Programme Objectives
PO1 Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of developmental and complex engineering problems. |
PO2 Identify, formulate, research literature and analyze developmental and complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences. |
PO3 Proffer solutions for developmental or complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate considerations for public health and safety, society and environmental considerations. |
PO4 Conduct Investigation into developmental or complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions
|
PO5
Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and ICT tools including prediction, modelling, and optimization to developmental and complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations
|
PO6 Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge including Humanities and Social Sciences to access societal, health, safety and legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice |
PO7 Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of and need for sustainable development
|
PO8 Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice including adherence to the COREN Engineers’ Codes of Conduct. |
PO9 Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings. |
PO10 Communicate effectively on developmental or 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.
|
PO11 Project management: demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management and financial principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects, and in multi-disciplinary environments.
|
PO12 Lifelong learning: recognize the need for, and have the preparations and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological and societal changes. |
Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) of the Department
It is expected that our graduates will achieve one or more of the following PEOs adopted by the department within the first three to five years of their graduation from our program:
- Generate practical solutions that meet the needs of industries as well as government at both local and international level and actively engage in multidisciplinary teams in implementing these solutions.
- Establish themselves in a diverse range of mechanical engineering practice and capable of translating engineering solutions into business opportunities.
- Demonstrate ethical responsibility through involvement with community and/or professional organization and/or contribute towards a sustainable society.
The PEOs are visibly displayed in the departmental office and published in the Departmental student handbook.

The PEOs are evaluated from the positive employer’s feedback we get from our graduates, which are done through interviews/interactions with employers and questionnaires. The department has also appointed an active alumni focal person and graduates/alumni data bases are updated on an ongoing basis. Our Alumni on different occasions also engage in interactive sessions with current staff/students of the department where they share their various career progressions and provide valuable insights for current students to stay focused and excel after graduation. These alumni feedbacks are taken into consideration when courses are reviewed.
