Engineering Education has emerged as a fast developing 'discipline' in itself with universities across the world opening up exclusive 'Departments of Engineering Education' which is also impacting the socio-economic system in India. Most of the engineering institutions in India are part of the 'hub-and-spoke' university education system unique to India. Scientifically developing the 'Outcome-based Curriculum' (OBC) uniformly across India has been a daunting task, due to the dearth of an authentic book on OBC addressing the need of the Indian Engineering Education System. This being the first book of its kind in India and with OBC serving as the 'Constitution' of 'Outcome-based Education' (OBE), it will go a long way to address this need. The unique feature of this book is that it is replete with examples to explain the various concepts of planning, designing and implementing the OBC in engineering institutions. Different aspects of Outcome-based Teaching Learning (OBTL) and Outcome-based Assessment (OBA) are also discussed vividly. Apart from the examples weaved into the lucidly written seven chapters, additional examples and important formats are provided in the 'Annexures'; another unique feature of this book. Every engineering UG, PG, or Diploma teacher would be happy to possess a personal copy of this book for 24x7 access which will help to clear their doubts as it arises then and there. TARGET AUDIENCE • Technical Instruction • Technical Teacher Trainers • Curriculum Specialists/Instructional Designers • Education Policy Makers What the reviewers' say "The technical education has to adopt Outcome-Based Curriculum and there was a dire need of authentic literature which would serve as a base document for scientifically developing OBC. The book reflects the expertise of both the authors who have more than 30 years of experience in industry and academics in designing and implementing different variants of OBC for various technical education programmes. Such a book will serve as a reference for future generations to avoid 're-inventing the wheel again and again." —Dr. M.P. Poonia, Vice-Chairman, AICTE "National Institute of Technical Teacher Training and Research (NITTTR) Bhopal has been spearheading different forms of OBC for the last five decades in which the authors have contributed substantially. Care has been taken such that this book will not only benefit the Indian engineering education system, but also the engineering teaching fraternity at the international context."—Dr. C. Thangaraj, Director, NITTTR Bhopal

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly woven itself into the fabric of everyday life, transforming how society operates in profound ways. Its integration into various aspects of daily routines has led to increased efficiency and convenience, from personalized recommendations on streaming platforms to automated customer service. AI’s ability to analyze vast amounts of data and learn from it has enabled more intelligent decision-making processes, enhancing productivity across industries. This technological advancement has also facilitated the development of smart homes and cities, where AI-driven systems manage everything from energy consumption to traffic flow, creating environments that are more responsive to human needs. Beyond convenience, AI is reshaping the workforce and education, requiring societies to adapt to new modes of work and learning. Automation is taking over repetitive tasks, freeing up human workers to focus on more complex and creative endeavors. However, this shift also raises concerns about job displacement and the need for reskilling. In education, AI-driven personalized learning systems are providing tailored educational experiences, helping to bridge gaps in knowledge and cater to individual learning styles. These changes are prompting a reevaluation of traditional educational models and career paths, highlighting the need for continuous learning and adaptability. On a broader scale, AI is playing a critical role in addressing global challenges such as climate change, healthcare, and resource management. In healthcare, AI-powered diagnostic tools are improving the accuracy and speed of disease detection, leading to better patient outcomes. In environmental management, AI is being used to monitor and predict environmental changes, aiding in the development of sustainable practices. As AI continues to evolve, its impact on society will only deepen, presenting both opportunities and challenges that require careful consideration and responsible governance to ensure that its benefits are equitably distributed

The book covers several new research findings in the area of generalized convexity and integral inequalities. Integral inequalities using various type of generalized convex functions are applicable in many branches of mathematics such as mathematical analysis, fractional calculus, and discrete fractional calculus. The book contains integral inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type, Hermite- Hadamard-Fejer type and majorization type for the generalized strongly convex functions. It presents Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for functions defined on Time scales. Further, it provides the generalization and extensions of the concept of preinvexity for interval-valued functions and stochastic processes, and give Hermite-Hadamard type and Ostrowski type inequalities for these functions. These integral inequalities are utilized in numerous areas for the boundedness of generalized convex functions. Features: Covers Interval-valued calculus, Time scale calculus, Stochastic processes – all in one single book Numerous examples to validate results Provides an overview of the current state of integral inequalities and convexity for a much wider audience, including practitioners Applications of some special means of real numbers are also discussed The book is ideal for anyone teaching or attending courses in integral inequalities along with researchers in this area.

Each nation's financial system, which is also frequently referred to as the country's financial sector, is made up of non-specialized and specialized financial institutions, organized and unstructured financial markets, financial instruments and services that make it simpler to transfer money around, and so on. In addition to this, the system is comprised of the conventions and rituals that have come to be practiced across the many different markets, in addition to the interrelationships that are present within the financial industry. Additionally, the system is comprised of the interrelationships that are present within the financial industry. These components do not have to be inherently incompatible with one another; for instance, financial institutions do business in financial markets, and as a consequence, they are a component of such markets. Yet, there are situations when these components cannot coexist with one another because they are incompatible. The term "financial system" refers to the collection of intricately connected or interwoven organizations, actors, activities, markets, transactions, claims, and liabilities that are involved in the economy. The collection is denoted by the term "system," which is what is meant by the phrase "financial system." The phrase "financial system" was not coined until the 18th century, although its roots go back far further. Money, credit, and finance are three distinct concepts that are equally important to the problem of the current financial system, despite the strong connection that exists between them. Therefore, despite the fact that they are connected to one another in a way that is rather close, they cannot be substituted for one another. When people talk about "money," they are referring to the medium of trade or means of payment that is used the most. A credit or loan is a quantity of money that must be returned, often paired with interest; it refers to a debt that is due by an economic unit. This might be in the form of a credit card, a personal loan, or a business loan.
