INTRODUCTION
Rapid strides in science and technology make it imperative that the education
of professionals be continued over their entire career rather than be confined
to a single stretch. What is needed is a complete integration of education with
work during their productive life span, which will be adequate to help them cope
with new demands. Continuing Education embraces all the processes of
education that one undergoes throughout a working life and which have a
relevance to the practical problems likely to be encountered in one's career. It
may be realized through formal and informal modes of teaching, or through
mass media. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness on the part
of Universities that imparting knowledge to people beyond their boundaries is
an equally important part of their service to the community. With this broad
perspective of their function in society, Universities have begun to seek ways
of reaching out to Professionals. The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has
evolved several mechanisms to make the expertise and facilities available to
qualified technical people in industries, Universities and research establishments.
The need for forging links between academic institutions and industries and
R&D organizations has been a goal set for the IISc by its Illustrious founder,
J.N. Tata.
CCE-PROFICIENCE has been established with the objective of providing a
sustained and rigorous continuing education program offering courses on
subject of topical interest to scientists and engineers in and around Bangalore.
The demand for some of the courses, especially on computers, microprocessors
and management is so overwhelming that it has not been possible to admit all
the eligible applicants. Every year, there has been a steady increase in the
number of students as well as the types of courses offered indicative of the
growing popularity of this Program.
IISc is the custodian of the academic standards of all CCE-PROFICIENCE
courses. It has the responsibility of evolving appropriate teaching norms,
providing the venue and facilities for conducting courses, organizing the tests
and examinations and issuing certificates to the successful participants. These
tasks are coordinated by the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE).

2
PROFICIENCE
COURSES
CCE-PROFICIENCE offers semester long courses in areas of topical interest. The courses
are organized during evening hours and (or) weekends, so that working professionals can
participate without getting their normal work affected. All courses are normally at the
postgraduate level and many of these are in fact offered to the IISc students regularly.
Participants in certain selected courses are provided practical training in computer and other
laboratories, as appropriate. The course contents are regularly upgraded on the basis of
feedback from the faculty and the participants. Courses are offered during the period
AUG-DEC and JAN-MAY and around 15-20 courses are scheduled during each Semester.

Each course has lectures at the rate of two or three hours per week depending upon the
number of course credits. Tests and examinations are conducted according to the IISc
norms. A series of courses leading to different specializations are offered in a sequential
manner, especially in the area of Computer Science and Engineering. This would enable
the participants who start with the entry level courses progress towards more advanced
ones and specialize in one of the streams.

EVALUATION
The total marks for assessment will be equally distributed between the sessional work
and end semester examination. The sessional work consists of class tests, midsemester
examination, homework assignments etc. as determined by the instructor. The participants
who maintain a minimum of 75% attendance both in the theory and computer/laboratory
classes will be evaluated based on the combined performance in the end semester
examination and sessional work and assigned a letter grade.

NO RE-EXAMINATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

The letter grades carry a qualitative assessment as indicated below:

S - O u ts ta n d i n g ; A - E x c e l l e n t ; B - Ve r y G o o d ; C - G o o d ; D - S a t i s f a c t o r y ; F - F a i l .

CERTIFICATES

Certificates will be issued to only those who get at least a 'D' grade. Attendance
certificates shall not be issued to any one. This being a continuing education program
meant especially for self improvement, the credits accumulated cannot be equated with
the credits earned through formal education. There shall be no claims for CCE-
PROFICIENCE credits being counted towards partial fulfillment of credit requirements
towards any degree/diploma or other formal recognitions offered by IISc.

Formal Course completion certificates will not be issued under any circumstances to any
Candidate.

 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS & DESIGN OPTIMIZATION
11. OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS (2+0)
Objectives
Advanced research in material science to enhance the life with reduced cost resulted in metal
alloys, plastics, composites and nano materials. Structural design and optimization of components
with unusual shapes became possible with current available finite element software tools such
as ANSYS, NISA, NASTRON, ABACUS, SYSNOISE, LSDYNA and MATLAB etc. The fundamental
knowledge of stress, strain, shear, torsion in relation to the structures and S-N curves in
relation to the material becomes important. The interpretation of the FEM software output calls
for the knowledge of analysis and design optimization of mechanical systems. This course
essentially trains engineers/scientists/entrepreneurs/instructors in the industries/institutes to
optimally design various mechanical systems and sub-systems for technically superior and
commercially viable value added product.
