LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED: Students should have knowledge of basic concepts of physics and

mathematics. 1.1 PREREQUISITE Physics and Mathematics understanding up to 10+2 standard 1.2 CORE REQUISITE Physics at 10+2 standard 2.0 OBJECTIVES OF COURSE:

The objectives of this course are: (a) The prime objective of this course is to develop an understanding of the concepts, fundamental laws & principles, which make students familiar with different types of processes in the field of Physics. (b) This course provides the students with a strong comprehension of the fundamental concepts of Engineering Physics and shows how these concepts are applicable for the industry. (c) To develop the ability to apply the knowledge and understanding of Physics to unfamiliar situations (d) To develop the scientific attitude/skills in the practical aspects of handling apparatus, recording observations and drawing diagrams, graphs etc. 3.0 SYLLABUS

Internal Assessment Record Sheet (including Mid Term Examination marks) will be displayed on LMS at the end of semester i.e. last week of regular classroom teaching.
5.1.1 CLASS TESTS/QUIZZES: Two Class Tests based on descriptive type

theoretical & numerical questions and Two Quizzes based on objective type questions will be held; one class test and one quiz at least ten days before the Mid Term Examination and second class test and second quiz at least ten days before the End Term Examination. Those who do not appear in Viva-Voce and quiz examinations shall lose their marks.

The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS a week before the start of Mid Term and End Term Examinations respectively.
5.1.2 ASSIGNMENTS: After completion of each unit or in the mid of the unit, there will be home assignments based on theory and numerical problems. Those who fail to submit the assignments by the due date shall lose their marks.

The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS after each submission and subsequent evaluation.
5.1.3 GENERAL DISCIPLINE: Based on students regularity, punctuality, sincerity and behaviour in the class.

The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS at the end of semester.
5.2 MID TERM EXAMINATION: WEIGHTAGE 20%

Mid Term examination shall be Two Hours duration and shall be a combination of Short and Long theory Questions.

Date of showing Mid Term Examination Answer Sheets: Nov. 02/03, 2013
5.3 END TERM EXAMINATION: WEIGHTAGE 50%

End Term Examination shall be Three Hours duration and shall be a combination of Short and Long theory/numerical Questions. 6.0 GRADING: The overall marks obtained at the end of the semester comprising all the above three mentioned shall be converted to a grade. 7.0. ATTENDANCE: Students are required to have a minimum attendance of 75% in the subject. Students with less than the stipulated percentage shall not be allowed to appear in the End Term Examination
