Outcome Based Education

Program Educational Objectives

Program educational objectives (PEOs) are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to achieve a few years after graduation. PEOs for B.Sc. Electronic Engineering are defined to meet the vision and mission of faculty of Engineering.

PEO-1:    Graduates will demonstrate an ability to exercise knowledge, skills, and personality traits to analyze and investigate the complex engineering problems for designing innovative solutions by research, and modern tools.

PEO-2:    Graduates will engage to achieve socio-economic development goals of Pakistan through sustainable, environment friendly, socially and ethically acceptable strategies.

PEO-3:    Graduates will exhibit leadership, planning, organizing, effective communication skills to pursue entrepreneur culture and higher education to cope with the challenges of rapidly changing engineering field.

• Program Learning Outcomes

The program learning outcomes (PLOs) describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills and attitude that the students acquire while progressing through the program. For all undergraduate engineering programs at UCET, we have adopted the following twelve PLOs as recommended by the PEC.

1. Engineering Knowledge:An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Problem Analysis:An ability to identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
3. Design/Development of Solutions:An ability to design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Investigation:An ability to investigate complex engineering problems in a methodical way including literature survey, design and conduct of experiments, analysis and interpretation of experimental data, and synthesis of information to derive valid conclusions.
5. Modern Tool Usage:An ability to 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.
6. The Engineer and Society:An ability to apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solution to complex engineering problems.
7. Environment and Sustainability:An ability to understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of and need for sustainable development.
8. Ethics:Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
9. Individual and Team Work:An ability to work effectively, as an individual or in a team, on multifaceted and /or multidisciplinary settings.
10. Communication:An ability to communicate effectively, orally as well as in writing, 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, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
11. Project Management:An ability to demonstrate management skills and apply engineering principles to one’s own work, as a member and/or leader in a team, to manage projects in a multidisciplinary environment.
12. Lifelong Learning:Ability to recognize importance of, and pursue lifelong learning in the broader context of innovation and technological developments.
