assessments meant for the particular CLO in a particular course.
 A cohort failure occurs if more than 50% students of a course are unable to score 40%
or above score in a PLO, determined as a function of CLOS of the subject.
 A PLO is attained for a particular subject only if a student obtains 50% or above PLO
score, called key performance indicator (KPI) and is defined as a function of scores of
constituent CLOS.
25
 A PLO till a given semester is achieved if a student gets 50% or above cumulative PLO
score, computed as a function of weighted sum of PLO score percentage in each
contributing subject

4.5 Assessment methodology for PLOs
The assessment of PLOs is done using two methods:
a) Direct assessment method

b) Indirect assessment method
The direct assessment method involves the PLOs assessment via evaluation of the courses
whereas: the indirect evaluation is conducted using survey forms (Table 4.3).
Evaluation of PLOs is based on the assessment results of CLOs evaluated at the completion of
every semester using commercially available software ‘Quality OBE’.
4.5.1 Assessment of CLOs:
The CLOs for each student and each subject is evaluated as following:
𝑗=𝑛
𝑂𝑏𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑠𝑗
Percentage attained of CLOs by student =∑ [ ] × 𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑗
𝑗=1 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑠𝑗
Where ‘j” represent the activity of particular CLO defined in the Course assessment Plan
4.5.2 Assessment of PLOs
The PLOs are obtained as weighted average of CLOs on Course level through the following
formulas.
Percentage attained of PLO by student = ∑𝑖=𝑛

𝑖=1 [𝐶𝐿𝑂]𝑖 × 𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖
Where “i” represents the number of CLO defined for the particular course.

37
CHAPTER 5. CURRICULUM AND LEARNING PROCESS
5.1 Overview of Curriculum
The academic curriculum of the program is designed to ensure the achievement of program
outcomes by all students. This is achieved by offering a balanced combination of technical and
non-technical contents coupled with appropriate assessment methods. This has a well-defined
core of essential subjects supported by requisite compulsory courses. It also invokes awareness
and comprehension of societal problems amongst the students. The theory content of the
curriculum is supplemented with appropriate laboratory courses.
The program structure is covering the essential fundamental principles at the initial stages,
leading to integrated studies in the final year of the program, in consonance with the approach
and levels defined in bloom’s taxonomy. Hallmark of the curriculum is to infuse original
thinking, resourcefulness and entrepreneurial spirits among students. This program is
embodying foundation courses as well as the general and specialized professional content of
adequate breadth and depth, including appropriate Humanities and Science components. The
program scheme is designed to ensure acquisition of knowledge and skills, encouraging
necessary exposure to inter-disciplinary areas. The contents of each constituent course of the
curriculum are updated to meet the national needs. Efforts are also made for an effective
relationship between the curricular content and practice in the field.
Complex Engineering Problem which is not easily quantifiable, e.g. communication skills
(oral/written), critical thinking, ethics, team work, etc. often require rubrics as a tool for its
assessment (both in direct or indirect methods). In addition to regular teaching and learning
activities such as classroom interaction, assignments, laboratory experiments and faculty
consultation, other aspects of student learning such as tutorial system, design projects,
seminar/workshops and exposure to industrial practice form an integral part of curriculum.
Internal reviews of quality assurance procedures are carried out periodically.
The delivery of subject and the assessment process employed is expected enabling the students
to develop intellectual and practical skills effectively, as deemed essential in program learning
outcomes. It is expected that the graduates are able to demonstrate professional ethics and
competence in oral communication, scientific & quantitative reasoning, critical analysis, system
design, logical thinking, creativity and capacity for life-long learning.
5.2 Rationale
The Curriculum of Mechanical Engineering has vertical and horizontal alignments. The vertical
alignment include placing/offering of basic courses in the initial semesters of the degree
program and courses comprising of advanced contents in the higher semesters. The vertical
38
alignment also addresses the issues of flow or linear advancement of knowledge from
intermediate, undergraduate and graduate level studies. The horizontal alignment includes
coherence of Mechanical Engineering with other Engineering disciplines.
Evaluation of students’ performance is based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains

