Criterion 1: Organization and Governance
1.1 Background Information
(Describe in no more than 300 words the historical background of the institution and the program under
evaluation.)
Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET) is one of the leading public engineering
& technology universities of Bangladesh. It was established in 1967 as Khulna Engineering
College affiliated to University of Rajshahi and started the academic journey on 3rd June 1974
with three academic departments. From its inception, it was facing lot of barriers to flourish as a
center of excellence in the field of engineering and technology education. Later, in July 1986, it
was converted to Bangladesh Institute of Technology (BIT), Khulna having more academic and
administrative autonomy. But, unfortunately, it could not overcome many of its problems those
were facing earlier. At last, in September 2003, it was upgraded and transformed in to Khulna
University of Engineering & Technology with full academic and administrative autonomy. At
present, it has 20 (twenty) academic departments under 3 Faculties. It offers B. Sc. Eng., BURP,
B. Arch, M. Sc. Eng., and Ph. D. degrees in engineering and technology. It also offers M. Sc., M.
Phil., and Ph. D. degrees in basic sciences. Every year, around 1060 students get admission into
different departments at undergraduate level through a hard competitive admission test. A number
of foreign students are also studying at this university. At postgraduate level, around 200 students
get admission into different departments. More than 350 highly qualified faculty members are
working hard for conducting teaching and research at various departments. The university has
established 3 specialized institutes, namely, Institute of Information and Communication
Technology (IICT), Institute of Disaster Management (IDM) and Institute of Environment and
Power (IEPT) to conduct training and research in the respective fields. It has very good
infrastructure including number of academic buildings, central library, internet and computing
facilities, laboratories, workshops, and students’ hall of residence, playground, auditorium,
cafeteria, and residence for teachers and staffs. All these facilities are ornamented in a beautiful
green campus located at the North-West corner of Khulna city. The university is a safe home for
everybody. It upholds the principle of equal rights irrespective of religion, cast, sex, and color.
Department of Mechanical Engineering is one among the 1st three departments established in
1967. The department has the reputation of being the finest in the country and is dedicated towards
the advancement of technology and science. The foundation of the department is built on its
dedicated teaching staffs of highly qualified and experienced in all streams of mechanical
engineering. To cope with the latest developments and trends in the field, the department
consistently strives to provide excellent education and research. The department is home to around
500 students studying to obtain B. Sc. Eng./M. Sc. Eng./Ph. D. degree in mechanical engineering.
There exists a strong interactive relationship between the students and teachers, which enables the
students to develop a sound foundation in different streams of mechanical engineering. This is
reflected in placement of our graduates. They are being placed in top ranking organizations at
home and abroad. Every year, a quite number of our graduates proceed to top universities at home
and abroad to pursue their higher education. As one of the largest and vibrant departments of the
campus today, we have the special responsibility to lead and embrace the standards of the modern
institution.

At the University level, Vice-Chancellor administer the university with the help of Syndicate,
Academic Council, Finance Committee (FC), Planning & Development Committee, Committee
for Advance Studies and Research (CASR), and other statutory bodies. By Default, Vice-
Chancellor is the chairperson of all the committees and statutory bodies. The Syndicate is solely
responsible for major policy-making and implementing recommendations made by other statutory
bodies. Academic Council is the authority to formulate and implement the academic rules and
regulations and the recommendations made by various Academic Committees from different
degree awarding departments. Finance Committee looks after the financial matters. By laws,
KUET enjoys full academic autonomy regarding teaching, learning, assessment, student
admission, faculty members and staffs appointments and limited autonomy regarding financial
matters.
At the Faculty level, Dean is the chairperson of the faculty Executive Committee (EC); he
coordinates the academic activities of the departments with the help of faculties from different
departments. He also recommends the academic manpower requirements of the departments on
the demand of the head of the respective departments.
At the Department level, there are several committees such as Academic Committee for
Undergraduate Studies (ACUG), Departmental Monitoring Committee (DMC) and Academic
Committee for Postgraduate Studies (ACPG) to run the department. Head of the Department
(HOD) is the chairperson of all the committees. DMC helps and suggests the HOD to solve the
day-to-day problem of the department. ACUG handles the problems related to UG program, such
as, modification of course curriculum, addition of new courses, propose panel of paper setters and
examination committee etc. whereas the ACPG deals with the postgraduate related matters, such
as appointment of supervisors for postgraduate students, approval of thesis proposal etc. Some of
these decisions send directly to the Academic Council or through some other committees for final
approval. One most important function of the department is conducting undergraduate final
examination. There is an Examination Committee approved by the academic council for each
Term of each year. The committee consists of at least 5 (five) members of whom one is external
member. The HOD collect 2 sets of question papers for each subject from two paper setters. The
examination committee moderate the question papers so that it maintains the standard and quality
of question papers. Another important task of the department is the student advising. The newly
admitted students are assigned to faculty members. Each faculty member may have 5-10 students
depending on the experience of the faculty member. The main responsibility of the student advisor
is to help the students regarding course registration. For efficient management and functioning of
the laboratories, 2-3 faculty members are assigned to each lab; among them, one senior faculty
member works as the chair. They prepare the list of raw materials and equipment required to run
the laboratory. The organizational chart of KUET in brief is shown in Figure 1.

