Outcome Based Education (OBE)

Vision

The vision of the civil engineering department is to produce excellent professionals, who will provide engineering solutions to infrastructure development and be able to manage environment leading to a sustainable socio-economic development.

Mission

The mission of the department is to educate students in a student-centered dynamic learning environment, to enhance their skills in line with the program outcomes, to provide advanced facility for conducting forward-looking inter and multi-disciplinary research to meet the challenges of 21st century and to motivate them toward life-long learning process.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The Department of Civil Engineering forms the foundation for professional and personal development of the graduates that are expected within few years after graduation. The goal of the department is encompassed by the following educational objectives:

PEO 1: The graduates excel in their engineering career in the public and private sectors or academia by applying the knowledge acquired in mathematical, computing and engineering principles and enhancing their skills.

PEO2: The graduates engage themselves toward lifelong learning and the pursuit of post graduate or other professional education including continuous professional development.

PEO 3: The graduates are engaged in design and analysis of civil engineering systems after considering safety, sustainability, economic and social impacts of engineering decisions.

PEO 4: The graduates demonstrates professionalism, ethics, and ability to work in inter and multi-disciplinary team and to adapt to the latest trends and technology.

Program Outcomes (POs) of B.Sc. in Civil Engineering Program

The department of Civil Engineering is pursuing a continuous effort in aligning its curriculum and the course learning outcomes with the criteria set by both the Washington Accord and ABET accreditation. The criteria are given below:

PO1. Engineering knowledge

An ability to apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

PO2. Problem analysis

An ability to identify, formulate, research and analyze complex engineering problems and reach substantiated conclusions using the principles of mathematics, the natural sciences and the engineering sciences.

PO3. Design/ development of solutions

An ability to 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 of cultural, societal and environmental concerns.

PO4. Investigation

An ability to conduct investigations of complex problems, considering experimental design, data analysis and interpretation and information synthesis to provide valid conclusions.

PO5. 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 their limitations.

PO6. 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.

PO7. Environment and Sustainability

An ability to understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate the knowledge of and need for sustainable development.

PO8. Ethics

An ability to apply ethical principles and commit to the professional ethics, responsibilities and the norms of the engineering practice.

PO9. Individual and Team work

An ability to function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader of diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings.

10. Communication

An ability to communicate effectively about complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large. Be able to comprehend and write effective reports, design documentation, make effective presentations and give and receive clear instructions.

PO11. Project Management & Finance

An ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s work as a team member or a leader to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.

12. Lifelong Learning

An ability to recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent, life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
