1. The contents of the courses as listed in above Tables shall be taught in an application- oriented
manner on a scientific and design basis. The course contents shall be taught and learned in
lectures, seminars, labs/ workshops, studio exercises and design projects.

2 Lectures are held to teach basic connections and the systemization of theoretical knowledge and
the methodology of scientific work. Specific subjects are presented in a well structured form,
incorporating new research results. The results shall be evaluated through periodic assessment
of sessional work or an end semester examination or both.
3 In presentations, the contents shall be taught in dialogue and discussion phases between the
teacher and the student. The results shall be evaluated through periodic assessment of sessional
work and/ or end semester examination or both.
4. In Design Studio workshops the contents of the course shall be delivered through hands-on work
and experiments. The results shall be evaluated through periodic assessment of sessional work
or end semester examination or both.
5 In Design studio exercises the teachers shall take the lead to provide tasks and offer guidance for
solutions finding. The students shall work either individually or in groups. The results shall be
defended through drawings; models and reports and evaluated through periodic assessment and
an end semester examination/viva-voce.
6 In design studios/construction studios/projects the students contribute to the processing, analysis
and the solving of problems of direct professional practice, attended by faculty(s) entitled to
conduct the studio and examine. The results shall be defended through drawings, models and
reports and evaluated through periodic assessment and finally by a jury/ panel.
7 The students should be encouraged to engage themselves in the project work in an Industry/
government departments and interact specifically with well qualified professionals. The results
shall be periodically assessed by the expert under whom they are assigned and defend their
portfolio in front of a jury/ panel at the end of the internship period.
8. The student must train himself by hands-on practice for drawing orthogonal projections of
geometrical forms and representations, measured drawing of building elements of designed
models and simple forms, presentation in graphic form of all elements of building blocks of the
prototype, to use various physical and digital tools and production of prototypes using various
materials, production of detailed models of a small project using appropriate materials;
exploration with different materials for prototyping, etc.
9. The teacher should make the student aware of writing detail specifications of various building
blocks of the product as per Standards; writing specifications for materials and various items of
work; Systems of taking out quantities and estimating for all trades involved in construction of
the product; preparation of Bill of Quantities (BOQ); Cost estimating for material and labor,
valuation report preparation, and Budgeting for specific projects.
