professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate the
knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
PO8 Ethics (Affective): Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics,
responsibilities and the norms of the engineering practice.
PO9 Individual Work and Teamwork (Psychomotor, Affective): Function effectively as an
individual and as a member or leader of diverse teams as well as in multidisciplinary settings.
PO10 Communication (Psychomotor, Affective): Communicate effectively about complex
engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large. Be able to
comprehend and write effective reports, design documentation, make effective presentations and
give and receive clear instructions.
PO11 Project Management and Finance (Cognitive, Psychomotor): Demonstrate knowledge and
understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work
as a member or a leader of a team to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
PO12 Life-Long Learning (Affective, Psychomotor): Recognize the need for and have the
preparation and ability to engage in independent, life-long learning in the broadest context of
technological change.
