DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOS

To realize the vision and the mission, the objectives of the faculty as regard training of engineers is that engineering students should have broad understanding of the engineering profession before embarking on training on a particular field of engineering. This was affected by having virtually common courses for the faculty students at 100 and 200 levels.  In addition to this, the department is of the view that graduates of the department should be capable of demonstrating some level of proficiency in some aspects of the Electrical/Electronic Engineering profession. Hence the introduction of final year degree options in Power Systems, Electronics, and Control Engineering.

The Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) which will help in realization of the Vision and Mission of the Department are:

PEO 1: Preparation: transition to a successful professional career.

To prepare the students to excel in undergraduate programmes, in applied research, or in postgraduate programmes to succeed in industry/technical profession anywhere in the world through intensive teaching and learning.

PEO 2: Core Competence: development of the fundamental prerequisites.

To provide students with a solid theoretical foundation in mathematical, scientific and electronic and electrical engineering fundamentals required to solve engineering problems – thus generating core competence. This serves them lifelong in their professional domain as well as higher education.

PEO 3: Design Competence: aiding the students in the Research & Development competency

To inculcate a strong flavour of research activities among the students and impart them with good scientific and engineering depth and breadth of knowledge including proficiency in hardware languages, use of latest software tools, ability to apply engineering experience in designing and conducting experiments and analyze the significance of experimental data so as to comprehend, analyze, design and create novel products and provide solutions to the real life problems facing the society and humanity at large.

 PEO 4: Professionalism: developing lifelong and world class employability

To inculcate in students the finest professional attributes, ethics, a positive attitude, effective communication and presentation skills, ownership, responsibility and accountability – aptitude to work in multi-cultural/national and multi-disciplinary environment, develop adaptability to different situations, ability to work in teams, take independent decisions and  integrate engineering issues to broader social contexts.

PEO 5: Career Development: equipping the students to succeed in a variety of career options

To prepare the students for successful and productive career choices in both public and private sectors in the field of electrical and electronics, engineering (Computers, Electronics, Communications, Control & Instrumentation engineering, Electronic Device Fabrication, Energy and Power Systems, and Electrical machines) or other allied engineering or other fields. To also equip the students by imparting professional development courses and industrial trainings, preparing students to excel in various national level competitive examinations and providing encouragement to pursue higher studies or to become successful entrepreneurs in life.

PEO 6: Learning Environment: inculcate a lifelong learning culture

To provide students with an academic environment that ignites in one the spirit of excellence, develop the urge of discovery, creativity, inventiveness, leadership and a passion to be the best by providing state-of-the-art facility and an overall environment that fosters brilliance.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING PROGRAMME OUTCOMES (POs)

At the end of the programme, the first-degree graduates of the Department will be able to: 

PO1   Engineering Knowledge: Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, electronic and electrical engineering for solving engineering problems and modelling.

PO2   Problem analysis: Design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret experimental or collected data, simulate and fabricate electronic circuits and systems and make own projects utilizing latest software tools and techniques. They will also possess the ability to identify, formulate, research literature and analyze complex engineering problems to reach logical conclusions. 

PO3   Design / development of solutions: Design a system, component or process to meet the desired specifications, performance and capabilities; compatible with health, safety, legal, societal and environmental considerations. 

PO4   Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments in analyzing and interpreting data, and synthesizing the data to come to valid conclusion. 

PO5   Modern tool usage: Apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern attitudes, IT tools (hardware and software) including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities and research.

PO6   Engineer and Society: Understand the special duty they owe to protect the public’s health, safety and welfare by virtue of their professional status as engineers in the society; Understand ethics of life and professions and abide by them

PO7   Environment and sustainability: Understand and correctly interpret the impact of engineering solutions in global, societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate the knowledge of a need for sustainable development. 

PO8   Individual and Team-work: Articulate teamwork principles, work with a multi-disciplinary team, and appreciate the role of a leader, leadership principles, and attitudes conducive to effective professional practice of Electronic and Electrical Engineering.

PO9   Communication: Communicate and present effectively both orally and in writing, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations (using appropriate technology) and give and receive clear instructions. 

PO10 Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering finance and management principles as a member and leader in a team to manage projects in multi-disciplinary environments.
