GA4₂₄       Investigation: Conduct investigation of complex engineering 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.

GA5₂₄       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.

GA6₂₄       The Engineer and the World: Analyze and evaluate sustainable development impacts to the society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal framework, and the environment while solving complex engineering problems.

GA7₂₄       Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and norms of engineering practice and adhere to relevant national and international laws, Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion. 

GA8₂₄       Individual and Collaborative Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams in multi-disciplinary, face-to-face, remote and distributed settings.

GA9₂₄       Communication: Communicate effectively and inclusively on 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, and make effective presentations, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences.

GA10₂₄  Project Management & Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.

GA11₂₄  Lifelong Learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability for i) independent and life-long learning ii) adaptability to new and emerging technologies and iii) critical thinking in the broadest context of technological change.

These PLOs are also published on the Departmental Notice Board.

The PLOs are based upon the requirements of the PEOs. Therefore, the PLOs must be established in such a way that it achieves all the PEOs. The mapping of the PLOs with the PEOs in the Table below clearly shows the achievement of PEOs through PLOs.
