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.
Design/Development of Solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and
PO 3 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.
Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering
PO 7 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
PO 8 of the engineering practice.
Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in
PO 9 diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the
PO 10 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
PO 11 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
PO 12 independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
