01TE6103 Responsible Engineering 3-1-0 4 2015

Course Objectives
This course provides an understanding of the implications of professional knowledge and the
obligation for responsible behaviour in the engineering profession. This course prepares the students to
understand and appreciate the social and ethical implications of engineering technologies. Through the help
of articles and case studies they will learn to identify these impacts within the broader context of local and
global communities. Several cases will be used to illustrate the potential effects of the application of
engineering knowledge in communities. Students will identify social and ethical responsibility based on
professional codes of ethics published by discipline specific organizations. They will look at some
engineering failures in order to integrate concepts of risk analysis into the discussion of professional
responsibility, especially as these failures relate to safety and liability, whistle blowing, clients/employers
relations, environmental issues, issues related to advances in information technology, etc.

Syllabus
This course is dedicated towards definitions and basic concepts of various type of social
responsibility with simple examples. The objective is to understand terminology along with what
they are intended for. A review of certain behavioural aspects of individuals, corporations, public
agencies and charitable organizations in developed as well as developing countries are discussed:
Are there lessons that could be learned from such observations? Are there things that could be
adopted while things that should be avoided? A sample of suggestions and recommendations are
made followed by a broad range of opportunities presented for discussion. The intention is to
motivate students to identify problems, suggest solutions and recommend course of action and
visualize/estimate the impact such actions may have.

Expected Outcome
1. Assess the social and ethical implications of various technologies and their uses in
India and in a global setting.
2. Have a general understanding of the challenges created by cultural differences
3. Be able to analyze an ethical situation and recommend a suitable course of action
4. Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of values, ethics, and social
responsibility for the self and contemporary society within the framework of the
engineering profession.
5. Demonstrate the ability to reflect on how values shape personal, professional, and
community ethics and decision-making.
6. Be aware of their duty to society, including that for safety and the environment, and
their professional responsibilities and rights.
7. Appreciate legal and regulatory requirements for safety, and engineers
responsibility for establishing and maintaining safe practices.
8. Articulate a critical and informed position on an issue and engage in responsible
intellectual exchanges that demonstrate the ability to grasp and respond to other
positions as well as set forth their own.

Translational Engineering

Course Objectives
Translational science is understanding how theories and findings in basic research can be applied
to practical cases. In this course we develop both sets of skills through lectures, discussions, written
and oral assignments, focusing on the examination of several case studies concerning real
technologies in society.

Syllabus
What students learn in their courses and laboratories can often be difficult to apply to real
situations. In real life technological principles must be integrated with financial costs,
political issues, disruption key services that the public relies on and historical precedents.
An example in Transportation Engineering is the decision made to widen the curvy
roadway that connects the various southern cities of Kerala and Tamil-Nadu. The effort,
duration and cost of widening is almost impossible to predict while a bi-pass highway can
be constructed fairly quickly causing the existing narrow road to be utilized by the local
traffic only. A proper analysis with tangible benefit cost matrix can speak much louder
than political and ethical challenges. Another example is the issue of all the millions of
miles of canals in India. These canals were built as means of transporting goods and
materials across the Nation and as a way to control rainwater. Today, the canals are rarely
used in transport and are leaky reducing their efficiency as drainage ports. What should
the nation of India do with these canals? Which governing body of the country should take
initiative or be held responsible for such negligence?

Engineering students should have basic understanding that science application is more
than taking theory and data and applying it to real life. Other challenges and factors must
be considered before a practical solution to an existing problem can be addressed. They are
expected to be able to take initiative and even leadership roles in utilizing knowledge and
advancements from various disciplines and put them together to address practical
solutions to issues related to the various disciplines of engineering as well as
environmental issues.

Expected Outcome
1. Identify what issues aside from technology is required to apply new or improved
technology to engineering challenges.
2. Integrate lessons and skill from other areas of translational science such as
biomedical engineering.
3. Be able to present their ideas to their peers in a clear and meaningful manner.

Management

Course Objectives

This course provides an understanding of the application of planning and management tools to
varied spatial scales–region, city and urban subsystems.

Syllabus
Theoretical Background to City and Regional Planning Process- Planning Institutions, Regulations
and Policies- Urban planning legislations and guidelines- City and Regional Planning Practice-
Planning for Urban Subsystems- Inclusive Urban Planning: Social Justice and Economic Equity

Expected Outcome

In a rapidly urbanizing world, haphazard and uncontrolled growth of cities, inadequate and
inefficient transport systems, lack of basic services and the expansion of informal sector are some of
the major challenges. Planning and management of urban areas is of critical importance in order to
mitigate some of the effects of indiscriminate urban expansion and also provide a base for
sustainable and inclusive development for future.

Course Objectives

By the first quarter of the semester, the student should compile his/her work by doing the final
experimentation and result analysis. Towards the middle of the semester there would be a pre-
submission seminar to assess the quality and quantum of work by the department evaluation
committee. This would be the pre-qualifying exercise for the students for getting approval for the
submission of final thesis. The decision of the departmental committee in this regard is final and
