Vision: Futuristic statement that the institution / department would

like to achieve over a long period of time

Create industry ready graduates engineers for the present

need of software industry

Mission statements are essentially the means to achieve the vision

Offer a well-balanced curriculum, instruction and practical experience to
produce skill graduates with leadership and managerial quality for modern
software industry.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe

the career and professional accomplishments that the program is
preparing the graduates to achieve.

 All Pos need to be adequately addressed through the selection of core

courses, elective/advance courses, lab courses, project, seminar etc

 If assessment is in alignment with COs the performance of the students

indicates the CO attainment

 Attainment of CO indicate the attainment of PO

 These attainment measurements provide the basis for continuous
