Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
Understand research problem formulation.
Analyze research related information
Follow research ethics
Understand that today’s world is controlled by Computer, Information Technology, but
tomorrow world will be ruled by ideas, concept, and creativity.
Understanding that when IPR would take such important place in growth of individuals &
nation, it is needless to emphasis the need of information about Intellectual Property Right to
be promoted among students in general & engineering in particular.
Understand that IPR protection provides an incentive to inventors for further research work
and investment in R & D, which leads to creation of new and better products, and in turn brings
about, economic growth and social benefits.
