Describe the Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) (2) (List and articulate the program educational objectives of the program under accreditation) Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) of the UG in IT are established through a consultation process as described in Sec.1.2.4 and these address the following broad aspects.

What our graduates could do best How our graduates would approach problem solving, using what skills What values our graduates should have

Program Educational Objectives of the UG Information Technology are:

1.2.2. State how and where the PEOs are published and disseminated (2) (Describe in which media (e.g. websites, curricula books) the PEOs are published and how these are disseminated to stakeholders) The PEOs are published at

Department website http://vrsiddhartha.ac.in/it/

College website http://vrsiddhartha.ac.in/

Curricula books

Notice boards Additionally, the dissemination of PEOs to all the stakeholders of the program is done through student awareness programs, student induction programs and faculty meetings.

1.2.3. List Stakeholders of the Program (1) (List stakeholders of the program under consideration for accreditation and articulate their relevance) Our program has identified the following constituencies as Student, Alumni, Industry, Faculty, Employer and Parents.

PEO 3. Exhibit professionalism, ethical attitude, communication skills, team work in their

profession and adapt to current trends by engaging in life long learning

PEO 2. Analyze real life problems, design computing systems appropriate to its solutions

that are technically sound, economically feasible and socially acceptable

PEO 1. Excel in professional career and/or higher education by acquiring knowledge in

mathematical, computing and engineering principles


Student

Most prominent role in the program.

Students feedback is considered to introduce innovative teaching and learning methodologies

Students input will help in program to introduce the elective courses to meet current trends.

Faculty

Involve a vital role in working of the program.

Faculty involves in various committees to check the consistency of the program.

Faculty provides inputs for designing the program, PEOs/POs establishment, Course Objectives and assessment.

Alumni

Focus group because they are a measure of the long-term success of our program.

Alumni feedback helps in curriculum design to meet recent trends in engineering.

Recollect their existence during their program study and advise the department with necessary inputs in point of student career.

Employer

Represents the major end users of our graduates. Gives higher focus to the program on future data to create awareness with

current industry Gives inputs which overcome the gap between program and industry.

Parents

Expects their wards in good professional career and higher education.

1.2.4. State the process for establishing PEOs (5) (Describe the process that periodically documents and demonstrates that the PEOs are based on the needs of the programs various stakeholders.) The Program Educational Objectives are established through a consultation process involving the core constituents such as: Students, Alumni, Industry, Faculty and Employer. The PEOs are established through the following process steps:


Step 1: Vision and Mission of the Department are taken as a basis to interact with

various stake holders and graduate attributes defined by NBA are also kept in view.

Step 2: Program Coordinator consults the key constituents and collects their views and

submits the views to Program Assessment Committee.

Step 3: Program Assessment Committee summarizes the collected views and expresses

its opinion on the views and forwards the same to Department Advisory Board.

Step 4: Department Advisory Board deliberates on the views expressed by the Program

Assessment Committee and formulate the accepted views based on which PEOs are to be

established

Figure 1.2 illustrates the process for establishing PEOs.

Figure 1.2: Process for establishing PEOs

1.2.5. Establish consistency of PEOs with Mission (5) (Describe how the Programme Educational Objectives are consistent with the Mission of the department.) Table 1.1 indicates the consistency of PEOs with the Mission of the department.

Table 1.1: PEOs consistency with Mission of the Department

The mission of the program is to offer high quality UG and PG education such that the students prosper in their career or pursue the higher education to further enhance the knowledge. The first program educational objective of the UG program aims at attaining this by providing the sound fundamental knowledge. The second program educational objective strongly addresses the mission component of positive contribution to the society. The graduates of the program are expected to provide computing solutions which are economically feasible to real world problems to carter the needs of society. The third program educational objective what values our graduates will have positively aims at contributing to the society.


Furthermore, social, scientific, and technological development is mentioned in the department mission, which is referred to by PEO 3 through considering social and ethical dimensions.

1.3. Attainment of Program Educational Objectives (30) 1.3.1. Justify the contributions of the Programme Curriculum towards attainment

of PEOs (15) (Describe the broad curricular components that contribute towards the attainment of the Program Educational Objectives.) The curriculum is one of the main tools to prepare students in achieving PEOs. Therefore, the relevance of the courses in the program specific curriculum to PEO needs be quantified in order to establish their level of support to PEO. The description of IT Program broad curricular components relevant to PEOs is shown in Table 1.2 and Figure 1.3. The curriculum mapping with PEOs of the program is shown in Table 1.3.

Observaiion: In program curriculum, nearly 90% of the courses address PEO 1 and 60% of

courses address PEO 2 and 23% of courses contributing towards PEO 3. However, to attain

PEO2 and PEO 3, the department provides the necessary educational eco system through

guest lectures, industry visits, workshops and professional associations.
