NUMERICAL METHODS
3 1 0 4
(Common for IV Semester ME, CE, MCE, EEE, AE, TXT & EIE)
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the course, the students would be acquainted with the
basic concepts in numerical methods and their uses are summarized as
follows:
o The roots of nonlinear (algebraic or transcendental) equations, solutions of
large system of linear equations and eigen value problem of a matrix can be
obtained numerically where analytical methods fail to give solution.
o When huge amounts of experimental data are involved, the methods discussed
on interpolation will be useful in constructing approximate polynomial to
represent the data and to find the intermediate values.
o The numerical differentiation and integration find application when the
function in the analytical form is too complicated or the huge amounts of data
are given such as series of measurements, observations or some other
empirical information.
o Since many physical laws are couched in terms of rate of change of one/two or
more independent variables, most of the engineering problems are
characterized in the form of either nonlinear ordinary differential equations or
partial differential equations. The methods introduced in the solution of
ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations will be useful
in attempting any engineering problem.

ENG401 COMMUNICATION SKILLS LABORATORY

0031

Globalization has brought in numerous opportunities for the teeming millions,


with more focus on the students overall capability apart from academic
competence. Many students, particularly those non- English medium schools,
find that they are not preferred due to their inadequacy of communication skills
and soft skills, despite possessing sound knowledge in their subject area
along with technical capability. Keeping in view their pre- employment needs
and career requirements, this course on Communication Skills Laboratory will
prepare students to adapt themselves with ease to the Industry environment,
thus rendering them as prospective assets to Industries. The course will equip
the student with the necessary communication skills that would go a long way
in helping them in their profession.
OBJECTIVES:
* To equip students of engineering and technology with effective speaking and
listening skills in English.
* To help them develop their soft skills and people skills, which will make the
transition from college to workplace smoother and help them to excel in their
jobs.