1.5 Existence of and adherence to policies


1.5.1 Documented policies
(Provide copies of the statutes, the ordinances and any other relevant policies such as service rules, academic
rules, codes of conduct, disciplinary rules, recruitment and promotion policies, salary structure, leave rules,
and scholarship and financial aid policies for students and employees. Describe how each of these policies
is disseminated to the stakeholders.)
As stated before, the university was upgraded and converted to Khulna University of Engineering
& Technology (KUET) with full academic and administrative autonomy in September 2003, by
the Jatyo Sangshad through the Act. No. 33 of 2003. With the Act and the First Statute as approved
by the honorable President of Bangladesh, there are several guidelines in the Act and the Statute.
According to the power given to the Syndicate, the highest administrative body of the university,
it formed various Rules and Regulations for the smooth running of the university.
The Service Rules for employees and faculties, Academic rules for both UG and PG students,
Disciplinary Rules for students as well as for employees, Recruitment and Promotion Policies,
Leave Rules, Pension Rules etc. are framed by the Syndicate. For recruitment of any new post, an
open advertisement is made through national newspapers and university website. The selection is
made by the respective selection committees and finally approved by the Syndicate. For
promotion, upgradation policy is present for employees, officers and teachers. The salary structure
is more or less same as that of the other universities. The pay scale proposed by the ministry of
finance for autonomous bodies is followed in this university. There are predefined qualification
tests for employees, officers and teachers. In addition to the general rules of leave, there are leave
rules for the higher education of teachers and officers. The disciplinary rules for employees is very
similar to the GoB rules. The pension rule is similar to GoB with some deviation. For the code of
conduct, the GoB rules are followed.

1.5.2 Adherence to policies


(Describe briefly the extent to which the policies are adhered to when making academic and administrative
decisions. Additionally, list the frequency of exception requests and the cases in which exceptions are made.
The process for making exceptions, if any exists, should be outlined.
Discuss how the effectiveness of the policies is evaluated and the processes that are followed to update a
policy. Give relevant examples, where applicable, to justify assertions.)
The university administration strictly adhere to the policies that exist for various purposes. So, far
no deviation is made by the university authority. But sometimes there are deviations particularly
in the academic decisions, but that is not by the university authority rather the deviation is imposed
by the Judiciary Departments. For example, because of disciplinary action some students were
expelled from the university for several duration based on the grievance. But the Judiciary
Department stayed the punishment. In most of the cases, the Judiciary raises question towards the
power of the university authorities. This is sometimes embracing to the university authority.

27
1.6 Grievance redress system
(Present documents that pertain to the existence of a grievance redress mechanism, if any, for students and
employees. Briefly discuss to what extent the system has been used in reality. Give examples to justify the
assertions.)
In the national level, Grievance redress system (GRS) is a platform through which citizens can
send a formal complaint to the government to express their dissatisfaction with public service
providers. It allows users to file complaints anonymously, in order to reduce concerns about
negative repercussions. In the university level, GRS policy is to provide employees with a
framework for settlement of individual grievances. For the purpose of this policy, grievance
means individual grievances and includes all matters, but excludes terms of appointment/
employment settled and agreed to prior to joining.
Thus, it is a mechanism, or set of procedures and processes, to be used as a means to address and
resolve issues and complaints related to project implementation. Provide rapid and due process in
resolving complaints. In this university there is no formal body for this; but any time any employee
or student can complain to the authority (it might be Provost, HOD, Dean or Vice-Chancellor) for
his grievance and these are entertained with full attention.

