1.2.4. State the process for establishing the PEOs (5)


The Framework of defining PEOs
The Programme Educational Objectives (PEO) are actually the broad statements of the
objectives for which the programme is run. In the first place, these objectives should help
in fulfilling the mission of the department. Secondly, the students graduating from the
programme are expected to lead a fruitful and meaningful life in the society by being
useful in its progressive development. Thus it is necessary that these objectives should be
in consonance, to the extent possible, with the current research scenario in the relevant
field of engineering and with the needs of the relevant industry. The research scenario is
best judged by the faculty members through research publications. The industry needs are
gauged through the feedback, mostly verbal, received in the Training and Placement
Office (TPO) when companies come for campus placement. In addition, the industry
scenario has a specific relationship with research and hence faculty is somewhat
3

competent to assess the needs of industry. Moreover, the alumni who have gone to
industry or to institutes of high reputation are able to reflect whether the objectives are
adequate.
STEP 1. The needs of the Nation and society are identified through scientific publications,
industry interaction and media.
STEP 2. Taking the above into consideration, the PEOs are established by the Coordination
Committee of the department.
STEP 3. The PEOs are communicated to the alumni and their suggestions are obtained.
STEP 4. The PEOs are communicated to all the faculty members of the department and their
feedback is obtained.
.
STEP 5. The PEOs are then put to the Board of Studies of the department for final approval.
Needs of Nation and society are
identified through scientific
publications, industry interaction
and media

Educational Objectives (30)


1.3.1. Justify the academic factors involved in achievement of the PEOs (15)
The following broad curricular components relate to different PEOs in the ways as described
below:
5

Mathematics:
Absolutely essential for foundation in engineering, science and technology (PEO 1)
Used as an important tool to address engineering challenges (PEO 2);
Essential for professional development and graduate studies (PEO 3);
Basic Science:

Absolutely essential for foundation (PEO 1); somewhat required for PEO 2 & 3.
Engineering Science:
Absolutely essential for foundation, professional development and studies (PEO 1 & 3)
Somewhat required for PEO 2.
Humanities:
Heavily required for addressing social challenges (PEO 2); somewhat required for professional
development and studies in business (PEO 3); and heavily required for becoming responsible
engineers with integrity (PEO 4)
Professional Core (Analytic):
There are some courses in the professional core that are analytical in nature. These are essential
for a sound foundation in engineering. (PEO 1); these are also essential for graduate and
professional studies (PEO 3); these are also required for addressing engineering challenges (PEO
2)
Professional Core (Practice):
There are certain courses in the professional core that relate to engineering practice. Courses
including the project using modern tools and discussing the engineering solutions are included in
this category. These are strongly related to PEO 2 & 3 and moderately related to PEO 4.
Professional Core (Design):
These are design oriented courses using both science and technology. These are lightly related to
PEO 1, and strongly related to PEO 2 & 3. These are also moderately related to PEO 4 as design
alternatives are in fact required for ethical engineering solutions.
Departmental Electives:
These are courses that are inclined towards a particular area. Students choose the courses in this
category to enhance their knowledge in a particular area of their liking. Since there are all kinds of
courses in this category but they are not foundation courses, they may be considered to relate
moderately to PEO 2, 3 & 4.
6

Open Electives:
These are broad-based courses and generally give the students a multidisciplinary feel often
related to a different discipline. These are highly related to PEO 2 as a broad based knowledge is
required for addressing social challenges. The relationship with PEO 3 & 4 is low.

