B.Tech in Civil Engineering

The Program Outcomes (POs) are statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do upon graduating from the program. These relate to the skills, knowledge, analytical ability, attitude, and behavior that students acquire throughout the program. The POs define the professional profile of an engineering graduate and indicate what students can do based on subject-wise knowledge gained during their studies. The following are the twelve POs defined by NBA, in line with the Graduate Attributes as outlined by the Washington Accord:

1. Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, review 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: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs, with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, and cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Conduct Investigations of Complex Problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods, including the design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions for complex problems that:
   • Cannot be solved by straightforward application of knowledge, theories, and techniques applicable to the engineering discipline (as opposed to textbook problems solvable using basic engineering theories).
   • May not have a unique solution (e.g., design problems that may have multiple possible solutions).
   • Require consideration of appropriate constraints/requirements not explicitly given in the problem statement (e.g., cost, power requirements, durability, product life).
   • Need to be defined (modeled) within an appropriate mathematical framework.
   • Often require the use of modern computational concepts and tools (e.g., in the design of an antenna or a DSP filter).
5. Modern 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 their limitations.
6. The Engineer and Society: Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues, and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice.
7. Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate knowledge of, and the need for, sustainable development.
8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities, and norms of the engineering practice.
9. Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
10. Communication: Communicate effectively 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 and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles, and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
12. Life-long Learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and lifelong learning in the broadest context of technological change.
