B.E Civil Engineering - Programme Educational Objectives

In the present context, higher learning institutions offering engineering programme in India have evolved into adopting an outcome based education. The performance of any programme is evaluated based on the outcome of the graduates rather than outputs. The Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)formulated for the Civil Engineering programme are listed below;

“Graduates of Civil Engineering Programme after a few years of Graduation will acquire their ability to:”

Technical knowledge:  Possess a mastery of fundamental knowledge, problem solving skills, engineering experimental abilities and design capabilities for advancing in their carrier. 

Professionalism:  Practice the civil engineering profession and follow professional and ethical standards in executing civil engineering and multi-disciplinary projects on a global level.

Self-Learning:  Cope up with advanced technological social, economic, environmental changes through life-long learning with effective team work, communication skill and leadership qualities.

Programme Outcomes (POs)

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

Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.

Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.

Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.

The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.

Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.

Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.

Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.

Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

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 and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

Programme Specific Outcomes

PSO 1: Graduates will be able to participate in civil engineering profession and follow professional and ethical standards in executing civil engineering and multi-disciplinary projects on a global level.

PSO 2: Graduates will be able to cope with advanced technological social, economic, environmental changes through life-long learning with effective team work, communication skills and leadership qualities.

PSO 3Graduates will be able to possess a mastery of fundamental knowledge, problem solving skills, engineering experimental abilities and design capabilities for advancing in their career.