1.5. Indicate how the PEOs have been redefined in the past (10)

The PEOs are being formulated for the first time though other assessment processes
have been refined in the past by regular up-gradation of curriculum based on
feedback from alumni, employer, invited distinguished faculty, alignment with
national level examinations and existing curriculum in the reputed institutes.
For the current students, data will be collected at the end of their programme for
assessing the PEOs. The SWOT analysis will be made on the collected data for
redefining/ reviewing the PEOs.
Based on the feedback from the outgoing alumni, industry/academic personnel and
also the market needs, the curriculum will be continuously updated for attaining
PEOs.

efficient way of introducing large


numbers of students to the above.
Presentations are given to illustrate
ideas and concepts in intricate graphics
form.
Presentations give information with
data relating to an issue.
Videos effectively communicate the
working of actual engineering solutions
and their impact.
Presentations are always followed by
discussions.
Laboratory work demonstrates how
theory can be verified by experiments
through interpretation of results.
Experiments are normally done in
groups so students learn to work in
teams.
Experiments give a realization that
hardware keeps changing thus a lifelong learning is necessary and that
apparatus can be converted into
products/hardware that is used in real
engineering practice.
Projects are taken in groups of 2-3
students.
Students are guided by faculty
members.
Projects are taken on a large variety of
problems and many a times of a
multidisciplinary nature.
Projects are both theoretical and
experimental.
Projects reports are written and
presented with open discussion.
Handouts are given to supplement
lectures.
Handouts contain information for wider
understanding of the philosophy of a
subject and how it relates to
contemporary world.
Handouts give information on the
history of engineering and its impact on
society.

Explanation
Same as tests but with a much larger scope
and covering wider syllabus.
Assignments carry a bigger problem nearer to
reality that cannot be done in the classroom.
Such problems normally require the
knowledge of mathematics, science and
engineering and all other related aspects.
Since presentations carry questions and
answers that usually lead to wider
discussions, they give to the students ideas
related to contemporary issues, and a
realization that learning is a continuous
process.
Tests basically test the understanding and use
of scientific and engineering techniques for
problem solving.
Here students collect knowledge related to a
topic and present it in a technical report and
oral lecture comprehensively.
Practice of extempore recall of knowledge and
ability of quick analysis, many a times
without preparation.

All the theory and practical courses are directly related to one or more than one POs. Performance in
various courses reflects the extent of achievement of POs.
The undergraduate program of the college is based on continuous evaluation system and credit based.
Evaluation is conducted by the subject teacher throughout the semester. Each subject contains three
main components for evaluation:

Course Work
In this component, home assignments, tutorials, problem solving, group discussions,
quiz, etc are given and evaluated regularly.

Mid Semester Examination


Mid semester examination is conducted within 7-8 weeks after the start of teaching
of each semester.

End semester Examination


End semester examination is conducted at the end of semester.

Evaluation of impact of the each course is observed through grading system. After the end
semester examination, evaluation of each subject is carried out and finally grading is awarded
as per given marking range.

2.2.4. Indicate the extent to which the laboratory and project course work are contributing
towards attainment of the POs (10)
The curriculum has approximately the same weightage (Theory 66%, Practical 34%) as
required for the attainment of POs. The project work is spanned over one year and, although
one course, it carries more credits compared to both theory and practical courses. The
Colloquium also provides a platform for attainment of a number of POs. This illustrated in the
table below:

As an engineer is supposed to design and implement system or part of it. Therefore the role of
laboratory training is of prime importance for a UG engineering program. Almost all the core
subjects are supported with laboratory to enhance the learning skills by doing hands on
training hardware. This is demonstrated through the table below. Some of the laboratory basic
courses do not have an associated theory, while multiple theory course are supported by a
laboratory course. The corresponding pi chart demonstrates this behavior:

Every final year student undertakes project which is spread over a period of two semesters. The
student selects a topic of his/her interest and then performs literature survey, formulates the problem
formally and then Implements it. At the end of both semester a report is submitted by the students.
Progress is continuously monitored by supervisor and an advisory committee. Midterm evaluation is
done based on presentation and midterm report submission. Final evolution is based on presentation,
report submitted, examination and demonstration. The ethical values are imbibed through proper
referencing. The project is evaluated by Project Coordination committee which consists of a
chairmans nominee (subject expert within the department), supervisor and an expert from outside the
college apart from B. Tech project coordinator. All the POs are thus satisfied. A list of good and
average projects is given below:

