Criterion X: Programme Outcomes and Assessment (100)

These Programme outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are

expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills,

attributes, and abilities that students acquire through the programme.

Of which a-k outcomes are been made mandatory by the NBA Accreditation

Committee and l is program specified which is formed by the department for achieving

specific goals of department.

(a) An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering,

(b) An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret

data,

(c) An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within

realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical,

health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability,

(d) An ability to function on multidisciplinary teams,

(e) An ability to identify, formulates, and solves engineering problems,

(f) An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility,

(g) An ability to communicate effectively,

(h) The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions

in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context,

(i) A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning,

(j) A knowledge of contemporary issues, and

(k) An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary

for engineering practice.

(l) PSPO: An ability to recognize, adapt and to apply the knowledge of

Relationship of Courses in the Curriculum with the Program Outcomes

The Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering curriculum has a good balance in all

the fields such as mathematics, basic sciences, general and specialized engineering science

relating to technical and professional aspects and environmental studies courses. The

curriculum is designed to cover all program outcomes in order to achieve the PEOs. Courses

of the curriculum provide, collectively, the means by which the students obtain the

background necessary to ensure that educational objectives can be achieved. Each course has

its own learning objectives that are stated in its syllabus. To keep track of how and where

program outcomes are addressed in the curriculum, a mapping between the curriculum and

program outcomes is made.

X-P.2 Assessment of Outcomes by External Stakeholders (30)

X-P.2.1 Documented process and assessment from Industries (10)

Our department collects feedback from the employers where majority of EIE students are

employed. Their reports on feedback were highly positive about our graduates technical skills

and there way of approaching the task and their solving ability.

We also accept their suggestions and try to take remedial actions whenever necessary.

From the employer surveys in which we ask the employers to rate the program outcomes based

on the performance of our students who are under their supervision, we analyze the survey

reports and the program outcomes which receive less marks will be considered for improvements

and special efforts are made to improve that program outcome.

Most of our program outcomes from the survey assessment are in range of satisfactory

and exemplary score of 3-4 except the program outcome communicate effectively which

secured low score in the range of 2-3 when compared with other outcomes.

Consequently, we are conducting Communication Development Classes for the final year

students in the summer so that they are better prepared.

X-P.2.2 Documented process and assessment from Alumni (10)

Our department collects feedback from the alumni regularly. Alumni were contacted

through different means such as their working organizations, personal contacts, Alumni meets

and others.

We ask them to assess our PEOs and how well they have satisfied the PEOs and POs.

Based on the alumni responses, passed out students are highly satisfied with their knowledge

gained from our department. Their suggestions are also taken into account and remedial steps

were taken whenever necessary to improve the program outcomes.

The assessment from alumni surveys indicates that most of our students feel they lack

exposure to industrial issues and they have suggested us to provide better exposure to industrial

problems and issues.

Consequently, we have arranged industrial visits for our students to various industries

and improve their exposure to real world issues.

We have longstanding relation with the professional bodies such as the IEEE, ISA and

ISTE.

IEEE has sponsored a national and international conference each and publishes our

papers in the IEEE explore. Our students were then able to improve their contemporary

knowledge of recent trends in electronics and Instrumentation engineering field, improve

their standard in communication, recognition of the need for lifelong learning.

Our students and faculties have received funds from DST for doing their UG projects for

the past three academic years.

Our faculties have received fund from AICTE for conducting national seminar,

International conference and Faculty Development Programme.

In addition, most of our students and faculties are the members of ISTE, IEEE, ISA

We have conducted an National Conference on XX

X-P.3 Effectivity and Efficiency of the Mechanism/Procedure for Continuous Review

and Outcome Measurements (20)

We have an Advisory Council which comprises of industry experts, a Professor

from another institution, our principal, dean, administrative officer, HOD, senior

professors, assistant professors, alumni and senior students.

The advisory council meets periodically to discuss the assessment of PEOs and

POs after taking into consideration inputs from various sources such as, alumni survey,

employer survey, exit survey, student feedback and marks scored by the students in

various tests and examinations.

The effectiveness of PEOs is also discussed and necessary changes are also

made to the PEOs. For instance, in the last advisory council new PEOs for our

department are re-formed.
