3.4ADVISING & REGISTRATION PROCEDUREStudents have to meet the advisors prior to every registration process in thestart of every semester. This meeting will be very important as they have to discussthe courses to be registered in coming semester.Once the courses to be registered will be finalized than Advisor will advise thecourses in the Academic module.You can contact your advisor on any matters related to your educationalprogress. You are responsible for sharing essential information about your academicprogress, strengths and weaknesses etc.All students must report to their advisor before every General Registrationperiod in the start of semester. Ideally, students should see their advisors at leastonce in a week.Registration will be done online by the student on the defined schedule usingthe Online registration system. Online registration system can be accessed by thestudents using the following URL.www.manpower.gov.om/college systemA Username and Password will be required for using this system, which can beobtained/verified from the advisor. Student can ask for a demonstration about theusage of the system before the scheduled date of registration to avoid any delay orproblem.For Registration schedule and other important information regarding theAdvising and Registration, exam results, appeals schedule etc are posted on thecollege website as well as the Notice boards within the department. It’s theresponsibility of the students to frequently visit these resources to get updatedinformation and announcements.Page 21 of 97

3.5COURSE SELECTION AND GRADESThe students are advised to consult their academic advisors for appropriate selectionof the courses. The students are advised to look in to the following points during courseselection for a particular semester.o Pre- requisites: Make sure that you satisfy the prerequisites for the courses youhave selected.o Credit hours : Make sure how many credit hours you may have to take. Themaximum number of credit hours a student is allowed to take depends on theacademic status of the student (like GPA).o Time table : The time schedule will be provided by the academic advisor. A studenthas to select appropriate time slots so that there is no clash of timings (overlapping).For courses like Physics and Chemistry a student has to select time slots for theoryand practical separately. GRADES TABLE: The following table indicates the grades on a four point scale.GRADEPERCENTAGE RANGEGRADE POINTAAB BBC BELOW 5543.73.33.02.72.32.01.71.00.0 PASSING GRADES: To pass a course the student has to get minimum grade C or above inall specialization courses, C- or above in all departmental requirement courses, D or above inall college requirement courses. METHOD: GPA is calculated by multiplying the grade point which the student has obtainedby the number of the courses’ credit hours. The total is divided by the total of credit hours ofall the courses that have grades.Page 22 of 97

They can be put into academicprobation in two consecutive semesters as academic probation 1 and academicprobation 2. The academic probation resets to 0 when a student comes out of it bysatisfying the given conditions. A full time student will be under academic probation, if his/her GPA is less than 2.00 inany semester. Accordingly he will be allowed to register for a maximum of 12 credithours during first and second probation. Academic probation expires at the end of each semester, when the student obtains aminimum CGPA 2.00. A student under academic probation has to repeat all thecourses if he/she has failed. He/She will be dismissed if he/she fails to obtain therequired GPA 2.00 at end of second probation.Page 23 of 97

3.8ATTENDANCEAttendance and participation in all class and laboratory sessions are essentialto the process of learning in the college.IMPORTANCE: Students get benefit from the lectures and discussions with theirinstructor and fellow students. For this reason students are expected to attend classregularly. Lateness or absence hinders progress of the individual and affects thestudent’s grade.WARNINGS:First Warning: The student will be warned if his/her absence reaches 10%of the set hours in each academic semester without any valid excuses, and a letter willbe sent to his to his/her parents/guardian.Second Warning: The same procedure will be followed if the student’sabsence reaches 20%.Third Warning: The student will be informed in writing and his/her guardianwill be informed that the student will be debarred from the final if his/her absencereaches 30%.3.9DISMISSALSA student will be dismissed from the college on the following grounds.1. Failure to maintain the required GPA 2.00 in the courses he/she studied at theend of the semester, following his/her placement under second academicprobation.2. Being absent from the classes for two consecutive weeks, without anacceptable reason.3. On disciplinarian grounds based on the decision issued by the disciplinarycommittee.3.10 APPEALSThe students can appeal for any of his grievances through proper channel. Thestudent has the right to appeal against the results of his/her examinations bycompleting the appeal form and submitting it to the head of the department/centerwithin three days from the date of announcement of results. The examinationscommittee will review the papers within one week from the date of submitting theappeal to verify the accuracy of all marks, or to mark any unmarked questions.Page 24 of 97

3.11 POSTPONEMENTThe college council is authorized, in case of acceptable reasons, to agree tothe postponement of a student’s study for a maximum period of two semesters,throughout the period of his/her study. The student has to submit the appeal withrelevant documents to Assistant Dean Student’s Affairs.3.12 STUDENTS' ASSESSMENT OF COURSES & DELIVERYTaking Feedback of the services delivered to the stakeholders is a great way toimprove the quality of services. Following the same principle ECT section is alsoconducting surveys for the courses and their delivery to assess the quality ofeducation delivered to the students. In these surveys students have to fill OnlineSurvey forms. The results of survey will be used to improve the effectivity of courseand its delivery.Students can fill these survey forms with full confidence that teacher or anyother person can’t access or use them for targeting a specific student and secondlyforms will be filled anonymously without mentioning the name or any otheridentification. But students have to do this activity with great responsibility and amotivation for improvement of system.Page 25 of 97

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVEANDPROGRAMME STRUCTUREPage 29 of 97

5.1 PROGRAMME OBJECTIVESThe objective of Mechanical Engineering program is to graduate qualified and talentedengineers who can successfully pursue careers in the Mechanical Engineering fieldand allied services. Graduates of the programme are expected to learn the fundamental concepts ofscience & engineering behind the technology of Mechanical Engineering (Design,Thermal and Production engineering). This will keep them abreast with the currentdevelopments and give them the capability to meet the challenges of industrialrequirements after their graduation. Mechanical Engineering is a Universal specialisation in Engineering and thischallenging field of engineering requires application of a wide range of knowledge from the basic sciences of mathematics, physics, mechanics and the principles ofengineering analysis, design and management. Mechanical engineering being an interdisciplinary subject, Mechanical engineersprovide the technological expertise and product know how for the development of highquality products without compromising a concern for the environmental issues andcontribute ultimately for the betterment of mankind.Page 30 of 97