2.3. Evaluation of the attainment of the Programme Outcomes (125)


38

2.3.1. Describe assessment tools and processes used for assessing the attainment of each PO
(25)
Framework of Attainment

These tools can be divided into two categories


Direct Assessment and
Indirect Assessment
The tools such as tests, assignments, examinations etc. are taken on the questions that relate to
specific course outcomes in each course. Presentations and seminars are aimed towards wider scope
of the subject including its impact on society and environment as a whole. The questions at the
presentations/seminars make the scope even wider and relate with the course and programme
outcomes such as (f), (g), (h), (i) and give the student a feel that things are almost never complete,
thus the need for continuous independent life-long learning is emphasized. The above elements
together result in a grade in each course. The grade A, B, C and D are pass grades, which indicate the
attainment of the programme outcome related to that course. Thus the grades in courses along with a
mapping of course outcomes and programme outcomes will result in a measure of the direct
attainment of each programme outcome in the form of a percentage.
Another element included in the assessment of attainment of programme outcomes is the opinion of
exiting graduates about the attainment of each programme outcome. This survey is taken near the end
of the winter semester of the final year. Besides, a survey on the attainment of each programme
outcome is also taken from the recent alumni, employers and performance in tests such as GATE,
GRE which gives us an idea about the strength, weakness of each PO, thus providing a basis for
revision of POs. They all contribute equally towards indirect attainment of POs.
Overall Attainment of POs:
Both direct and indirect assessment tools are used for evaluation of attainment of POs. For the overall
attainment, 70% & 30% weightage are given to direct and indirect assessment respectively for this
report. Details of the procedure adopted is given below:

Direct Assessment Tools


The undergraduate program of the department is credit based with continuous evaluation system.
Evaluation is conducted by the subject teacher throughout the semester. Each subject contains three
main components for evaluation:
Course Work
o Theory Courses: In this component, home assignments, tutorials, problem solving,
group discussions, quiz, etc are given and evaluated regularly.
o Mid Semester Examination: Mid semester examination is conducted within 7-8 weeks
after the start of teaching of each semester. The syllabus of the exam conducted covers
around 30-50 % of the total course content.
o End semester Examination: End semester examination is conducted at the end of
semester. Complete syllabus is covered in this examination. Major Weightage of marks
is given to this component.
o Practical Courses: In these courses, continues evaluation is done through viva-voce,
presentation, report submission and laboratory quiz.

Attainment of POs
Evaluation of attainment of POs for Direct Assessment Tools is carried out as follows;

For each course, two groups are created for attainment of course outcomes, i.e. PASS
(for grades A, B, C, D) & FAIL (for grades E, F, I).

For PASS category, 100 % CO achievement is considered whereas for FAIL


category, 0 % CO achievement is considered.

Since all the COs is mapped with POs. Therefore calculated CO achievements are
used to evaluate the degree of attainment of POs. An arithmetic average value is used for
this calculation.

Indirect Assessment Tools


Course Outcome Feedback: After the end of every semester, feedback is taken for
individual subject with reference to their course outcomes. (This feedback is not taken as
course outcomes are prepared first time)
Graduate Exit Feedback: In the last semester i.e. 8th semester, feedback is taken by the
student of last year. Achievement of POs and graduate attributes (GA) are taken as criteria in
the feedback.
Alumni Feedback: Alumni, particularly who has graduated within the 3-4 years of current
academic year, feedback is taken with reference to the achievement of POs.
Industrial Feedback: Students who has undergone vocational/summer training and
internship in the industries as well as who got the jobs in the industries. Feedback is taken
from the industries for the performance of students. (This feedback is not yet taken). A
verbal feedback is taken from industry persons when our faculty meets them at any
conference or when they come to our institute for giving lectures or training.
Internationally/ Nationally Normed Examination: In this component, various
examinations (national and international level) like GATE, NET, CAT, GRE, IELTS,
TOEFL are taken in to consideration for students performance and evaluation.

attainment of the POs)

Based on the evaluation and review of the attainment of POs, modification will be
attempted in the programme curriculum aspects such as increase or decrease in the
components of theory, practical, project work, communication skills courses and elective
courses. In addition, attempt will be made to introduce new courses, labs, experiments,
exercises for project work, etc on the basis of external interaction with the industry and
academia at seminar or conference.

