    PEO4. To equip graduates with integrity and ethical values so that they become responsible Engineers.

    1.2.2. State how and where the PEOs are published and disseminated (2)

    We communicate our PEOs to the stakeholders especially employers and Alumni through electronic media and meetings.

    Our PEOs are published on our departmental page on the university website, www.amu.ac.in.

    Our PEOs are printed and pasted in department office, department library and laboratories.

    1.2.3. List the stakeholders of the programme (1)

    1. Faculty: The faculty members are involved on regular basis in the

    assessment processes.

    2. Students: The students are interested in whether the program adequately

    prepares them for future employment.

    3. Alumni: This group is interested as the rating of the department is

    affected by PEOs as these prepare better graduates.

    4. Employers (government, industry and universities): Employers

    satisfaction with our students education provides measure of the program success. Their satisfaction translates to employment opportunities for our

    students.

    5. Parents: They are interested to get their wards better education and

    employability.

    1.2.4. State the process for establishing the PEOs (5)

    The Framework of defining PEOs

    The Programme Educational Objectives (PEO) are actually the broad statements of the

    objectives for which the programme is run. In the first place, these objectives should help

    in fulfilling the mission of the department. Secondly, the students graduating from the

    programme are expected to lead a fruitful and meaningful life in the society by being

    useful in its progressive development. Thus it is necessary that these objectives should be

    in consonance, to the extent possible, with the current research scenario in the relevant

    field of engineering and with the needs of the relevant industry. The research scenario is

    best judged by the faculty members through research publications. The industry needs are

    gauged through the feedback, mostly verbal, received in the Training and Placement

    Office (TPO) when companies come for campus placement. In addition, the industry

    scenario has a specific relationship with research and hence faculty is somewhat

  • 4

    competent to assess the needs of industry. Moreover, the alumni who have gone to

    industry or to institutes of high reputation are able to reflect whether the objectives are

    adequate.

    STEP 1. The needs of the Nation and society are identified through scientific publications,

    industry interaction and media.

    STEP 2. Taking the above into consideration, the PEOs are established by the Coordination Committee of the department.

    STEP 3. The PEOs are communicated to the alumni and their suggestions are obtained.

    STEP 4. The PEOs are communicated to all the faculty members of the department and their feedback is obtained.

    .

    STEP 5. The PEOs are then put to the Board of Studies of the department for final approval.

    Mathematics:

    Absolutely essential for foundation in engineering, science and technology (PEO 1)

    Used as an important tool to address engineering challenges (PEO 2);

    Essential for professional development and graduate studies (PEO 3);

    Basic Science:

    Absolutely essential for foundation (PEO 1); somewhat required for PEO 2 & 3.

    Engineering Science:

    Absolutely essential for foundation, professional development and studies (PEO 1 & 3)

    Somewhat required for PEO 2.

    Humanities:

    Heavily required for addressing social challenges (PEO 2); somewhat required for professional

    development and studies in business (PEO 3); and heavily required for becoming responsible

    engineers with integrity (PEO 4)

    Professional Core (Analytic):

    There are some courses in the professional core that are analytical in nature. These are essential

    for a sound foundation in engineering. (PEO 1); these are also essential for graduate and

    professional studies (PEO 3); these are also required for addressing engineering challenges (PEO

    2)

    Professional Core (Practice):

    There are certain courses in the professional core that relate to engineering practice. Courses

    including the project using modern tools and discussing the engineering solutions are included in

    this category. These are strongly related to PEO 2 & 3 and moderately related to PEO 4.

    Professional Core (Design):

    These are design oriented courses using both science and technology. These are lightly related to

    PEO 1, and strongly related to PEO 2 & 3. These are also moderately related to PEO 4 as design

    alternatives are in fact required for ethical engineering solutions.

    Departmental Electives:

    These are courses that are inclined towards a particular area. Students choose the courses in this

    category to enhance their knowledge in a particular area of their liking. Since there are all kinds of

    courses in this category but they are not foundation courses, they may be considered to relate

    moderately to PEO 2, 3 & 4.

    Open Electives:

    These are broad-based courses and generally give the students a multidisciplinary feel often

    related to a different discipline. These are highly related to PEO 2 as a broad based knowledge is

    required for addressing social challenges. The relationship with PEO 3 & 4 is low.

    1.3.2. Explain how administrative system helps in ensuring the achievement of the PEOs (15)

    There are three committees responsible for management and administration of the

    Department which helps in ensuring the achievements of the PEOs

    1. Programme Coordination Committee: This committee of 3-6 faculty members takes care of the students registration of courses, the scrutiny of award lists, tabulation of results,

    dissemination of relevant information to students.

    2. Curriculum Development Committee: This committee of faculty members looks after the development of

    curriculum based on various inputs from stakeholders.

    3. Advisement/Mentors Committee: This committee of large number of faculty members of moderate

    seniority takes care of advisement of courses to students according to

    their capability and career choice. The advisor also takes care of

    students ethical grooming. Thus, advisors act as mentors.

    4. Board of Studies: This committee of all faculty members of the department discusses and

    ensures the relevance of the curriculum and syllabi with the mission

    and PEOs. It also analyzes the problems faced by students and

    members of the coordination committee in running the programme and

    takes appropriate action on its own or recommends to the Faculty.

