Graduate Attributes (NBA)

All graduates of any higher education programs are expected to have identified technical/ functional, generic, and managerial competencies. The competencies that a graduate of a program should have are called Graduate Attributes. The Attributes a graduating engineer should have are generally identified by the Accreditation Agency for Engineering and Technical Education, namely, the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) in India. The Graduate Attributes of Engineering Programs as identified by NBA are

Programme Outcomes for Mechanical Engineering:

After completion of the course, B. E Mechanical Engineering graduates will have the ability to:

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

PO 2: 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.

PO 3: 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.

PO 4: 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.

PO 5: 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.

PO 6: 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.

PO 7: 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.

PO 8: Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.

PO 9: Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.

PO 10: 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.

PO 11: 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.

PO 12: 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.

The Program Specific Outcomes of Under Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering are as follows:

PSO1: Domain Knowledge: An ability to understand and apply the fundamental and advanced concepts in mechanical engineering in various domains, like materials, design, manufacturing and thermal engineering etc., in the design, development and implementation of complex products and systems .

PSO2: Software Technologies: To adopt towards emerging software information and communication technologies in mechanical engineering to innovate ideas and solutions to societal problems.

What's Blooms Taxonomy?

Bloom’s Taxonomy is a hierarchical ordering of cognitive skills that can, among countless other uses, help teachers teach and students learn.

The Bloom’s Taxonomy is to be followed in curriculum development, courseware development, planning and delivery of contents, Assessment, Mapping, Data Analysis and CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement)