2.4.2. Indicate how results of


assessment (10)

evaluation used for improvement of course delivery and

(Articulate with rationale the curricular delivery and assessment improvements brought in after
the review of the attainment of the POs)

Based on the evaluation of the attainment of POs and along with the results and analysis
of the student feedback about each lecture and course, the methods of course delivery and
assessment method will be reviewed. New methods will be evolved, in consultation with
faculty and thus ensuring the improvement in the course delivery. The assessment
methods will also be reviewed such as increase or decrease in the assignments, talks,
presentations, quizzes, etc. Novel assessment methods may be evolved once the results of
evaluation after few years/batches are available.

2.4.3. State the process used for revising/redefining the POs (15)
(Articulate with rationale how the results of the evaluation of the POs have been used to
review/redefine the POs in line with the Graduate Attributes of the NBA.)

This is the first ever systemic attempt to articulate the POs, mostly with participation of
stake holders on board (faculty and select Alumni from reputed organizations). However,
based on the results of such evaluation and based on the feedback from the exiting
graduates, we will examine the relevance of the existing POs and, if felt necessary, based
on the review and supplemented by the needs of the nation and industry as well, we may
modify the POs to some extent.

3.1.3. Justify how the programme curriculum satisfies the program specific criteria
(10)
The ASME describes following as the Program Criteria for Mechanical Engineering.
The curriculum must require students to apply principles of engineering, basic science,
and mathematics (including multivariate calculus and differential equations); to model,
analyze, design, and realize physical systems, components or processes; and prepare
students to work professionally in both thermal and mechanical systems areas.
Our curriculum with broad components of Basic Science, Engineering Science & Arts,
Departmental Core, Departmental Electives, Humanities & Management, and Open
Electives fully satisfies the above criteria.
Specifically the Program Curriculum contains compulsory courses that fulfill the needs
specified by the components described by the Program Specific Criteria of ASME as
given below.
Basic Science
Applied Physics (AP111), Applied Chemistry (AC111), Applied Physics Laboratory
(AP194), Applied Chemistry Laboratory (AC194)
Mathematics
Mathematics-I (AM111), Mathematics-II (AM112), Higher Mathematics (AM231),
Numerical Methods & Optimization (AM232)

(ME194), Experimental Methods & Analysis (ME220), Electrical Technology (EE204),
Electrical Technology Lab. (EE297), Control Engineering (EE305)
Modeling, Analysis, Design, and Realization of Mechanical and Thermal Systems
The courses given above in basic science, mathematics, and engineering science & arts
are used to analyze, design and realize systems. Modeling of mechanical and thermal
systems is part of almost all courses that deal with analysis and design as no analysis or
design can be done without modeling. All compulsory courses taken together give the
ability to the students to model, analyze, design, and realize mechanical, thermal, thermofluid, and manufacturing systems. Although most of the courses in the curriculum deal
with all four aspects, a loose division may be done based on the primary emphasis in the
course.

An Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering program is geared towards imparting basic knowledge of


Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass transfer, Properties of materials and Manufacturing
techniques. Therefore, the basic principles, analysis and design methodologies of various
engineering systems like transportation systems, power generation / energy conversion systems,
environment control systems (for comfort, safety etc) and manufacturing systems belong to the
domain of Mechanical Engineering. To conform to the above core aspects of an UG Mechanical
Engg. program, our undergraduate students are imparted basic knowledge / training through
compulsory courses in Basic and Applied thermodynamics, Applied Mechanics, Mechanics of
Solids, Fluid Mechanics, Energy Conversion systems, Heat and Mass Transfer, Material Science and
Manufacturing Technology. In order to impart training in the analysis and design methods,
compulsory courses of applied nature like Applied thermodynamics, I.C Engines, Kinematics and
Design of Machines, Machinery Dynamics, Machine Design practice, Fluid Machinery and
Mechanical Vibrations are also included in the curriculum. Ideas and concepts related to
optimization of industrial processes, production planning and control, process control and quality
control are imparted through compulsory course on Industrial Engineering.
Experiments play a vital role towards building a good understanding of the theoretical
concepts and also to test any innovative idea. The students are exposed to basic experimental skills
in measurement and data analysis / interpretation through various lab courses in virtually all the core
areas like Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Kinematics and Stress Analysis, Manufacturing
processes and Manufacturing technology, Heat and Mass Transfer, Energy Conversion systems etc.
A compulsory course on Experimental Methods and Analysis provides the students the necessary
background knowledge of designing the experiments and statistical tools necessary for data analysis
and interpretation.
In order to keep pace with the rapid developments in the design techniques and computer
based tools for mechanical engineering practice, the students are also exposed to computer assisted
52

