PROGRAM OUTCOMES (POs)
Engineering knowledge : Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an
PO1
engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering
PO2 problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and
engineering sciences.
Design/development of solutions : Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system
PO3 components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health
and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods
PO4 including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to
provide valid conclusions.
Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering
PO5 and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understa nding of
the limitations.
The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal,
PO6 health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional
engineering practice.
Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in
PO7 societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable
development.

PO8
engineering practice.
Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse
PO9
teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering
PO10 community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and
design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and
PO11 management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage
projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent
PO12
and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

COURSE OUTCOMES:
2. When you handle chemicals wear eye protection (chemical splash goggles or full face shield).
3. When you work with welding equipment you should use special gloves to protect your hands.
4. To protect clothing from chemical damage or other dirt, wear a lab apron or lab coat. Long hair should be tied
back to keep it from coming into contact with lab chemicals or flames.
5. In case of injury (cut, burn, fire etc.) notify the instructor immediately.
6. In case of a fire or imminently dangerous situation, notify everyone who may be affected immediately; be sure the
lab instructor is also notified.
7. If chemicals splash into someone's eyes act quickly and get them into the eye wash station, do not wait for the
instructor.
8. In case of a serious cut, stop blood flow using direct pressure using a clean towel, notify the lab instructor
immediately.
9. Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited in the laboratory at all times.
11. Except the scientific calculator, any other electronic devices are not permitted to use inside the Laboratory.
12. Any damage to any of the equipment/instrument/machine caused due to carelessness, the cost will be fully
recovered from the individual (or) group of students.
