Course outcome (Course Skill Set)

At the end of the course the student will be able to:
CO1 Understand the concepts of DC circuits and Electromagnetism.
CO2 Understand the concepts of single phase and Three phase AC circuits.
CO3 Apply the basic Electrical laws to solve circuits.
CO4 Understand the concepts of measurements and measuring Instruments
CO5 Explain the concepts of domestic wiring, electricity billing, circuit protective devices and
personal safety measures.
Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%. The
minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50). The minimum passing
mark for the SEE is 35% of the maximum marks (18 marks out of 50). A student shall be deemed to have satisfied
the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student secures not less
than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end examination(SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of
100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken
together.
Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE):
Two Unit Tests each of30 Marks (duration 01 hour)
 First test after the completion of 30-40 % of the syllabus
 Second test after completion of 80-90% of the syllabus
One Improvement test before the closing of the academic term may be conducted if necessary. However best two
tests out of three shall be taken into consideration
Two assignments each of 20 Marks
The teacher has to plan the assignments and get them completed by the students well before the closing of the
term so that marks entry in the examination portal shall be done in time.Formative (Successive) Assessments
include Assignments/Quizzes/Seminars/ Course projects/Field surveys/ Case studies/ Hands-on practice
(experiments)/Group Discussions/ others.. The Teachers shall choose the types of assignments depending on
the requirement of the course and plan to attain the Cos and POs. (to have a less stressed CIE, the portion of the
syllabus should not be common /repeated for any of the methods of the CIE. Each method of CIE should have a
different syllabus portion of the course). CIE methods /test question paper is designed to attain the different
levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as per the outcome defined for the course.
The sum of two tests, two assignments, will be out of 100 marks and will be scaled down to 50 marks

Semester End Examination(SEE):

Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question papers for the
subject (duration 03 hours)
 The question paper shall be set for 100 marks. The medium of the question paper shall be
English/Kannada). The duration of SEE is 03 hours.
 The question paper will have 10 questions. Two questions per module. Each question is set for 20
marks.The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module. The
student has to answer for 100 marks and marks scored out of 100 shall be proportionally reduced to
50 marks.
 There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a maximum
of 3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