1.7 Alumni Association


(If an alumni association exists, provide information about its formation, membership and operating
process. Additionally, provide the appropriate link to the alumni association on the web.)
Alumni are the ambassador of any university. They took their knowledge from the university to
their hometowns and countries abroad and into their professional and social networks. They
uphold the images of the university to the job markets. They are the most loyal supporter of the
university. Today, alumni relations is an important part of an institution's advancement activities
such as fundraising, sharing expertize knowledge, career placement of the new graduate, etc.
Recently, KUET Alumni Association (KUETAA) has been formed and approved by the Syndicate
of KUET. The permission of registration under Companies Acts, 1994 is already obtained and the
registration process in under way. The First Advisory Committee of the Board of Trustee
consisting of 17 members has been formed.
The web link of KUET Alumni Association is https://portal.kuet.ac.bd/kuetaa/

1.8 Convocation
(List the dates of convocations and the number of students who have received a degree over the last three
calendar years.)
Convocation is the official graduation ceremony of both undergraduate and postgraduate students
of a university. In the developed countries convocation is held every year or even at the completion
academic activities of each batch. But in our country, it is not possible to organize the convocation
ceremony regularly. Rather it is organized in a non-sequential manner. The last convocation
ceremony of this university was held in April 04, 2018. The previous two convocations were held
in 2012 and 2006. The details are presented in the following table.

28
Date of convocation Total no. of students No. of students in the
(dd/mm/yyyy) who have received the degree program under evaluation who have received a degree
04-04-2018 2795 566
04-12-2012 2441 589
16-03-2006 820 181

29
Criterion 2: Financial and Physical Resources
2.1 Finance and budget
KUET is one of the public universities in Bangladesh and the lion share of its budget comes from
the Government of Bangladesh. The GoB budget has two components viz. Revenue budget and
Development budget. A very insignificant amount, comes from local sources like different fees
from the students, admission test, Contribution from the Consultancy, Research and Testing
Services, are added to main budget. Normally, the budget comes in four quarters.

2.1.1 Assets commensurate with revenue


Please complete the following Table for the last three calendar years.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Information (2018-19) (2019-20) (2020-21)

2.1.2 Adequacy of budget


(State the amount budgeted and the actual expenditure in BDT and percentage of the total amount for the
following sectors for each of the last three calendar years. In case of shared budgetary allocation and
expenditure, please indicate the following.
- Salary of the faculty members of the institution and of the program under evaluation

30
(Briefly discuss whether the budgeted amounts are adequate for the proper running of the program under
evaluation. If they are not, indicate the sectors where inadequacy exists. Identify what measures are being
taken to address the inadequacies.)
The allocated budget to the university (KUET) and thus to each department is not enough to run
the program smoothly. Most of the time the budget for laboratory equipment are very insufficient.
The day-to-day raw materials needed to conduct the labs are purchased with hardship. For good
research, modern and sophisticated equipment is essential. But in most of the time the program
has to wait for special allocation for purchasing a modern equipment. The research budget for UG
and PG students are also poor. Recently, the research budget for the faculties has been enhanced
which is a good indication.

2.1.3 Appropriateness of budgetary allocation


(Describe the budgetary planning process, the identification of priority areas and resource allocation.
Additionally, describe the general process of preparing and approving the budget, including feedback from
the stakeholders.)
In KUET, there is a Budget Working Committee headed by the Vice-Chancellor and other
members including the Deans, Heads of the Department, Director (Planning and development),
Comptroller, Office and Section Heads, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Engineer and Librarian. The
committee analyze the present need and achievement of the current fiscal year budget (i.e., the
revised budget) and then proposes the projected budget duly approved by the Syndicate for the
next fiscal year. The UGC approves the proposed budget after discussion with the Vice-Chancellor
and Comptroller of the university. The UGC allocates budget from the approved budget on a
quarterly basis. In actual cases, the budget which is proposed from the university authority is not
properly entertained. In reality, every year the budget is finalized by increasing it by some
percentage which does not reflect the actual need. In fact, the feedback from the stakeholders are
not considered properly.

2.2 Scholarships and financial aid for students


(State the total amount in BDT given to students of the institution as well as the students of the program
under consideration such as scholarships and financial aid during each of the last three academic years.
Express the amount as a percentage of the institution’s total income.)
The students of KUET get scholarships from various sources viz, Board scholarship based on their
HSC results, from different authorities like various banks (Dutch-Bangla Bank, Islami Bank
Bangladesh Ltd., Social Investment Banks etc.), from different trustees like Ramiz Uddin Mollah
Trust, Dr. Nasim Uddin Trust, KUET Ex-student Foundation etc.). Besides these scholarships
50% of the enrolled students in any class get Technical Education scholarship. The number of
students who gets Technical Education scholarship in the last three years are presented in the
following table.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Information
(2018-19) (2019-20) (2020-21)
Scholarships and financial aid for students (BDT) 4,733,560.00 5,495,120.00 5,497,400.00
Percentage of the institution’s total income 62% 64% 65%

In addition to this, the final year students get financial assistance for industrial study tour and a
lump sum amount for reimbursement of project/thesis cost.

