner centric graded skill oriented technical training, with the primary objective of improving the employability skills of Mechanical Engineering students of ACET. The main objectives of the program are:

  • To provide students an understanding of the expectations of industry.
  • To improve employability skills of Mechanical Engineering students of ACET.
  • To bridge the skill gaps and make students industry ready.
  • To provide an opportunity to students to develop inter-disciplinary skills.

The strategy adopted tries to bridge the perceived technical competency gaps of students by providing training in employability enhancing technical subjects through mandatory noncredit courses of 35 hours duration for II, III and IV year students, as part of the curriculum. The Courses focus on skill development and more than 50% of the time is spent on practical training and problem solving, to provide the requisite understanding towards application of academic topics from engineering disciplines into real world engineering projects.

A VAP Committee shall be constituted for each stream, consisting of Dean, HoD and VAP coordinator. This Committee shall meet at least once every month to discuss the various issues related to Planning, Development and Conduct of VAP of the concerned stream.

The scheme of assessment and distribution of marks for each course is decided by the course faculty, and the details shall be provided in the proposal for each course in the course design template. The system of evaluation shall normally be continuous internal assessment by the course faculty and there will be no end semester examination. An exam at the end of the course may be conducted by the course faculty, as proposed in the scheme of assessment for that course.

Rubrics allow students to understand the criteria for assessment before they start the practical class. Rubrics are multidimensional sets of scoring guidelines that can be used to provide consistency in evaluating student work.
