Programme Educational Objectives (PEO's)
The educational objectives of a programme are the statements that describe the expected achievements of graduates within first few years of their graduation from the programme. The programme objectives, may be guided by global and local needs, vision of the Institution, long term goals etc. For defining the program objectives the faculty members of the programme must continuously work with local employers, industry and RD advisors, and the alumni. The objectives of a programme can be broadly defined on five counts:
- Preparation: To prepare students to excel in postgraduate programmes or to succeed in industry / technical profession through global, rigorous education.
- Core Competence: To provide students with a solid foundation in mathematical, scientific and engineering fundamentals required to solve engineering problems and also to pursue higher studies.
- Breadth: To train students with good scientific and engineering breadth so as to comprehend, analyse, design, and create novel products and solutions for the real life problems.
- Professionalism: To inculcate in students professional and ethical attitude, effective communication skills, teamwork skills, multidisciplinary approach, and an ability to relate engineering issues to broader social context.
- Learning Environment: To provide student with an academic environment aware of excellence, leadership, written ethical codes and guidelines, and the life-long learning needed for a successful professional career.
Within above five broad categories, each programme may define its own objectives appropriate for the specific discipline.