drafting, computer-aided design concepts through courses like CAD and Computer Graphics.
Elective courses on FEM and CFD provide training to the students in areas of advanced simulation
techniques and exposure to commercial software like ABAQUS and ANSYS-FLUENT. In the wake
of technological development there is a growing concern for the adverse impact of technological
development on our environment. The students are made aware of various aspects of air pollution
and its control through elective courses on the subject.
Effective communication plays a vital role in the efficient functioning of an individual or a
team on a small scale and the entire organization on the larger scale. As an exercise towards
development of communication skills (written as well as oral), students are required to register for a
compulsory course titled Colloquium in which they have to give oral presentations and submit
brief reports on various topics identified for them. Economics and management plays a pivotal role
in the success of any engineering project. Students are made aware of the key concepts and analysis
methods in these important areas in a compulsory course on Economics and Management.

3.4. Industry interaction/internship (10)


(Give the details of industry involvement in the programme such as industry-attached laboratories
and partial delivery of courses and internship opportunities for students)

The department invites experts from industry for invited lectures that the students and
staff attend. The lectures result in lively discussion thus imparting current state of the art
knowledge to students and staff. A list of some of the lectures held since last two years

3.5. Curriculum Development (15)


3.5.1. State the process for designing the programme curriculum (5)
(Describe the process that periodically documents and demonstrates how the programme
curriculum is evolved considering the PEOs and the POs)

The curriculum is designed by the Curriculum Development Committee (CDC) of


the department after exhaustive discussion with the teaching faculty. The following
points are kept as guidelines for the entire curriculum design process:
Policy made by Faculty of Engineering and Technology.
Consideration of existing curriculum of reputed institutes in India and abroad.
Model AICTE Curriculum
Expertise and resources available in the department.
Their recommendation is considered and approved by the BOS (board of studies) of
the department. The approved curriculum is send to Faculty of Engineering and
then to the University Academic Council for their final endorsement.
The faculty in the department is loosely divided into 4 groups, namely Design group,
Fluid Mechanics Group, Industrial & Production group, and Thermal group. These
groups discuss the portions of the curriculum specifically related to them and come up
with recommendations. Such recommendations are then discussed in a coordination
committee headed by the Chairman of the department. The coordinated recommendations
are placed in the Board of Studies meeting, which finally approves the curriculum after
adding general and elective courses. Similar procedure is used for changes in syllabi of
various courses. Syllabi changes are done more often than curricular changes.

3.5.2. Illustrate the measures and processes used to improve courses and
curriculum
(10)
(Articulate the process involved in identifying the requirements for improvements in courses and
curriculum and provide the evidence of continuous improvement of courses and curriculum)

Same procedure, as mentioned above in 3.5.1, is followed for improvement of curriculum


and courses. The basis for the improvement comes primarily from the international
research scenario in various disciplines of mechanical engineering. This input is given by
the faculty members, many of whom are involved in high quality research work. In
addition the needs of the industry obtained through feedback from discussions held with
the experts from industry and discussion with the employers who come for placement at
the TPO is also taken into consideration.

3.6. Course Syllabi (5)


(Include, in appendix, a syllabus for each course used. Syllabi format should be consistent and
shouldnt exceed two pages.)
The syllabi format may include:
Department, course number, and title of course
Designation as a required or elective course
Pre-requisites
Contact hours and type of course (lecture, tutorial, seminar, project etc.,)
