Proforma for Certificate
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 realised 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 organisations has been a goal set for the IISc by its
illustrious founder, J.N. Tata.
PROFICIENCE was 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. This program, believed to be the first of its kind
in the country, is a joint venture
between IISc and several Professional Institutions/Societies
in Bangalore. The program name
signifies the coming together of Professional Institutions
and the Indian Institute of Science.
It was started on an experimental basis in 1980 and
has proved to be extremely popular
and has attracted wide attention in academic and
professional circles. The demand for
some 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 PROFICIENCE courses. It has
the responsibility of evolving
appropriate teaching norms, providing the venue and facilities
for conducting courses, organising
the tests and examinations and issuing certificates to
the successful participants. These
tasks are coordinated by the Centre for Continuing
Education (CCE).
Page 2
COURSES
The continuing education program
organised under PROFICIENCE offers semester long
courses in areas of topical
interest. The courses are organised during evening hours 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 specialisations 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 specialise 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-Outstanding; A-Excellent; B-Very Good; C-Good;
D-Satisfactory; F-Fail.
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 PROFICIENCE credits being
counted towards partial fulfillment
of credit requirements towards any degree/diploma or
other formal recoginitions offered
by IISc.
Formal Course completion
certificates will not be issued under any circumstances to any
candidate.

generally not available to graduate engineers or even to
post-graduates. However, practicing
engineers, especially structural analysts and designers,
usually come across many practical
problems which requires finite element modeling using
plate and shell elementrs. The
objective of this course is to introduce such structural finite
elements in order to model problems
involving plates and shells.
Also Topics of Finite Element
Analysis for Dynamic loads and Linear Bucklings are included.
Syllabus
Review of Isoparametric 2-D and 3-D
finite elements. Finite elements for beams, arches,
plates, cylindrical shells,
axisymmetric shells and general shells. Euler-bernouli Beam
element. Timoshenko beam element.
Plate bending elements (Kirchhoff’s and Mindlin’s).
