a certain set of knowledge, skills and behavioral traits to some acceptable
minimum level. The BAETE specifically requires that students acquire the
following graduate attributes.
[PO1] Problem analysis: Identify,
formulate, research the literature and analyze complex engineering
problems and reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of
mathematics, the natural sciences and the engineering sciences.
[PO2] The engineer and society: Apply
reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to asses
societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent
responsibilities relevant to
professional engineering practice.
[PO3] Ethics: Apply
ethical principles and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities and the
norms of the engineering practice.
[PO4] Individual work and teamwork:
Function effectively as an individual and as a member
or leader of diverse teams as well as in multidisciplinary settings.
[PO5] Communication:
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.
[PO6] Project management and

and management principles and apply these to one’s own work as a member or a
leader of a team to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