31
2.3 Accommodations for male and female students
(State whether the institution provides accommodations for students. If so, give the total number of students
using institutional accommodation and provide a gender breakdown for each semester during the last three
calendar years.)
Initially the institution was fully residential when there were only three departments with 180
intakes, totaling about 720 students. But after upgrading of the institution to BIT Khulna and
finally upgraded and converted to Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET), the
number of departments has increased to 16 and also the number of intake students has increased
to 1065 which totaling about 5900. The number of halls has not been increased to the same rate.
At present there are six male student halls and one female student hall. Now, the accommodation
is not sufficient for all students. More than 1000 students are residing outside the campus. The
hall-wise student capacity is shown in following table.

Sl. No. Name of Hall Residential Seats No. of attached students

1. Fazlul Haque Hall 164 551


2. Lalan Shah Hall 163 479

(Provide details for the following including compliance with regulatory requirements where applicable.
- Firefighting policy, facility and rehearsal
- Emergency evacuation and assembly plan and rehearsal
- Campus safety and security measures in place
- Disabled access and mobility
- Safety measures in the labs)
At present, there is no regular program for firefighting activities. But in the academic buildings
and laboratories there are manual fire extinguishers. The laboratory staffs and office staffs are
trained to operate the devices. But at times, training programs or workshops are arranged for the
staffs and security personnel on firefighting activities, inviting experts from Fire Fighting and
Civil Defense. For security in the academic areas, residential areas and student halls, there are
regular and contract basis security persons. Normally, disabled and handicapped students are not
encouraged to get admission. At present, there is no disabled or mobility handicapped student or
employee in the university.

2.5 Sports and recreational facilities

(Provide details of the institution’s outdoor games and sports facilities.)


The university has a big playground where two football teams can play at a time. The office of the

to COVID-19 situation there is no such program in the last year.

32
(Provide details of the institution’s indoor games and recreational facilities.)
The office of the Director (Students Welfare) organizes different types of indoor tournaments,
such as badminton, table tennis, chess, cards competition etc. centrally among different halls on a
regular basis. The hall authority also organizes similar competitions among the borders of the halls
each year. Also, there are association in every department like “Mechanical Engineering
Association” in the program. Limited recreational activities are also organized by the departmental
associations. But due to COVID-19 situation there is no such program in the last year. There is
debating clubs in the university.
(Provide details of student clubs and their activities.)
There are several clubs formed by the UG students of the program like IMechE KUET Student

2.6 Placement Center


(State the designated activities and functions of the placement center if such a center exists. Additionally,
provide the organogram of the center and state the name and designation of each staff member along with
his or her qualifications.)
The objective of Career Counseling and Placement Centre is to help graduates to identify the most
appropriate career choice for them, considering their personality and interest and to assist them to
make a successful transition from university to real job market. The Career Counseling and
Placement cell also facilitates placement of its graduates through its corporate linkages.
Unfortunately, at present there is no official platform for placement or suggesting for carrier
development of the passing out graduates at the department or university level. But from the Office
of the Director (Students Welfare) and Department every year some of the Company
Representatives are invited for On-spot recruitment. In the proposed organogram for 2020-21 to
2029-30 one wing is proposed under the guidance of a Director called Director (Career-Placement
and Counselling) with sufficient personnel. One Clinical Psychologist and one Clinical
Psychiatrist will be there for counselling the students.

pedagogical and assessment tools, updating course content, and making decisions regarding quality
improvements to the program.
Attach copies of the minutes of relevant meetings held during the last three academic years in the Appendix
in support of this assertion.)
The role of the faculty members in developing and reviewing curriculum is inevitable. Curriculum
review is a continuous process in the department. However, there is no fixed interval for review
process but it is normally carried out within 3-5 years. There is no formal curriculum review
committee but it is formed need based before the review process. In 2018, the department has
decided to move from traditional education system to Outcome Based Education (OBE) system.
Accordingly, a 5-member committee was formed to coordinate this transformation process. The
committee distributed different tasks among the faculty members. For example,
1. Determining the vision and mission of the department in line with the vision and mission
of the university.
2. Determining the Program Educational Objectives (PEO) and Program Outcome (PO).
3. Developing/Establishing Course Outcome (CO), lesson plan etc.
Each and all faculty members of the department were involved in this process. Course outcomes,
lesson plans, etc., were developed to comply with the requirements of BAETE keeping the existing
course contents intact. As far as pedagogical and assessment tools are concerned, the faculty
members enjoy full autonomy in selecting pedagogical strategy but the assessment tools and
strategies are constrained by the UG academic ordinance of the university (Section 14). The
modified curriculum initiated by the department has to be recommended by the faculty Executive
Committee. The Academic Council is the final authority to approve it.
To adopt and maintain proper quality assurance in higher education, the academic leaders of the
university and the faculty members of the department are judicious and guided by the values of
quality assurance. At present, Institutional Quality Assurance Cell is formed in the university. It
is working in full swing. The department as well as IQAC are arranging training workshops on
pedagogy, outcome-based education, quality assurance, etc. We are hopeful for the future good
quality assurance system in the department.
Faculty meeting notice for coordinating and improving the courses of the program is given in
Annexure 3-B.