comprising Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor. The laboratory part of the course is
evaluated based on rubrics that includes i) Lab Reports, ii) Lab Demonstration, and iii) Viva
Voce. Rubrics for laboratory work and laboratory reports are given in Annex C and D
respectively. The Lab part of a course is assessed out of 100.
5.3 Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are broad statements that describe what graduates are
expected to achieve a few years after graduation. It is ensured that the program objectives are
aligned with the vision and mission of the institution. Program Educational Objectives are
articulated and made known to everyone in the department.
The successful pursuit and realization of the mission and objectives, and the means adopted to
accomplish them bring out the quality of the institution and its programs. Program educational
objectives are based on the needs of the program’s constituencies and are linked to program
learning outcomes.
The program offered by Mechanical Engineering department has well defined program
educational objectives. The program educational objectives are defined clear, concise, realistic
and measurable within the context of the available resources. A process is developed to assess
the level of attainment of the program objectives to evaluate effectiveness of the academic
program. It includes feedback from faculty, employers, alumni and other stakeholders. The
evaluation results are utilized for refining and improving the program education objectives.
The program educational objectives are:
Adopt challenging careers in Mechanical Engineering with their professional competence for
solution to engineering problems
Pursue advanced education, research and development for achieving innovation in engineering
and technology
Assume leadership position within an organization, in compliance with ethical practices

societal, economic and environment contexts for sustainable national development.

5.10 Program Delivery and Assessment Method
The program is delivered through on-campus Lectures, Tutorials and Laboratory-work during
the daytime, five days a week (i.e., Monday to Friday). There are two main regular semesters
offered in a calendar year (i.e., Spring and Fall semesters). Each regular semester is spread over
18 weeks (4.5 months) in total, out of which 2 weeks are dedicated for mid and final semester
examinations. While remaining sixteen (16) weeks are scheduled for teaching activities. The
medium of instruction is English for all subjects except Islamic Studies and Pakistan Studies,
for which either Urdu or English medium may be opted. The total duration of program is Four
(4) years spread over Eight (8) regular semesters. During the entire study period, students need
to maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.0 out of 4.0 and completion of 133 credit hours to confer
on BSc in Mechanical Engineering degree by the university.
Maximum credit hours in regular semesters (i.e., Fall/Spring) offered to the students is eighteen
(6 courses). In addition to Spring and Fall semesters, the department also offers a summer
semester notified after spring semester with the approval of the competent authority. Summer
semester is not a part of regular academic calendar. However, maximum credit hours a student
can register in summer semester is twelve (12) for final year and six (6) for remaining students.
For three (3) credit hours instructional course, there are three (3) contact hours per week and
each hour has the duration of sixty (60) minutes. All Lab courses are treated as a separate course
of one (1) credit hour equivalent to three (3) Lab contact hours. Lab courses are evaluated
separately. The final examination is mandatory for all courses offered in the program. In order
to pass the course, minimum ‘D’ grade is required in both theory and lab courses separately.
Students are required to maintain a minimum of 75% class attendance for each course, as a
requirement to appear in the final examination. During the semester, the performance of the
student is continuously monitored through a number of coursework components comprising of
Assignments, Quizzes, Mini Projects, and Presentations etc., spread over the entire semester.
The grading criteria for all the theory subjects are as under:
50
Sessional marks (Quiz, Assignment, Mini Projects, Presentation) = 25%

Mid-term examination = 25%
Final examination = 50%
5.11 Laboratory Work
Lab courses of one credit hour have 16 Lab sessions per semester. Students divided into groups
need to perform in the Lab session every week. The general assessment criterion for the Lab
courses is given as under:
Final Viva = 25 %
Final Written Exam = 25%
Mid-term Written Exam = 25%
Lab Report / Lab Performance = 25%
Level of performance in examination is given in table 5.10.
Table 5.10 Level of performance

The Laboratory work mainly involves demonstration and hands-on experience to understand
the practical implication of theoretical knowledge gained in any subject. The students are
required to work in groups to accomplish practical tasks ranging from the guided response to
open-ended problems. Lab Rubrics in addition to Lab reports, Quizzes, Mid-term and Final
Written Exams and Viva Voce, etc. contribute to the assessment of the Laboratory work.
5.12 Course Folders
In order, to keep track on all the documents related to teaching and assessment processes during
a semester, a course folder is maintained for all courses. The course folder is essentially a
comprehensive hard copy evidence of course outline, weekly schedule, assessment criteria,
CLOs and its mapping with PLOs, quizzes, assignments, students result, instructors report on
attainment of CLOs by each individual student as well as by the whole cohort, mid-semester
exam and final semester exam. The course folder also contains answer copies of mid and final
semester exam for at least three students (best, average and worst). The components of course
folder are described as below.