    All major decisions concerning the Department are taken by the Board of Studies constituted

    as per the University Act.

    Besides the above committees, the department handles the administration of academic

    activities through the following four sections, each with its section in-charge.

    1. Design Section 2. Fluid Mechanics Section 3. Industrial & Production Section 4. Thermal Section

    In addition there are the following individual positions manned by faculty members that

    handle specific tasks.

    Achievement of PEOs are calculated using the tools shown in 1.4.1. The direct assessment tool

    which uses class performance as an assessment method which is mapped with the POs. The

    correlation of PEO and PO is then used to calculate attainment of PEOs (2.1.5). In the Indirect

    assessment, we will be using Placement Record, Higher Studies Record, GATE Score, and

    Alumni Survey. All the Indirect assessment tools have equal weightage for its calculations. In the

    overall attainment, a weight of 0.7 is given to direct assessment while 0.3 is assigned to indirect

    assessment.

    1.5. Indicate how the PEOs have been redefined in the past (10)

    The PEOs are being formulated for the first time though other assessment processes

    have been refined in the past by regular up-gradation of curriculum based on

    feedback from alumni, employer, invited distinguished faculty, alignment with

    national level examinations and existing curriculum in the reputed institutes.

    For the current students, data will be collected at the end of their programme for assessing the PEOs. The SWOT analysis will be made on the collected data for

    redefining/ reviewing the PEOs.

    Based on the feedback from the outgoing alumni, industry/academic personnel and also the market needs, the curriculum will be continuously updated for attaining

    PEOs.

    Delivery

    Methods

    Attainment of POs Justification

    Lecturing a, b, c, e, f, g, j, k

    Information or teach students about a particular subject.

    Lectures are used to convey critical information, history, background,

    theories and equations.

    Lectures are used to relate engineering practice with ethical issues.

    Lectures are also used to expose the students to contemporary issues and the

    need for life-long learning in the

    appropriate societal context.

    In academia as a quick, cheap and

  • 33

    efficient way of introducing large

    numbers of students to the above.

    Presentations

    (Still and

    Video)

    e, f, g, i,

    Presentations are given to illustrate ideas and concepts in intricate graphics

    form.

    Presentations give information with data relating to an issue.

    Videos effectively communicate the working of actual engineering solutions

    and their impact.

    Presentations are always followed by discussions.

    Experimental

    Laboratory

    Work

    c, d, e, h, k

    Laboratory work demonstrates how theory can be verified by experiments

    through interpretation of results.

    Experiments are normally done in groups so students learn to work in

    teams.

    Experiments give a realization that hardware keeps changing thus a life-

    long learning is necessary and that

    apparatus can be converted into

    products/hardware that is used in real

    engineering practice.

    Group Tasks

    (Projects) a, b, c, d, e,f, h, i, j, k

    Projects are taken in groups of 2-3 students.

    Students are guided by faculty members.

    Projects are taken on a large variety of problems and many a times of a

    multidisciplinary nature.

    Projects are both theoretical and experimental.

    Projects reports are written and presented with open discussion.

    Handouts a, b, c, e, f, g, j, k

    Handouts are given to supplement lectures.

    Handouts contain information for wider understanding of the philosophy of a

    subject and how it relates to

    contemporary world.

    Handouts give information on the history of engineering and its impact on

    society.

    Direct University

    Examination

    a, b, c, d, e,

    f, g, i, j Same as tests but with a much larger scope

    and covering wider syllabus.

    Direct Assignments a, b, c, e, i, j

    Assignments carry a bigger problem nearer to reality that cannot be done in the classroom.

    Such problems normally require the

    knowledge of mathematics, science and

    engineering and all other related aspects.

    Direct Presentations a, b, c, e, f,

    g, i, j, k

    Since presentations carry questions and answers that usually lead to wider

    discussions, they give to the students ideas

    related to contemporary issues, and a

    realization that learning is a continuous

    process.

    Direct Tests a, b, e, f, i, Tests basically test the understanding and use

    of scientific and engineering techniques for

    problem solving.

    Direct Seminar

    Lectures

    (Colloquium)

    e, f, g, i, j, k Here students collect knowledge related to a

    topic and present it in a technical report and

    oral lecture comprehensively.

    Direct Quiz a, b, e, j Practice of extempore recall of knowledge and

    ability of quick analysis, many a times

    without preparation.

    All the theory and practical courses are directly related to one or more than one POs. Performance in

    various courses reflects the extent of achievement of POs.

    The undergraduate program of the college is based on continuous evaluation system and credit based.

    Evaluation is conducted by the subject teacher throughout the semester. Each subject contains three

    main components for evaluation:

    Course Work

    In this component, home assignments, tutorials, problem solving, group discussions,

    quiz, etc are given and evaluated regularly.

    Mid Semester Examination

    Mid semester examination is conducted within 7-8 weeks after the start of teaching

    of each semester.

    End semester Examination

    End semester examination is conducted at the end of semester.

