CASE follows semester system of instruction in which the duration/frequency of classes for every course is referred to in terms of credit hours. Before the start of a particular semester, courses are assigned to instructors as per their expertise. They are also provided with the details of the course contents, as per the curriculum approved by the Board of Studies. Instructors are advised to prepare a week-wise breakup of the contents as they plan to cover/deliver in the classes. Throughout the semester, the pace and coverage of the course contents is occasionally monitored by the Chairman of the Department through interaction with the faculty. At the end of the semester, each instructor is asked to submit a report detailing any topic which couldn't be covered during the course for any reason. This report is used not only to estimate the extent of course coverage but is also communicated to the instructor teaching the sequel course in the next semester, so that he/she should makeup for these missed topics in his/her lectures. As far the laboratory work in undergraduate courses, each lab associated with a course has its own lab manual consisting of 10-14 experiments, depending upon the nature of the experiments. At the end of each lab session, students are required to submit their completed lab manuals, which are regularly graded by the lab engineers. In addition to the regular prescribed experiments, students are also given lab assignments in the form of individual and/or group design projects in most of the labs.
