Report of the Sub-committee to review the course: Esc101

Title of the course: Fundamentals of Computing (3-1-3-14)
Objective of the course: The aim of the course is to learn algorithmic problem solving and its actualization
in a real programming language (in this case C).
Specialized infrastructure requirement: In addition to the lectures and tutorial the course has a supervised
lab once a week where students solve programming problems. Typically, 3 to 4 sections (40 students per
section) do their lab on a particular day. So we require a lab with at least 160 Linux machines each day of the
week. Also, it is necessary to keep the lab open and accessible round the clock since students who have been
unable to complete their programming problems during the regular lab hours can do so at other hours of the
day/night.
Instructional aspects: There are 3 lectures and a single tutorial (batch size of no more than 40) where
example problem solving is done. These tutorials are quite interactive and so tutorial batch size should
remain small not more than 40. The course will have both faculty and student tutors.
Course content:
Stored program concept (with simple computer simulator), machine language and instruction formats,
assembly language for the simple computer. Integer representation, finite representation of real numbers,
overflow, underflow, errors due to finite representations. Expressions, values and variables, types, lvalue,
rvalue, unary, binary, ternary operations. Conditionals, if-then, if-then-else, nested conditionals, switch-case.
Loops, for, while, repeat, loop-invariants, pre-condition, post-condition. Functions and return values,
arguments, pass-by-value, effect of passing pointers (like pass-by-reference). Recursion. Arrays, enums,
searching, sorting. Pointers, lists, dynamic data structures, stack, queue, graphs, trees related algorithms,
memory and its management. Elementary complexity - motivation, concrete complexity, big O notation.
Linux tools, introduction to shell programming. Elementary numerical problem solving will addressed
largely through some labs e.g. root finding, solutions of systems of linear equations, integration, solution of
ODEs.
Approximate lecture wise breakup:

Suggested text and reference material: There is no single text for the material to be covered. The instructor
will provide slides, notes, online links and other reading material as needed. The following book is suggested
as a reference for C.
1. Brian W Kernighan and Dennis M Ritchie, The C Programming Language,2nd Ed. ANSI C version,
Pearson, 2006.
Remarks and main differences suggested in this review:
1. Till recently Java was the language used and objects and object orientation was introduced. The CSE
department based on feedback had removed the object oriented parts and consequently shifted to C
as the programming language for the course. The committee recommends continuation of this model.
Since there are large differences in the backgrounds of the students taking the course the committee
did discuss in detail the possibility of running two separate courses one for students who already
having programming background and the other for those who do not know programming or have not
handled computers before. After much discussion it was decided to continue with the current model
where all students do a single course.
2. Based on feedback from sister departments the labs have a significant applied component related to
numerical problem solving. There are no direct lectures on this part but examples in class and the lab
sheets will contain enough detail for the students to be able to attempt elementary numerical problem
solving.
3. Basic ideas regarding stored program computers, elementary data structures and Linux shell
programming have also been included.

Report of the Subcommittee to review the course number: ESC201

Title of the course: Introduction to Electronics 3L-1T-3P-0A (14 credits)
Objective of the course: The course offers an introduction to the basic principles of electrical
circuit analysis and exposes students to electron devices and analog and digital electronic
circuits.
Specialized Infrastructure requirement: In addition to the lectures, the course is associated
with a laboratory session. Apart from the regular infra-structure requirements for running such a
laboratory session, Field programmable gate array (FPGA) boards and associated PCs will be
needed for conducting a few sessions.
Instructional aspects: It is preferable that the tutorial should be either on a Friday or on a
Monday so that concepts can be discussed there before being applied in the laboratory.
Course content:
Circuit analysis techniques (nodal, mesh, superposition, Thevenins, and
Nortons theorems); Transient analysis of capacitive and inductive circuits; Sinusoidal steadystate analysis of circuits containing resistors, capacitors, and inductors; Transfer functions and
frequency response; Semiconductors; Diodes and diode circuits; MOSFETs and amplifiers; IC
fabrication; Operational amplifier circuits and waveform generators; Number system, logic gates,
logic minimization, combinational circuits; Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs); Flip-flops,
sequential circuits, counters, shift registers; data converters (DAC, ADC).

Report of the Subcommittee to review the course number: ESO 206

Title of the course: (Dynamics) 2L-1T-0P-0A (8 credits)
Objective of the course: The course prepares the student to tackle problems dealing with
dynamics of interconnected rigid bodies frequently encountered in engineering applications.
Specialized Infrastructure requirement: In addition to the lectures, the course is associated
with a tutorial session that will be exclusively devoted to problem solving. In addition we
envisage demos of some machines in a few tutorials and solving problems related to them. These
ideas need to be developed further. One can start with very simple machines like table fans and
gyroscopes, and show more complicated stuff like helicopters.
Instructional aspects: It is preferable that the tutorial should be on a Friday so that theoretical
concepts underlying the problems to be tackled can be discussed in the lectures during the
weekdays and the systematic approach to solving these problems can be practiced on several
other problems by the student during the weekend.
Course content:
Introduction to co-ordinate system and phase space, review of vectors and tensors, dynamics of
system of particles, steady mass flow and variable mass problems, co-ordinate transformation
involving 3d rotations and the concept of angular velocity, kinematics of rigid bodies, kinetics
of rigid bodies, general planar motions, general 3D motions, advanced examples.

ARC sub-committee on ESO 208 (Earth Sciences)

1. The CE department has proposed a Minor in Earth Sciences in which a course with
contents similar to ESO208 has been listed as a compulsory course.
2. The committee therefore feels that it may not be necessary to have a separate course on
Earth Sciences as ESO208.
3. In case the ARC still feels that ESO208 must remain in the ESO basket, or if the Minor
in Earth Sciences is not approved, then the suggested course content is attached herewith.

tutorialandalaboratory.ThetutorialshouldbeonaFridaysothatconceptscanbediscussed
there before being applied in the laboratory. The ARC discussed the aspect regarding the
tutorial. It recommended that the tutorial hour be merged with the Laboratory Hour.
Accordingly,thelabhourshavebeenincreasedfromtwotothree.
Course content: Introduction to sketching, Principal views, principles of dimensioning,
Introduction to computeraided graphics, missing lines and missing views, sectional view,
assembly drawings, overview of pictorial representation, and isometric drawing in detail,
perspective drawing, lines, planes, auxiliary view, relationship between lines and planes,
intersectionoflinesandplanes,intersectionsofsolidsanddevelopmentoflateralsurfaces.
