Curriculum design is a very important academic process in engineering education. The curriculum should deal with needs of industry and keep pace with upcoming technologies at the same time create a sound fundamental base for a graduating engineer. It is always expected to attain graduate attributes to a larger extent. Hence it is very important to continuously monitor the gaps in the curriculum and update it. Analysis of curriculum is always a matter of concern but a subjective task to be accomplished. The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into model developed for understanding distribution of courses in various thrust areas, linkages in curriculum and mapping of curriculum to programme outcomes (PO). This model will help in identifying weakly mapped PO, contribution of a course in PO and defining Program Specific Outcomes (PSO). The paper discusses a curriculum analysis of one programme in an autonomous self-financed college in University of Mumbai.