5.13 Final Year Project (FYP)
A Final Year Project is the requirement of the degree program. The project is conducted during
7th and 8th semester. Total credit hours for the Project are 5. Normally, the students are given
a reserved time per week so that they can spend the entire day working on their Final Year
Project. The Projects are assigned keeping in mind the fact that the students will have to use
different skills learned during their previous 6 semesters to solve a complex engineering
52
problem. The output of the project could be a new product or development of an existing product
/process/ system. Final year project is marked as follow.
 35% sessional work, to be assessed by project supervisor

 20 % presentations, to be assessed by evaluation committee
 45% viva examination (including evaluation of project thesis), to be assessed by
examination committee comprising the internal examiner, external examiner, project
supervisor and department chairman
Assessment by evaluation committee consists of the following four stages / presentations.
i. 1st presentation in second week of 7th semester

ii. 2nd presentation in the mid of 7th semester
iii. 3rd presentation at the end of 7th semester
iv. 4th presentation in the mid of 8th semester
The rubrics for FYP is attached in the Annex E. The mapping of final year project corresponds

There is a separate evaluation committee for the evaluation of the projects. The committee
consists of a convener and other members. Some members of the evaluation committee are from
mechanical department while there is a member from outside department as well. The
evaluation committee evaluates the projects and awards different positions to the students on
different categories. After evaluation, the result is declared in the closing ceremony. In the
exhibition, there is also a chance for the industries to shortlist the students/projects of their
interest. There is usually an interview session in which the industries select potential students
and offer jobs in their organization.
5.15.3 Closing Ceremony
The closing ceremony starts with the speech of the chief guest, followed by the speeches from
other faculty and management personnel. After the speeches selected projects are awarded with
shields, certificates and cash prizes. The selected projects are categorized in eight different
categories. The categories include over all three best projects, one best mechanical design
project, one best research project, one best university industry linkage project, one best green
project and one best poster design project.
The organizers are also awarded with shields and certificates by the chairman of the department.

CHAPTER 10. CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

(CQI)
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is a permanent commitment of the faculty, Department
and University administration for the improvement of the program. Various departmental teams
and procedures are in place to ensure the execution of the program at stipulated quality and
continuous improvement after due analysis and deliberation.
10.1 Mechanism for Program Design
Program design is a continuous evaluation process carried out by carefully planning curriculum
keeping in mind the requirement of regulatory bodies of HEC and PEC.
10.1.1 Mechanism of Designing CLOs, PEOs and CURRICULUM
Departmental OBE Committee (DOBEC) was established specifically to oversee the tasks related
to OBE implementation. The Departmental Mission, Program Educational Outcomes (PEOs) were
designed initially by this committee and then forwarded to the Departmental Board of Studies
(BOS) for approval. The Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) and their mapping with Program
Learning outcomes (PLOs) were initially designed by the relevant course instructors and then
approved by the relevant Subject Committee.
A Departmental Curriculum Review Committee (DCRC) has been constituted under

