Course Content Normative Ethics consists of fundamental theories of morality. The central question in Normative Ethics is the following. What is the standard/norm to decide the rightness or wrongness of an action? Or what gives an act a moral worth? The following are the main approaches to such questions.
a. Consequentialist Theories
b. Immanuel Kant’s Deontological Ethics
c. Virtue Ethical Theories
Using the theoretical frameworks in Normative Ethics, some actual ethical
issues are studied. Thus, we have some issues or problems in Applied Ethics.
Under Applied Ethics, the following topics will be covered.
Business ethics, institutional ethics, ethics of the media, issues of medical
ethics and environmental ethics.

Justification/ Need for introducing
the course
The main objective is to look at some of the actual ethical issues and see how
one can make philosophical arguments regarding such issues. Such
philosophical arguments would be stronger or would have more clarity if one
can distinguish between normative ethical concerns from applied ethical
concerns. In other words, to be able to critically think and examine any actual
problem mentioned in the applied ethics, primarily one should be able to
distinguish the normative ethical concerns from applied ethical concerns.
Thus, the objective is to see various approaches in normative ethics. After
that, analyze the problems in applied ethics.

14 Justification/ Need for introducing
the course
Discrete mathematics is a fundamental intellectual tool in
science and technology. The emphasis on its teaching and
research is rather recent (say since 1950's), and increasingly becoming important due to the
developments in computer science, information theory
and increasing sophistication in computer algorithms. An
introduction to some basic aspects of discrete mathematics, particularly finite mathematics,
emphasizing the algebra and geometry over finite fields,
basic counting techniques, finite combinatorial structures, will be useful for student particularly in computer science
and Information technology. Given the profusion of basic
elementary topics in discrete mathematics, several introductory courses may be suggested. Here is one
which includes some of its major topics.

xii Justification/ Need for

Robotics are being used in the industries for more than
two decades now. With decreasing cost of Electronics,
computational resources, now a day's robots are being
used, now a day, by not only in industries, but also in
the fields of medicine, prosthesis, home assistance,
agriculture and so on. Even after the wide-spread use,
the challenges in the field of Robotics are far from over
and a wide range of problems demanding research in
this field are still open. Due to the blend of immediate
applications as well as scope of research, a course on
Robotics is useful for students who will join the
industries as well as those who wish to pursue research
in this field.

CFD is an integral part of the design process in
mechanical, aerospace, and chemical industries, as well as
a topic of active research. Training at the undergraduate
and early-postgraduate level will enable students to take
advantage of opportunities in these areas.
The course aims to provide an introduction to
discretization and solution of the equations of fluid
dynamics and heat transfer. Students will gain an
appreciation of the principles of the finite-volume method,
experience in writing and debugging scientific codes, and
solving and analysing a problem using a commercial/open-
source package. Students should expect to devote
significant time to learning via coding assignments and
project.

xii Justification/ Need for
introducing the course
Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems take up a significant
portion of the energy demands in present-day society. The situation
will be aggravated in the future due to the increasing demand of
cooling requirements with the declining of conventional energy
sources. This demans design of high-efficiency cooling devices
with improved or novel thermodynamic cycles and devices. The
course primarily focuses on the methods employed in conventional
67
refrigeration and air-conditioning sytems. The course provides the
necessary domain knowledge and analytical skills for a student to
work in areas of design and analysis of cooling systems. In terms
of the academic pedagogy, being an applied course, its contents
provide a context for the concepts and principles encountered in
basic courses such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat
transfer.

xii Justification/ Need for introducing the
course
Theory of elasticity (TOE) is a course which
investigates effect of external loads on deformable
bodies. Unlike mechanics of materials, TOE is more
rigorous as it relaxes many assumptions of mechanics
of materials. Thus, it paves way to analyze solids
beyond structural elements like beams, trusses and
shafts. This approach for generalization invokes more
rigor mathematically. In this course, we linearize
strains and stress-strain relation to attempt problems
from mechanics of materials in the new perspective
i.e. from TOE approach but not limited to it. Thus, it
aims to appreciate the need for experimental
mechanics techniques like Photoelasticity,
Thermoelastic stress analysis, DIC and the need for
computational tools like FEM.