5.5 Improvements of laboratory facilities
(Describe the improvements that have been made in the laboratories for the program during the last three
academic years. Describe the plans currently under consideration for laboratory improvement.)
As the major share of the university fund is the grants available from the Government of
Bangladesh through the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh. Every year the budget is
proposed by the university authority in various sectors, but in the finalization of the budget in most
cases the actual requirements of the university are not entertained. In most of the cases, a little
amount is left for the development of labs. Every year a very small amount is allocated for each
program and thereby for each lab. At present, a development project is ongoing and a lump sum
amount of about Taka 20 crore is allocated for the different laboratories of the program. Hopefully
after getting this amount, the program will be benefited from this project.

5.6 Safety and health measures in the laboratories


(Describe the safety rules, procedures and practices that are in place in each of the laboratories used by the
program. Describe what provisions exist in each laboratory in case of accidents and health hazard
conditions.)
There is no written guideline or safety rule for working in the laboratories or workshops but some
traditions are followed particularly while working in the workshops. For example, wearing an
apron while working in a machine or in the foundry shop. Using goggles in the welding shops.
There is first-aid box in all laboratories and shops. Also, there are hand-operated fire extinguisher
in all labs and shops. In case of any accident, the concerned student, staff or officer is brought to
the university medical centre.

5.7 Internet and computing facilities


(List the Internet facilities available for students and faculty members. Required information includes total
bandwidth, number of computers with Internet connections, daily hours that the services are available and
areas covered by Wi-Fi.)
Like other departments, there are broadband internet connection facilities in the Mechanical
Engineering Department of KUET. Every faculty member, from Lecturer to Professor, are
provided with a desktop computer in their personal chamber with internet connection. The students
can use the Computer Lab of the department with internet facilities. The Heat Engine & Heat
Transfer lab and workshop buildings are also equipped with internet connection. Also, the whole
campus is equipped with Wi-Fi connection. The students can use the Wi-Fi connection anywhere
in the campus. The classrooms are also provided with computers with internet connection. There
are 4 (four) Wi-Fi routers in every floor of Mechanical Engineering building and they are available
24 hours a day. The bandwidth of internet is 10 Mbps.
(List the number of laboratories, including the number of computers that are accessible to students outside
of class/lab times. Identify the types of uses that are available to students. Computers in the library or in
any other common place may be considered if such facilities are available.)
There is a Computer Lab in the department of Mechanical Engineering which is equipped with 65
computers with most of them having internet connection. The students can use the lab during the
office hours. Also, there is another lab known as ‘Computational Fluid Dynamics Lab’ in the
department for research work with two workstations and 3 terminals. Mostly fourth year outgoing
students and postgraduate students have access to that lab for numerically computational projects.

assembly methods are essential. The engineer must be able to assess a complex situation to identify
the critical elements and develop a workable, cost-effective solution. All these require
considerable self-confidence, and the ability to work in and also lead a team. The laboratory
activities that the students have to involve in throughout the four-years of the undergraduate
program will ensure them a clear understanding of the relationship between theory and engineering
practice. A series of step-by-step activities are designed to develop specific skills and knowledge
relevant to the practice of the profession of Mechanical Engineering.
Information of the list of experiments conducted in each lab course for each Term of the last
academic year is provided below. It is to be noted that laboratory activities of the last three
academic years are almost identical to each consecutive year.

6.3 Final-year design project
(Describe the process followed in conducting the final-year design projects. Describe how the experience
in the final-year design project is based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework and
incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple design constraints.
Provide a list of the titles of final-year design projects completed in each semester of the last three academic
years, as per the following table.
The original final reports should be made available during the on-site visit for perusal by the members of
the evaluation team.
In case the program demonstrates culmination of POs through any method other than the Final-year design
project, describe the method in detail highlighting how the method used is based on the knowledge and
skills acquired in earlier coursework and how it incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple
design constraints.)
The students of this program undergo a design project or thesis in their final year of study. The
total credit-hour of this Project/Thesis is 4.5 continued across the last two Terms. The students
must complete the course working under the supervision of a faculty not below the rank of
Assistant Professor. The students can complete the course individually or in a group of two. In the
final-year design project, the students must work on complex engineering problems and solve the
problem which has a range of attributes complying with the Washington Accord. The complex
engineering activities performed by the students to accomplish the problem through experimental
and/or numerical techniques incorporating appropriate engineering standards.
The course-curriculum of the department is designed in such a way that the final-year design
project is the culmination of all other courses completed throughout the four years of study. In this
course, the students are expected to acquire an ability to analyze the engineering systems and to
synthesize new designs of practical interest. In order to make the students capable of doing so,
much of the knowledge and analytical skills of the students are developed systematically in other
courses prior to commencing this course. In addition, the students are subjected to complete the
‘Special Studies’ and ‘Mechanical Engineering Project’ courses in third year, to develop their
skills to be successful in research and design projects.
A list of final-year design projects completed in two Terms of final year of study for the last three
academic years is provided in Table 4:

(State the Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) and show their alignment with the
institutional/departmental mission, as per the following table.)
In compliance with the Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE)
of Bangladesh, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Khulna University of Engineering
& Technology, Bangladesh maintains a well-defined set of Program Educational Objectives, as
presented in Table 5, to ensure the national and international standard of our program and
graduates. These objectives are broad statements that describe the career and professional
accomplishments that the mechanical engineering degree program is preparing the graduates to
achieve a few years after graduation. The objectives are consistent with the needs and expectations
of the program constituencies, and are reviewed and updated regularly using an annual assessment
process.
The program education objectives of the Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program are to
produce graduates/alumni who:

105

PEO No. Program Education Objectives


Build up careers appropriately to become successful professionals at home and abroad
PEO1 in the various branches of Mechanical Engineering.
Apply appropriate scientific and engineering principles, theories, mathematical and
PEO2 computational methods to analyze and solve real life problems.
Deliver quality knowledge and skills to adapt to modern equipment and cutting-edge
PEO3 practices in their professional career.
Pursue continuous learning via professional developments, advanced trainings and
PEO4 workshops to contribute positively in national/global socio-economic development as
well as to enhance leadership and teamwork capabilities.
Serve as ambassadors in a respective engineering profession by demonstrating a high
PEO5 level of ethical and professional standard, which helps graduates becoming a good
human being and attached to the societal responsibilities.

The mission statements of the Department of Mechanical Engineering are mapped with the

7.3 Process for PEO establishment and measurement


7.3.1 PEO establishment
(Describe the process of establishing the PEOs. Highlight how the feedback of external stakeholders was
incorporated in developing the PEO.)
PEOs reveal the expected career and professional accomplishments that graduates will achieve
within few years of graduation. They also reflect the way they conduct their behavior and ethics,
and excel in their careers. Alumni will be able to meet the expectations set for them in the PEOs,
if students have the skills described in the POs at the time they graduate. These skills are acquired
mostly through the curriculum of the program. The process of establishing PEOs typically starts
with identifying major stakeholders, such as alumni, employers and the industrial advisory board.
PEOs are revised periodically to ensure that they continue to reflect current industrial trends. The
following step-by-step approach (Table 7) is generally taken to establish the PEOs.

The feedback of external stakeholders plays an important role for the outcome-based education,
and the feedback is typically incorporated in the process via survey questionnaire from external
stakeholders (see, step 3 of Table 1). In this regard, an online survey was conducted recently by
integrating the alumni (who graduated from three to seven years before, i.e. from academic years
2013-2014 to 2017-2018) and employers of different branches of mechanical engineering. About
168 graduates from the department of Mechanical Engineering, KUET and 53 employers were
participated in the survey. A set of 15 questions in relation to professional career, syllabus and
their skills is asked in the online survey. Among 15 questions, only two questions (Q2 and Q3)
are related to the feedback/suggestion of external stakeholders to improve the PEO and content of
syllabus. The rest 13 questions are organized so as to measure PEO, which will be discussed in
the ensuing section. The department identifies such feedback/suggestions of external stakeholders
and puts a sincere effort to address the important comments. An example of the process is shown
in the Table 8 for more clarity.

7.3.2 PEO measurement


(Describe the process of measuring the attainment of each PEO including rubrics. Provide evidence and
documents.)
An online questionnaire survey is used to analyze and measure the attainment level of each PEO.
The questionnaire was formulated by a sub-committee, consists of several faculty members,
formed by the Head of the Department. The questionnaire was set so as to have linked with PEO
and easily understandable to the stakeholder, with a five discrete scale (from strongly disagree to
strongly agree). Alumni who graduated in the academic years from 2013-2014 to 2017-2018 and
employers from different branches of mechanical engineering were invited. As mentioned above,
168 alumni and 53 employers responded to this survey. The survey was kept relatively short,
simple and straightforward to encourage a higher level of participation. Fifteen (15) questions
were asked on different aspects of five PEOs (see Appendix 7-A). Among the 15 questions, the
first question (Q1) is related to the branch and level of professional career, whereas Q2 and Q3
are related to feedback of the PEO and are explicitly explained in the section 7.3.1. The rest 12
questions (Q4-Q15) were asked to obtain different elements of the PEOs, with a scale of five levels
and the mapping of questions related to each PEO is shown in the Figure 2.