Chairmanship of the Head of the Department and comprising all faculty members for curriculum
development. The curriculum for BS ME program is discussed in the meetings of DCRC
Suggestion if any are presented to Board of Studies (BOS) and then submitted to Academic
Council (AC) approval.
10.1.2 Tracking of contribution of Individual Courses to PLOs
The course learning outcomes for each course has been defined and linked with appropriate
program learning outcomes. The assessment methods of CLOs are part of the lesson plans where
a specific CLO may be evaluated using any suitable assessment method. The assessment methods
include quizzes, assignments, presentations, reports, midterm exam, and final semester exams.
Specific CLO is attributed to a specific question. The complete record of CLO attainment is
maintained. Mechanical Engineering Department has implemented a software solution (Q-OBE)
for the management of student CLO and PLO attainment, data tracking and record. The software
generates standardized reports for CLO achievement of individual student, CLO report of students
failing to pass CLOs, and PLO achievement reports.
99
10.1.3 Review of PEOs and PLOs
Review of PEOs and PLOs is linked with the review of program curriculum. The curriculum may
be reviewed on the basis of new regulatory requirements, alumni feedback, and employer
feedback.
10.1.4 Mechanism of CQI in the Department
The Mechanical Engineering Department established a well quality assurance mechanism. The
essential elements of this system are,
1. Continuous Quality Improvement Strategy/Loop

2. Subject Committees (four different subject committees covering all the
major areas of the curriculum) headed by Subject Committee Head (SCH)
3. Program Team Members (PTM)
4. CQI Committee
10.1.5 CQI Strategy/Loop
The Mechanical Engineering Department gathers data both by direct assessment through quizzes,
assignments and exams and indirect methods which include surveys from various stakeholders,
such as:
1. Department’s alumni
2. Employers
3. Graduating students
4. Faculty
The CQI model of the Mechanical Engineering Department consists of three cycles based on the
analysis of PEOs, PLO and CLOs achievement through direct and indirect assessments and
suggestions to the improvement.
10.2 Process of closing CQI Loops
The process of closing CQI loops comprises four major phases through which CLOs, PLOs and
PEOs cycles circulate.
10.2.1 CQI Loop for CLOs
Design: In Design phase, initially course plan is designed incorporating objectives, course content,
weekly lecture plans, and reference books. Six levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy are defined as
evaluation, synthesis, analysis, application, comprehension and knowledge. Later on, meaningful
100
teaching assessment plan for CLO is designed which incorporates quizzes, assignments and
projects.
Assessment: In assessment phase, CLOs that were defined in the design phase are assessed using
direct assessment method in which evaluation is done through the quizzes, assignments, exams
and projects. For more effective outcomes, it is necessary to adjust teaching and learning process
therefore assessment of teaching and course is done through course and teacher evaluation. CLOs
and PLOs assessment is done by Q-OBE software and is available to individual course instructor.
Analysis: Analysis of CLOs includes an examination of the course content and the learning
outcomes which is carried out through student evaluation. CLOs are examined closely through the
analysis of the grading.
Revision and Implementation: Once course learning outcomes are analyzed, course is then
reviewed by the CQI Committee. Any loopholes or weak areas identified are presented to the

Figure 10.1: CQI Process for CLOs
Review and Corrective Action Processes for CLOs
For each course, the review process (Figure 10.2) that starts with measurement of CLOs and
involves CQI, corrective actions and administrative processes for maintenance and/or
improvement of CLOs for the individual as well as a cohort. The attainment of CLOs is measured
101
through quizzes, home assignments, laboratory work, Mid Term, and Final Term examinations.
For individual students, if CLOs are attained, no corrective action is required. However, if an
individual is not passing the CLOs different strategies are adopted for improvement. In case, a
student fail a CLO; students are informed and advised for improvement of failed CLOs. Otherwise
extra coaching, tutorials, and coursework containing such CLOs are offered to students to attain
failed CLOs. If less than 40% cohort fails in the attainment of CLOs, no corrective action is
required. If more than 40% cohort fails in the attainment of CLOs, then CQI Committee and HOD
overview for any required improvements. In case CLO attainment is less than 40% as per KPI,
faculty invokes the CQI process in consultation with Department CQI Committee. The CQI
process leads to one or more corrective actions namely; faculty advice by HOD, faculty
development/training, review CLOs, review taxonomy levels, review assessment methodology,
review of other course-related facilities, and review of laboratory and equipment facilities.