  • 35

    Evaluation of impact of the each course is observed through grading system. After the end

    semester examination, evaluation of each subject is carried out and finally grading is awarded

    as per given marking range.

    2.2.4. Indicate the extent to which the laboratory and project course work are contributing towards attainment of the POs (10)

    The curriculum has approximately the same weightage (Theory 66%, Practical 34%) as

    required for the attainment of POs. The project work is spanned over one year and, although

    one course, it carries more credits compared to both theory and practical courses. The

    Colloquium also provides a platform for attainment of a number of POs. This illustrated in the

    table below:

    Course Type Major Contribution to PO

    Theory Courses a, b, c, e, f, g, i, j, k

    Practical Courses a, c, d, e, h, i, k

    Project a, b, c, d, e,f, h, i, j, k

    As an engineer is supposed to design and implement system or part of it. Therefore the role of

    laboratory training is of prime importance for a UG engineering program. Almost all the core

    subjects are supported with laboratory to enhance the learning skills by doing hands on

    training hardware. This is demonstrated through the table below. Some of the laboratory basic

    courses do not have an associated theory, while multiple theory course are supported by a

    laboratory course. The corresponding pi chart demonstrates this behavior:

    Every final year student undertakes project which is spread over a period of two semesters. The

    student selects a topic of his/her interest and then performs literature survey, formulates the problem

    formally and then Implements it. At the end of both semester a report is submitted by the students.

    Progress is continuously monitored by supervisor and an advisory committee. Midterm evaluation is

    done based on presentation and midterm report submission. Final evolution is based on presentation,

    report submitted, examination and demonstration. The ethical values are imbibed through proper

    referencing. The project is evaluated by Project Coordination committee which consists of a

    chairmans nominee (subject expert within the department), supervisor and an expert from outside the

    college apart from B. Tech project coordinator. All the POs are thus satisfied. A list of good and

    average projects is given below:

    2.3. Evaluation of the attainment of the Programme Outcomes (125)

  • 39

    2.3.1. Describe assessment tools and processes used for assessing the attainment of each PO (25)

    Framework of Attainment

    These tools can be divided into two categories

    Direct Assessment and

    Indirect Assessment

    The tools such as tests, assignments, examinations etc. are taken on the questions that relate to

    specific course outcomes in each course. Presentations and seminars are aimed towards wider scope

    of the subject including its impact on society and environment as a whole. The questions at the

    presentations/seminars make the scope even wider and relate with the course and programme

    outcomes such as (f), (g), (h), (i) and give the student a feel that things are almost never complete,

    thus the need for continuous independent life-long learning is emphasized. The above elements

    together result in a grade in each course. The grade A, B, C and D are pass grades, which indicate the

    attainment of the programme outcome related to that course. Thus the grades in courses along with a

    mapping of course outcomes and programme outcomes will result in a measure of the direct

    attainment of each programme outcome in the form of a percentage.

    Another element included in the assessment of attainment of programme outcomes is the opinion of

    exiting graduates about the attainment of each programme outcome. This survey is taken near the end

    of the winter semester of the final year. Besides, a survey on the attainment of each programme

    outcome is also taken from the recent alumni, employers and performance in tests such as GATE,

    GRE which gives us an idea about the strength, weakness of each PO, thus providing a basis for

    revision of POs. They all contribute equally towards indirect attainment of POs.

    Overall Attainment of POs:

    Both direct and indirect assessment tools are used for evaluation of attainment of POs. For the overall

    attainment, 70% & 30% weightage are given to direct and indirect assessment respectively for this

    report. Details of the procedure adopted is given below:

    Direct Assessment Tools

    The undergraduate program of the department is credit based with continuous evaluation system.

    Evaluation is conducted by the subject teacher throughout the semester. Each subject contains three

    main components for evaluation:

    Course Work

    o Theory Courses: In this component, home assignments, tutorials, problem solving,

    group discussions, quiz, etc are given and evaluated regularly.

    o Mid Semester Examination: Mid semester examination is conducted within 7-8 weeks

    after the start of teaching of each semester. The syllabus of the exam conducted covers

    around 30-50 % of the total course content.

    o End semester Examination: End semester examination is conducted at the end of

    semester. Complete syllabus is covered in this examination. Major Weightage of marks

    is given to this component.

    o Practical Courses: In these courses, continues evaluation is done through viva-voce,

    presentation, report submission and laboratory quiz.

  • 40

    The weight distribution of components are given in the following table:

    After the end semester examination, combined evaluation of each subject is carried out and

    finally grading is awarded as per given

    marking range.

    All the theory and practical courses are directly related to one or more than one POs.

    Performance in various courses reflects the extent of achievement of POs.

    Attainment of POs

    Evaluation of attainment of POs for Direct Assessment Tools is carried out as follows;

    For each course, two groups are created for attainment of course outcomes, i.e. PASS

    (for grades A, B, C, D) & FAIL (for grades E, F, I).

    For PASS category, 100 % CO achievement is considered whereas for FAIL

    category, 0 % CO achievement is considered.

    Since all the COs is mapped with POs. Therefore calculated CO achievements are

    used to evaluate the degree of attainment of POs. An arithmetic average value is used for

    this calculation.
