Class 11 2023-24 Engineering Science syllabus ISC: Engineering Science is a diverse subject that implements the principles of science, mathematics, and engineering to develop solutions to complex problems. The fields like aerospace, civil, electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering require professionals with Engineering Science backgrounds. However, it was not until the 20th century that Engineering Science emerged as a distinct field of study. To know more about the basics and scope of Engineering Science read the Penn State College of Engineering’s report.
Engineering Science is one of the electives offered by CISCE to their ISC students of 11 and 12 classes. Students who already opted for Physics as their elective cannot choose this subject. If you continue to read further you will get the detailed syllabus of Engineering Science for ISC Class 11 with a free downloadable pdf. Read the syllabus to have a better understanding and preparation of the subject.
ISC Engineering Science Syllabus Highlights
- This subject may not be taken with Physics.
- The syllabus is designed for candidates who have followed a course with a bias towards engineering.
- The examiners will attach importance to an understanding of scientific principles and will look for evidence that these have been studied practically. The examiners may ask to see the practical notebooks.
ISC Class 11 Engineering Science Syllabus Key Points
There will be two papers in the subject:
Paper I – Theory: 3 hours…… 80 Marks
Paper II – Project Work ……. 20 Marks

List of suggested assignments for Project Work:
1. Study changes in the velocity of a body under the action of a constant force and determine its acceleration. Also plot a graph between velocity and time under a constant force. Discuss the variation in acceleration for masses m, 2m, 3m, 4m and 5m placed on a smooth surface when constant force F is applied on them.
Similarly discuss the variation in acceleration when different forces F, 2F, 3F, 4F and 5F are applied on a body of mass m.
2. You are given a rubber pipe, a nozzle, source of water under pressure, i.e., a tap connected to an overhead water tank, a measuring tape and a large-size protractor.
(i) Study the variation in the range of the jet of water with change in the angle of projection.
(ii) How would the range change if the velocity of projection is changed (increased/ decreased)?
(iii) Calculate the velocity of projection by using the maximum value of the horizontal range measured as above.
(iv) How can you achieve a constant pressure of inlet water to keep the projection velocity of water constant?
(v) Study the variation in maximum height attained by the water stream for different angles of projection.
3. Study atmospheric pressure and humidity (as given in the newspaper) for a month. Plot a graph between atmospheric pressure and humidity. Is there any relationship between humidity and atmospheric pressure? Discuss.
4. Conduct an extensive study on any Indian /foreign Physicist. Prepare a report discussing their contributions.