10.2.2 CQI process for PLOs
Design: Program learning outcomes are defined and planned in parallel to the mission and vision
of the Institute/concerned faculty. Planning of PLOs incorporates designing and formulating an
entire framework of curriculum that focuses on the thrust areas of a faculty. Moreover, it is ensured
that the PEC/HEC guidelines are being met while planning and designing the program learning
outcomes.
Assessment: Program level outcomes assessment communicates to the faculty regarding how their
program is assessed with the aim and objective to promote student learning. Assessment of the
PLOs is done through the feedback obtained from the graduates’ survey and direct assessment
from CLOs. Both direct and indirect assessment is used to demonstrate the achievement of
outcomes.
Analysis: Analysis of PLOs is done through the internship reports, PLOs report, survey report and
grade report. These reports help to scrutinize the level of achievement of the program level learning
outcomes. Grade reports reveal “what are students learning”. Survey reports help to identify the
loopholes in student learning areas. Internship assessment reports on the other hand, reveal the
level of performance and understanding of students.
Revision and Implementation: In this phase, the gaps are identified in the reports and corrective
action plan is recommended by the assessment team which is then reviewed and implemented to
overcome the shortcomings in student learning. Curriculum revision takes place by institute’s
academic council.

Review and Corrective Action Processes for PLOs
Figure 10.4 shows the review process that starts with measurement of PLOs and involves CQI,
corrective actions and administrative processes for maintenance and/or improvement of CLOs for
the individual. The attainment of PLOs is measured through courses, final year projects, internship
feedbacks and surveys. For individual students, if PLOs are attained, no corrective action is
required. However, if an individual is not passing the PLOs different strategies are adopted for
improvement. In case, the failed PLOs are available in upcoming courses; students are informed
and advised for improvement of failed CLOs. Otherwise extra coaching, tutorials, and coursework
containing such PLOs are offered to students to attain failed PLOs.
Figure 10.4: Flowchart of processes involved in establishing and reviewing PLOs
104
10.2.3 CQI Process for PEOs
Design: Initially in designing phase of this cycle, the most essential thing is to design institute’s
vision and mission and then communicate it through proper channel. Once they are defined,
program specifications are planned and program objectives are formulated in accordance to these
specifications.
Assessment: Assessment of PEOs is carried out through feedback obtained from employer survey
and the Alumni survey. In this phase, program educational objectives are evaluated through
curriculum assessment as well.
Analysis: Analysis of the employer feedback report, alumni feedback report and the curriculum
review reports are carried out before the revision of PEOs.
Revision and Implementation: Curriculum is revised by the departmental CQI committee,

approved by BOS and finally approved by academic council of the Institute. Feedback from
Industrial Advisory board are also taken and corrective action planned against the shortcomings is
prepared and implemented. Program specifications are revised and implemented in this phase.
Figure 10.5: CQI Process for PEOs
105
Review and Corrective Action Processes for PEOs
The review process starts with measurement of PEOs and involves CQI, corrective actions and
administrative processes for maintenance and/or improvement of PEOs as shown in Figure 10.6.
If the achievement of PEOs is attained, no corrective action is required. Otherwise the CQI process
is invoked by the Departmental CQI Committee. The CQI process leads to one or more corrective
actions namely; revision of PEOs, revision of KPIs for PEOs, revision of assessment method,
and/or revision of curriculum/strategies. Any corrective actions if required are initiated by the
Departmental CQI Committee through DOBEC and may progressively be taken up to Academic
Council.

106
10.3 Program team members (PTM)
The Program Team Members (PTM) gathers data in the form of:
1 Assessment results of courses and KPIs
2 Surveys from employers, alumni, industry, graduating students and faculty
3 CQI forms from course instructor
PTM processes the data to quantify the KPIs and mapping of CLOs with PLOs and PEOs. For this
data processing and data analysis, various forms and database sheets have been designed. The data
are quantified and presented in various forms for further analysis. The achievement of CLOs, PLOs
and PEOs are discussed and future recommendations are forwarded to Departmental CQI
Committee for further analysis and processing.
10.4 Attainment of PLOs
The ME curriculum includes four core subject areas: Thermo-Fluid, Design, Materials &
Manufacturing, and Dynamics & Control. These subject areas are given special consideration as
they are significantly used to develop the depth and breadth of Mechanical Engineering. Moreover,
these subject areas are directed to develop the student cognitive skills regarding design, modelling,
problem solving, and evaluation of the alternative solutions.
These four subject area courses are correlated to PLOs as mentioned and discussed in various
graphs given below.
