Essential competencies for engineering graduates to solve complex problems and contribute to society
The Program Outcomes define the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that engineering graduates should possess by the time of graduation. These outcomes prepare students to effectively contribute to the engineering profession and address complex challenges in a global context.
Apply knowledge across disciplines
Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, computing, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization as specified in WK1 to WK4 respectively to develop to the solution of complex engineering problems.
Identify and analyze complex problems
Identify, formulate, review research literature and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions with consideration for sustainable development.
Create innovative engineering solutions
Design creative solutions for complex engineering problems and design/develop systems/components/processes to meet identified needs with consideration for the public health and safety, whole-life cost, net zero carbon, culture, society and environment as required.
Research-based problem solving
Conduct investigations of complex engineering problems using research-based knowledge including design of experiments, modelling, analysis & interpretation of data to provide valid conclusions.
Apply modern tools and techniques
Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern engineering & IT tools, including prediction and modelling recognizing their limitations to solve complex engineering problems.
Consider societal and environmental impact
Analyze and evaluate societal and environmental aspects while solving complex engineering problems for its impact on sustainability with reference to economy, health, safety, legal framework, culture and environment.
Adhere to ethical principles and values
Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics, human values, diversity and inclusion; adhere to national & international laws.
Function effectively in teams
Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse/multi-disciplinary teams.
Communicate effectively and inclusively
Communicate effectively and inclusively within the engineering community and society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations considering cultural, language, and learning differences.
Apply management principles
Apply 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, and to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
