2.1.3 Indicate the process employed for defining Pos. (5)
(Describe the process that periodically documents and demonstrates that the POs are defined in
Alignment with the graduate attributes prescribed by NBA.)
Program Outcomes are established through the consultation process with stake holders
keeping the Graduate Attributes defined by NBA as basis. Department Vision, Mission and
Program Educational Objectives are also kept in view. The professional society namely ACM
guidelines on curriculum and graduate outcomes are also considered in The detailed
establishment process is depicted in Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1: Process for defining POs
2.1.4. Indicate how the defined POs are aligned to Graduate Attributes prescribed by the NBA
IFET COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
The POs of the programme are well aligned with the Graduate Attributes prescribed by the NBA.
The correlation between POs (Programme outcomes described in Section 2.1.1) and Graduation
Attributes is prescribed in the table below:
Graduate Attributes prescribed by NBA:
A. Engineering Knowledge
B. Problem Analysis
C. Design and Development of Solutions
D. Investigation of Complex problems
E. Modern Tool Usage
F. Engineer and Society
G. Environment and Sustainability
H. Ethics
I. Individual and Team work
J. Communication
K. Life-Long Learning
L. Project Management and Finance
Table 2.2: Alignment of POs to Graduate Attributes
2.2.1. Illustrate how the Course Outcomes contribute to the PO
(Provide the correlation between the course outcomes and the programme outcomes. The strength of the correlation may also be indicated.)
The program outcomes are achieved through curriculum that offers a number of
mandatory courses as well as elective courses. Each course has defined course outcomes that are
mapped to the program outcomes and a set of performance criteria that are used to provide
quantitative measurement of how well course outcomes are achieved.
The correlation among program outcomes and course outcomes is shown in Table 2.4.
The course outcomes are thus directly and quantitatively assessed, and are tied to the program
outcomes as shown in the course syllabi. Therefore if the course outcomes are met, the program
outcomes are met.
The course outcomes of each core course are mapped to the Program Outcomes with a
level of emphasis being either strong contribution or moderate contribution. The level of
IFET COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
emphasis of a program outcome is determined by the weight used for assessing the outcome in
each course. The level of emphasis for an outcome is determined by the weight as follows:
When the course outcome weight age is < 50%, it will be given as moderate contribution
When the course outcome weight age is >50%, it will be given as strong contribution

For the Engineering students, Project experiences allow them to carry out in-depth study of engineering concepts, while emphasizing hands-on experiences and practical applications. Participating in projects strengthens the student’s resume, and fulfills the requirements of present day employers, who demand sound engineering skills in their employees. We conduct Project Expo every year where final year students present their projects. Among them, best two projects are chosen and prizes are awarded.

3. Rubrics
A rubric basically articulates the expectations for student performance. It is a set of criteria for
assessing student work or performance. Rubrics are particularly suited to learning outcomes that
are complex or not easily quantifiable for which there are no clear ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers or
which are not evaluated with standardized tests or surveys. Other than the above major direct
assessment tools, Rubrics are used to assess the attainment of POs which are described under the
respective Program Outcome assessment tool descriptions.

2.3.2 Indicate results of evaluation of each PO (25)
As described in section 2.3.2 the PO assessment process is conducted every year
by Accreditation Council. The step by step process of assessing Program Outcomes is
described below:-
The Course Instructor prepares and maintains the Direct Assessment Report of the
performance of every student in Embedded Questions that are used to assess the PO in
their respective course file.
The Course Instructor also collects and maintains the individual performance of every
student in the experiment corresponding to the PO in the course file
The final pass percentage of all the students in the subject related to the PO is also
collected by the Course Instructor.
The Course Instructor performs the student course end survey as described in the
previous section and maintains a report about it in the course file.
IFET COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
They submit a consolidated report of the above assessment results to the Accreditation
Council.
The Accreditation Council performs the Alumni Survey and Employer Survey every year
and consolidates the results.
The Accreditation Council consolidates both the Direct Assessments Reports and the
Indirect Assessment Results from the Course Instructors. The assessment results are
finally submitted to the Program Accreditation Committee for further process.
PO Achievement Evidence:
Initially the PO was defined based upon the Mission and Vision Statements, In the
academic year of 2008-09, by the Program Administrative Committee and was approved
by the Program Advisory Board and the Faculty of the department. The accreditation
unit surveyed the alumnus, employers and students in the year of 2009-10, 2010-11 and
2011-12 and was submitted to the Program Administrative Committee. The committee in
the month of May had a meeting and analyzed the assessment report. The collected
survey results and POs achievement levels and the evidences are described below:-
