Contributor Personality Development Program
SEMESTER VI
For Year: Pre-final year for all Diploma, Degree & Masters programmes over 2 semesters. For e.g. for Bachelors of
Pharmacy and Engineering, the course will be conducted in Semesters V & VI.
Rationale: The Contributor Program aims to accomplish the following outcomes in the lives of students–
• Improve the employability of students by giving them the right work ethic and thinking that employers are looking
for.
• Build their confidence with which they can go into any job and contribute meaningfully.
• Improve their ability to engage better in the workplace and to be able to handle the challenges that come up there.
• Build their career-worthiness and help them develop into future-ready contributors with ability to navigate a career
in a volatile, changing world.
• Widen their choices of career and success, so that they are able to open up more opportunities for themselves and
take up unconventional career pathways.
• Enable them to recognize how they, as technical professionals, can participate and make a positive contribution to
their communities and to their state.
Towards this goal, the Contributor Program has been designed to awaken and strengthen students from within, in terms
of building positive self-esteem, increasing their confidence level and I-can attitude, improving their aspirations, giving
them new methods of thinking, building their cognitive capacities, exposing them to the skills and practices associated
with being contributors in the workplace (not mere employees).
The Program content is also designed to expose students to real-world workplace scenarios and sensitize them to some
of the challenges faced in society around them, especially in the local communities around them and in their own state
of Gujarat.
The Contributor Program syllabus has been evolved and fine-tuned over several years, (a) to address the changing need
and contemporary challenges being faced by industry and what employers of today are looking for in the people they
hire and (b) by working extensively with universities and students building an appreciation of their challenges and
concerns. At the core, the program is guided by the higher ideas and principles of practical Vedanta in work.

DESIGN ENGINEERING-2B
(6th Semester)
Name of the Discipline & the Programme: Every discipline of the Engineering
Usual time of occurrence: 6th Semester
Relevance: This is an advance level course designed for those who have undergone the fundamentals
of Design Thinking process and understand the importance and process completely.
Objective: Understanding Design Thinking: The course aims to validate the learnings from the
understanding Design Thinking course by translating the concepts into exercises. In this module, student
will continue their work from 5th semester on Community based project and complete the Design
Thinking cycle with emphasis on product development, detail design, prototyping and validation of the
solutions in real environment.
Course Contents: Students have started community-based projects and successfully gone through the
process of Observation, Empathy, Ideation and initial stages of Product Development in 5th semester.
Now in 6th semester, they will continue their work from concept to product development, detail design,
prototyping and validation of the solutions in real environment. All students’ team need to work towards
final prototype and then test it in real environment. Final working model with YouTube video link is
required for this module.
In 6th semester, students will consider various design considerations as described further in this
document for detail design and then first prepare their models in software if required and then use
prototyping techniques to further build the concepts. The content is divided into week-wise activities to
better understand the course and to give enough time to all the learning aspects, but depending upon the
type and nature of projects, students and guide may re-schedule the activities. Students in 6th semester
need to follow below week-wise activities to complete the course requirement for 6th semester.

