STUDENT OUTCOMES
The curriculum and syllabus for B.Tech programs (2013) conform to outcome based teaching learning process. In
general, ELEVEN STUDENT OUTCOMES (a-k) have been identified and the curriculum and syllabus have been
structured in such a way that each of the courses meets one or more of these outcomes. Student outcomes describe
what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge,
and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program. Further each course in the program spells
out clear instructional objectives which are mapped to the student outcomes.
The student outcomes are:
(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, formulate, and solve 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 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
(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
C-D-I-O Initiative
The CDIO Initiative (CDIO is a trademarked initialism for Conceive — Design — Implement — Operate) is an
innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers. The framework provides students
with an education stressing engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing
— Operating real-world systems and products. Throughout the world, CDIO Initiative collaborators have adopted
CDIO as the framework of their curricular planning and outcome-based assessment.
In the syllabus, every topic has been classified under one or more of C-D-I-O so that students and faculty alike are
clear about the scope of learning to take place under each one of the topics.
