Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

Program outcomes are the narrower statements that describe what students are
expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the
knowledge, skills and attitude that the students acquire while progressing through
the program. The program must demonstrate that by the time of graduation the
students have attained a certain set of knowledge, skills and behavioural traits, at
least to some acceptable minimum level. Specifically, it is to be demonstrated that
the students have acquired the following graduate attributes:

1. Engineering Knowledge: An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science,

engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of
complex engineering problems.
2. Problem Analysis: An ability to identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze
complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first
principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

3. Design/Development of Solutions: An ability to design solutions for complex engineering
problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with
appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and
environmental considerations.
4. Investigation: An ability to investigate complex engineering problems in a methodical way
including literature survey, design and conduct of experiments, analysis and interpretation
of experimental data, and synthesis of information to derive valid conclusions.
5. Modern Tool Usage: An ability to create, select and apply appropriate techniques,
resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to
complex engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.
6. The Engineer and Society: An ability to apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge
to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent
responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solution to complex
engineering problems.

responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
9. Individual and Team Work: An ability to work effectively, as an individual or in
a team, on multifaceted and /or multidisciplinary settings.
10. Communication: An ability to communicate effectively, orally as well as in
writing, on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and
with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective
reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and
receive clear instructions.
11. Project Management: An ability to demonstrate management skills and apply
engineering principles to one’s own work, as a member and/or leader in a
team, to manage projects in a multidisciplinary environment.
12. Lifelong Learning: An ability to recognize importance of and pursue lifelong
learning in the broader context of innovation and technological developments.