109
Figure 2: Mapping of survey questions to the PEOs.

Upon obtaining the survey response data after a pre-defined period of time, statistical analyses are
conducted on the data to quantify the response of each question and measure the level of attainment
of each PEO. As mentioned above, the first question (Q1) was mainly to identify the level and
variation of current professional positions within the area of mechanical engineering, and the
response of the question of shown in the Figure 3. The result shows that about 60% and 12%
graduates are working as professional engineer in private/government organizations and faculty
member at home or abroad, respectively, within few years of their graduation. Graduates are also
seen in other non-professional positions, such as post-graduate student at home or abroad, graduate
entrepreneurs and administrative jobs in government organization. A small percentage of
graduates are still preparing for Cadre services or professional engineering job in government
owned organizations. As such, PEO 1 may be considered to attain on a satisfactory level. Besides,
Q4 and Q5 are analyzed to quantify its measurement and level of attainment, which is discussed
next.

110
Figure 3: Distributions of different professional positions acquired by graduates within few years of
their graduation

Figure 4: Percentage of responses for questions Q4-Q15 at each scale from ‘Strongly disagree’ to
‘Strongly agree’.

Figure 3 shows the responses in percentage at different scales for questions Q4-Q15. A level of
satisfaction is calculated for each question (Q4-Q15) to consider all responses, where the 5-point
Likert scale is incorporated for this calculation as: 1 (Strongly disagree) 2 (Disagree), 3 (Neutral),
4 (Agree) and 5 (Strongly agree). The responses given in ‘Other’ options are only a few and they
are neglected to determine the level of satisfaction. Such nullification of small percentage is
believed to have no effect on the overall measure. The level of satisfaction is calculated as:
∑𝑖 𝑤𝑖 𝑥𝑖
Level of Satisfaction (LOS) = × 100
5𝑁

111
where, 𝑤𝑖 is the Likert scale value, and 𝑥𝑖 is the number of respondent in that scale and N is the
total number of respondents. Upon applying the above formula, the LOS for each question is
shown in the Table 9. It is worth noting here that the same process and formula is also used for
the responses from employers, and is also shown in the same table (Table 9). This verification
process helps eliminating any biasness of the responses from the alumni.

Table 9: Results of survey questionnaire in relation to the PEOs for both alumni and
employer. The numbers underneath the Likert scale values indicate the number of
respondents in each question for both alumni and employer.

Q15 2/0 5/3 25/8 86/30 50/12 81 79

Finally, measurement of PEO is done using questions mapped for each PEO (shown in the Figure
4) and the survey results presented in Table 9. In this case, the level of satisfaction of each question
for alumni is considered to be similar weight and a mean level of satisfaction (or level of
attainment) of each PEO is obtained by averaging the LOS of survey questions which are involved
in each PEO. The responses of the employers are used to verify the results obtained from the
responses from alumni. The PEO measurement and level of attainment is shown in Figure 5. The
result shows that all the PEOs are found to be satisfactory. However, further improvement of the
results are possible, particularly PEO1, PEO2 and PEO3 with appropriately planned continuous
quality improvement. The process of continuous quality improvement (CQI) is further discussed
in section 9.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering has adopted the graduate attributes of Washington
Accord as its Program Outcomes. The key features of the graduate attributes of the Washington
Accord have 12 elements which are summarized in Table 10. The elements are supported by a
Knowledge Profile consisting of eight elements, K1-K8, which is explicitly defined in Table 11.
The Washington Accord graduate attributes are generic to the education of professional engineers
in all engineering disciplines. They categorize what graduates should know, the skills they should
demonstrate and the attitudes they should possess. The graduate attributes have been refined over
more than a decade and in 2013 were adopted by the signatories as the exemplar (or reference
point) against which substantial equivalence of their own accreditation requirements are to be
assessed. In addition, the graduate attributes are intended to assist signatories and provisional
members to develop outcome-based accreditation criteria for use by their respective jurisdictions.

