AUTONOMOUS STATUS TO MBCET

APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University has notified the conferment of autonomous status to MBCET by UGC for a period of 10 years (2020-21 to 2029-30). Autonomy provides greater flexibility to the institution in improving the quality of education towards achieving academic excellence.

As an autonomous college, MBCET will have the freedom to

Determine and prescribe its own courses of study and syllabi, and restructure and redesign the courses to suit local needs
Offer student-centric courses including a wide range of electives with freedom in choice of courses
Regularly update the syllabus in accordance with the evolution of technology, trends in research and changing requirements of the industry
Evolve methods of assessment of students’ performance that is well integrated and aligned with the teaching and learning process
Conduct of examinations and notification of results in a timely manner
Promote healthy practices such as community service, extension activities and projects for the benefit of the society

Autonomy provides the opportunity for enhancement in the quality of education and reflects the efforts of the institution for the achievement of excellence in academic performances and self governance. The degree will be awarded to the students by APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, based on the evaluation and recommendation by the college. The name of the college will be mentioned in the degree certificates.

Mission

To mould quality Electrical Engineers, fostering creativity and innovation to address global issues.

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)

Programme Educational Objectives are the broad statements which describe in detail about the career and professional accomplishments after significant years of graduation, which the programme prepares the graduands to achieve.

Graduates will succeed as Professionals in Industry or as Entrepreneurs in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and related disciplines.
Graduates will be able to adapt to the advances in Technology by continuously acquiring knowledge and skills, with an urge for innovation.
Graduates will be socially committed individuals, exhibiting professional ethics in addressing technical and engineering challenges.

Knowledge and Attitude Profile (WK)

The Knowledge and Attitude Profile (WK) is a standardised framework used in Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and engineering accreditation (such as the Washington Accord and India's NBA) to define the specific technical knowledge, practical skills, and professional attitudes expected of graduates.

WK1: A systematic, theory-based understanding of the natural sciences applicable to the discipline and awareness of relevant social sciences.

WK2: Conceptually-based mathematics, numerical analysis, data analysis, statistics and formal aspects of computer and information science to support detailed analysis and modelling applicable to the discipline.

WK3: A systematic, theory-based formulation of engineering fundamentals required in the engineering discipline.

WK4: Engineering specialist knowledge that provides theoretical frameworks and bodies of knowledge for the accepted practice areas in the engineering discipline; much is at the forefront of the discipline.

WK5: Knowledge, including efficient resource use, environmental impacts, whole-life cost, reuse of resources, net zero carbon, and similar concepts, that supports engineering design and operations in a practice area.

WK6: Knowledge of engineering practice (technology) in the practice areas in the engineering discipline.

WK7: Knowledge of the role of engineering in society and identified issues in engineering practice in the discipline, such as the professional responsibility of an engineer to public safety and sustainable development.

WK8: Engagement with selected knowledge in the current research literature of the discipline, awareness of the power of critical thinking and creative approaches to evaluate emerging issues.

WK9: Ethics, inclusive behavior and conduct. Knowledge of professional ethics, responsibilities, and norms of engineering practice. Awareness of the need for diversity by reason of ethnicity, gender, age, physical ability etc. with mutual understanding and respect, and of inclusive attitudes.

Programme Outcomes (POs)

Programme Outcomes are the statements as stated by NBA that declare the knowledge, skills and attitudes the students should have at the end of a four year engineering programme in India.

Engineering graduates will be able to:

Engineering Knowledge: Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, computing, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization as specified in WK1 to WK4 respectively to develop to the solution of complex engineering problems.
Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions with consideration for sustainable development. (WK1 to WK4)
Design/Development of Solutions: Design creative solutions for complex engineering problems and design/develop systems/components/processes to meet identified needs with consideration for the public health and safety, whole-life cost, net zero carbon, culture, society and environment as required. (WK5)
Conduct Investigations of Complex Problems: Conduct investigations of complex engineering problems using research-based knowledge including design of experiments, modelling, analysis & interpretation of data to provide valid conclusions. (WK8).
Engineering Tool Usage: Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern engineering & IT tools, including prediction and modelling recognizing their limitations to solve complex engineering problems. (WK2 and WK6)
The Engineer and The World: Analyze and evaluate societal and environmental aspects while solving complex engineering problems for its impact on sustainability with reference to economy, health, safety, legal framework, culture and environment. (WK1, WK5, and WK7).
Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics, human values, diversity and inclusion; adhere to national & international laws. (WK9)
Individual and Collaborative Team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse/multi-disciplinary teams.
Communication: Communicate effectively and inclusively within the engineering community and society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations considering cultural, language, and learning differences.
Project Management and Finance: Apply knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, and to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
Life-Long Learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability for i) independent and life-long learning ii) adaptability to new and emerging technologies and iii) critical thinking in the broadest context of technological change. (WK8)
