Diploma in Automobile Engineering (DAM)

(Three-year program-semester system)

Introduction

The automobile Engineering is genuine field in the engineering and technology sector. Many people in the world have been given emphasis for the broader application of automobile. This sector has been helping the world for the overall development and it has been creating wage and self employment opportunities both in public and private sectors. This curriculum is designed with the purpose of producing middle level technical human resources equipped with knowledge and skills related to automobile engineering so as to meet the demand of such workforce in the country to contribute in the national economic development of Nepal. The knowledge and skills incorporated in this curriculum will be helpful to deliver the individual needs as well national needs in the field of automobile engineering. This course is based on the job required to perform by an automobile technician at different related industries and organizations in Nepal and abroad. The Diploma in Automobile Engineering program extends over three years. Each year is divided into two semesters. There are six semesters in total within the period of three years. This curriculum includes the core subjects like physics, chemistry, and mathematics applicable in the field of auto-mechanical engineering. It also includes language subjects like Nepali and English applicable for the communication in the field of automobile. The second year course focuses on the basic disciplinary subjects of Automobile Engineering. Similarly, third year comprises of the disciplinary subjects of Automobile Engineering. It also has provision of elective subjects in the specific areas of automobile engineering. The course structure and the subject wise contents that follow reflect the details of this curriculum. In short, this curriculum guides its implementers to produce competent and highly employable middle level technical workforce in the field of automobile engineering. The contents of individual subjects prescribed in the curriculum are incorporated in the light of "must to know and must to do" principle.
