 (1) Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of
mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an
engineering specialization to the solution of complex
engineering problems.

Program (2) Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, research the

literature and analyze complex engineering problems and
reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of

Outcomes mathematics, the natural sciences and the engineering

sciences.

(3) Design/development of solutions: Design solutions

for complex engineering problems (Prototype
Development) and design system components or processes
that meet the specified needs with appropriate
consideration for public health and safety as well as
cultural, societal and environmental concerns.
 (4) Investigation: Conduct investigations
(Experiment. Data and Analysis) of complex
problems, considering design of experiments,
analysis and interpretation of data and synthesis of
information to provide valid conclusions.

Program (5) Modern tool usage: Create, select and apply

appropriate techniques, resources and modern
engineering and IT tools including prediction
Outcomes and modeling to complex engineering activities
with an understanding of the limitations.

(6) The engineer and society: Apply reasoning

informed by contextual knowledge to assess
societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues
and the consequent responsibilities relevant to
professional engineering practice.
 (7) Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of
professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental
contexts and demonstrate the knowledge of and need for
sustainable development.

(8) Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional

ethics, responsibilities and the norms of the engineering practice.

Program
Outcomes (9) Individual work and teamwork: Function effectively as an
individual and as a member or leader of diverse teams as well as in
multidisciplinary settings.

(10) Communication: 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.
 (k) Project management and finance: 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.

Program (l) Life-long learning: Recognize the need for and

have the preparation and ability to engage in

Outcomes independent, life-long learning in the broadest context

of technological change.

In addition to incorporating the above-listed POs, the

educational institution may include additional
outcomes in its learning programs.