In the 6th semester, student’s team will validate their concept and detailed design part with reference to
(1) Design for performance, safety and reliability, (2) Design for Ergonomics and Aesthetics, (3) Design for
Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA), (4) Design for cost & Environment, (5) Modelling and Analysis of their
design (6) Prototyping (7) Engineering Economics of Design, (8) Design for Use, Reuse and Sustainability
and (9) Test the prototype. And additionally, students will also learn topic like (10) Ethics in Design.
Design for performance: The final product/process must perform for designed (projected in Product
Development Canvas - PDC) features and functions as per the requirement of the user in actual
working environment (revealed through rough prototype validation).
Design for Safety: Safety is the most important aspect of human centric product/process.
Reasonable factor of safety should be taken into account considering all adverse and factual factors
(Ideation canvas – location/context/situation may be referred back here) as there is human
interaction with product/process in manifold circumstances.
Design for Reliability: Reliability is the ability of a system or component to perform its required
functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time1 . Your final product/process should
be reliable as required by the user and should perform its desired functions as required for desired
time period.
Ergonomics is all about designing for human factors/comforts wherever they interact with
product/process and surrounding environments. According to the International Ergonomics
Association within the discipline of ergonomics there exist domains of specialization:
(a) Physical Ergonomics – is concerned with the human anatomy, bio mechanical and
physiological ability and its relevance to the product and surrounding systems;
(b) Cognitive Ergonomics – is concerned with the mental ability such as perception, memory,
reasoning and response power as they affect the interactions between humans and
products/systems;
(c) Organizational Ergonomics – is concerned with the optimization of socio-technical systems
including organizational structures, policies and processes
Aesthetics is all about designing for physical appearance (looks) of the product. In current time,
customers are willing to buy the products which have stunning looks with respect to their
competitive products. Design for Aesthetics includes appearance, style, colour, form/shape,
visuals and so on.
DFMA stands for two terms; DFM – Design for Manufacturability which means for ease of
manufacturing of parts/components of final product. DFA – Design for Assembly which means
manufactured parts can be easily assembled to form a final product. DFMA approach helps to design
and manufacture/construct the product easily and economically. Designer must design
components/parts that can be easily manufactured with available resources at minimum cost of
production and can be easily assembled by assembly personnel. The intentions behind implementing
DFMA practice in product development is to minimize manufacturing and assembly cost, improve
efficiency, eliminate waste of material and time. Iteration on involved raw materials may be performed
to check available alternatives – as materials play a major role in production cost. Basic guidelines may
be followed as below:
Check for alternative and compatible raw materials (Refer/ revise to LNM)
Minimize the number of parts (Refer/ revise to PDC)
Develop a modular design
Design parts to be multi-functional
Design parts for multiple-use
Design for ease of fabrication/ production/ assemble
Minimize assembly paths
Avoid separate fasteners (i.e. monolithic units)
Eliminate adjustments as possible (i.e. movement in parts addressing multiple use – it’s a trade-off)
Design for minimum handling
Avoid use of additional tools when possible
Minimize subassemblies (i.e. joining and removing some of the parts)
Use standard parts when possible (refer/ revise to LNM)
Simplify operations
Design for efficient and adequate testing (refer/ revise to LNM)
Use repeatable & understood processes
Analyse failures
Rigorously assess value (i.e. cost of production against minimizing cost of human efforts being done
at present – Refer to AEIOU observation framework)
Branch Specific software can be used for simulation/analysis purpose to further refine the
design before investing more time, money and resources.
6. Prototyping and Proofing of Concepts:
Cost Estimation
Labour, Material and overhead cost
The time value of money
Test your design in real operational environment and then iterate if required.

Appendix 1: The END SEMESTER Evaluation Scheme for
Design Engineering-2B (3160001) (6th Semester)
BE III year – all branches
To,
Students deserve a proper practical/ viva/project examination of the work that they have done over the
semester (or over the year for a 2-semester project). It is the responsibility of the University and Colleges
that all its examinations are conducted fairly, sincerely and with due diligence. So please look into the
following:
1. Please make proper arrangements so that all the examinations start in-time. If due to any reason, the
exam should not start at the scheduled time, please inform the examiners that they should take extra
time. But in no case the viva/ practical exam be conducted in a hurry without giving sufficient time for
evaluation of every student. If an exam is scheduled to be held over two days, please make the necessary
arrangements.
2. The University expects the Deans (and or special teams headed by the Dean or his/ her nominee) to
visit the Colleges during the practical/ viva examinations. As it came to University’s notice that some
examiners and colleges are completing viva exam in 1- or 2-hours’ time of entire class which is not
acceptable in any case and its immoral practice for any education institute. So, all stakeholders need to
take extra care of this issue.
3. Please see that all the necessary help and information is provided. Please receive them so that they can
do their job properly without wasting their time in searching for the place and in contacting the
concerned examiners and students. If they should want to visit the laboratories/ workshops, please make
the necessary arrangements.
4. Please inform the external examiner that he/she must note down the best 3 projects of the
department and convey the details of such projects by uploading the details of the project or/ and the
complete project report on the University’s server or send it to [email protected].
5. In case Internet or the server should not work, please provide the technical help to the external
examiner for preparing a CD of the reports of the best three projects of every department and please
make arrangements to deliver the CD to the examination department of the University.
PROCESS OF EVALUATION: At the ensuing 6th semester examinations, the work of the students in Design
Engineering-2B is to be evaluated by External VIVA and the evaluation is to be out of 80 marks.
A Viva-Voce examination will be conducted at the end of the semester by a team of two examiners, one
of whom will be an internal Faculty Member, who may have taught the subject. (Internal examiner must
remain the same throughout the entire of examination for batch). The other will be an external examiner
to be appointed by the University. Both examiners must be trained in Design Thinking through the FDP
conducted by University.
EVALUATION SCHEME
Note:
In final year, students will use their learning of Design Thinking from these four modules of DE-1A,
1B, 2A, 2B to complete their IDP/UDP projects. There would not be separate Design Engineering
subject in final year. On successfully completion of these four modules and repeating Design
Thinking process again and again, students would be able to use it effectively and can solve any
problem with creativity.