8.4 Assessment of COs


(Describe how the attainment of COs is assessed in each course, including the rubrics, where applicable.
The assessment processes, attainment criteria and scale, and expected level of attainment should be clearly
stated. Present a summarized assessment of the COs of the courses listed in the table of Section 8.2.2.
Evidence of CO assessments for the other courses offered by the department for the program in each
semester of the last calendar year should be included in the Annexure.)
Department of Mechanical Engineering, KUET had incorporated academic council approved a
number of assessment techniques, such as assignment, class test and term final examination.
Assessment of COs typically vary among different types of courses. For the attainment of COs in
each course different assessment processes and rubrics are followed. Questions of class tests and

146
term final examination in each course set very carefully in order to attain the respective course
outcomes. For the attainment of COs in each course a question moderation form is used by the
course teachers and the moderators where course teachers declare that the exam questions
addressing to COs which is further verified by the moderators. A template of question moderation
form with typical rubrics are given below:

10.2 Participation of the industry in academic updates


(Explain how industrial participation is ensured in the establishment, update and improvement of the
objectives, outcomes and curriculum to ensure that these aspects remain relevant to the industry. This
description should be correlated to the discussion in Section 7.3 of the SAR template.
Provide copies of documents in support of the given explanation.)
Academic Committee for Undergraduate (ACUG) is the responsible panel for the establishment,
update, and improvement of the objectives, outcomes, and curriculum of the program.
Industrialists and engineers from different sectors are the advisory members of this panel. The

163
objectives, outcomes, and curriculum of the program are regularly updated through ACUG by
their recommendations so that the students keep abreast of the latest industrial technologies. In
addition, the feedback from the employers are collected as part of the self-assessment every three
years which are used to review and update the curriculum.
The list of committee members of ACUG with industrial advisory members, the employer
feedback form and the data analysis report of employer feedback are given in Annexure 10-A.

10.3 Students’ opportunities to gain industrial experience


10.3.1 Internships
(State whether the students in the program are required to perform an industrial internship. If yes, describe
the nature and the duration of the internship. Explain how student performance and outcome achievements
during the internship are assessed.
Provide copies of documents that support the given explanation.)
Industrial internship is not mandatory for the students in the program. But during the inter-
semester leave, the department guides the students to perform an industrial internship for a few
weeks. The department provides financial aid and other official supports for the interested
students. Most of the students in the program complete fifteen days of internship from various
renowned industries in Bangladesh. Since the internship is not mandatory, student performance
and outcome achievements during the internship are not assessed.
Internship documents from the head of the departments and the documents from the industries
offering internship are given in Appendix 10-B.

10.3.2 Final-year design project


(State whether the final-year design projects are conducted with industry collaboration. If yes, provide
details regarding the industry’s involvement in selecting the project topic, supervising project activities, and
providing assessment.
Provide copies of documents that support the given explanation.
In case the program demonstrates culmination of POs through any method other than the Final-year design
project, describe how the selected method incorporates industry collaboration providing details. Provide
copies of documents that support the given explanation.)
Students in this program need to complete a third-year project (Course No. ME 3100 and ME
3200) and a final year Project/Thesis (Course No. ME 4000 credit 4.5).
In the final year project, students have the option to do a design project or a research thesis under
the direct supervision of faculty members within the department. Most of the time the project
supervisor maintains the communication with the industries to identify their problems and the
requirements. Then the project supervisor instructs the student to select a project or thesis based
on the industrial requirements. If required, the students sometimes visit various industries for
collecting the required data for their project or thesis. The assigned supervisor and the other expert
faculty members assess the outcomes of the project or thesis.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering has signed MoUs with industries in Bangladesh for
research collaboration through which students have access to the respective factories for
conducting their final year projects. Sometimes industries provide the list of the engineering
problems that need solving to the head of the department which then is distributed to the faculty
members within the department. The faculty members choose the projects based on their fields of
expertise and assign the project to the student for their final year project/thesis. In this case industry

164
personnel also acts as a co-supervisor of the student but they do not have any contribution to the
assessment.
MoU with Walton in given in Appendix 10-C.

10.3.3 Industry visits


(State whether the students in the program are required to visit companies within the industry. If yes, provide
details regarding the nature of such visits. Explain how student learning and outcome achievement as a
result of such visits are assessed. Provide copies of documents that support the given explanation.)
If required, the students in the program must visit companies within the industry with prior
permissions for their project or thesis. Before these industrial visits, detailed theoretical knowledge
about the related production system machinery, equipment, and instruments of the specified
industries have to be lectured by their respective thesis advisors.
There is an optional seven to ten days long industrial tour for the final year students supervised by
four faculty members of the department. The duration of this industrial tour is about seven to ten
days. The industrial tour mainly covers various factories relevant to mechanical engineering such
as power plants, cement factories, and automotive manufacturing industries. Every student of this
program is inspired to attend this industrial tour. As inspiration, every student is partially funded
by the university. Besides several mini industrial tours are arranged for the students by the
department within Khulna region to gain an insight of the industrial environment. There is no
assessment for the industrial visits because it is not mandatory.
Documents for industrial tours are given in Appendix 10-D.
