Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) has provided twelve graduate attributes, which an engineering graduate must possess. To streamline with PEC requirements, the Department of Electrical Engineering has approved and adopted these PLOs. The attainment of each PLO is critically assessed and ensured through both direct and indirect methods. Our aim is to inculcate each B.Sc. Electrical Engineering graduate with the attributes given below:

Description of Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
PLO-1 Engineering Knowledge An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
PLO-2 Problem Analysis An ability to identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences
PLO-3 Design/ Development of Solutions An ability to design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations
PLO-4 Investigation An ability to investigate complex engineering problems in a methodical way including literature survey, design and conduct of experiments, analysis and interpretation of experimental data, and synthesis of information to derive valid conclusions
PLO-5 Modern Tool Usage An ability to create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.
PLO-6 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 and solution to complex engineering problems.
PLO-7 Environment and Sustainability An ability to understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of and need for sustainable development.
PLO-8 Ethics Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
PLO-9 Individual and Team Work An ability to work effectively, as an individual or in a team, on multifaceted and /or multidisciplinary settings.
PLO-10 Communication An ability to communicate effectively, orally as well as in writing, on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
PLO-11 Project Management An ability to demonstrate management skills and apply engineering principles to one’s own work, as a member and/or leader in a team, to manage projects in a multidisciplinary environment.
PLO-12 Lifelong Learning An ability to recognize the importance of and pursue lifelong learning in the broader context of innovation and technological developments.

Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Model of Department of Electrical Engineering

A Continual Quality Improvement process is in place to review PEOs, PLOs and CLOs for the Department of Electrical Engineering.

OBE BASED COMMITTEES:

There are three major committees to implement the OBE system, as per PEC guidelines, based on the KPIs, as recommendation by the concerned Departmental Council. These committees shall be headed by Director CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement). Director CQI and members of the three committees will be approved by the competent authority on the recommendation of Dean Faculty of Engineering and Technology.

(a) Undergraduate Committee (UGC) 

The committee consists of three faculty members headed by a senior faculty member. The committee is responsible for the following functions:

  1. Collect OBE based individual results and compile accumulative OBE based results of the session.
  2. Check and analyze the attainment of PLOs at student level and check cohort levels.
  3. Check and analyze the attainment of CLOs in the course(s) and check cohort levels.
  4. Analyze CRR (Course Review Reports) and SFF (Student Feedback Form). The SFF shall be submitted by the individual student and CRR shall be submitted by the course instructors.
  5. Recommendation to DARC for appropriate pursual.

(b) PEO Assessment Committee (PAC)

The committee consists of three faculty members headed by a senior faculty member. The committee is responsible for the following functions

  1. Collect ASF (Alumni Survey Forms) and ESF (Employer Survey Forms) and approved additional forms from Departmental Council to access PEOs
  2. Check and Analyze attainment of PEOs
  3. Recommendation to DARC for appropriate pursual.

(c) Departmental Academic Review Committee (DARC)

The committee consists of three to five faculty members headed by a senior faculty member. The committee shall be responsible for the following functions:

  1. Implementation of the recommendations of UGC and PAC after deliberations through concerned chairperson
  2. Recommendations to IAB and Departmental Council through concerned chairperson

Departmental Committees:

Following committees constituted by the concerned Head of the department and approved by the Vice Chancellor.

(a) CMS Committee

CMS committee will be headed by CMS coordinators and four faculty members. The function of CMS committees include:

  1. Enrollment of the students in the CMS and section allocation
  2. Course(s) registration of individual students
  3. Maintenance of Student CMS login and Faculty CMS login
  4. Implementation of the approved scheme of studies as well as CLOs along with PLOs in CMS
  5. Daily attendance monitoring
  6. Fee verification

(b) Semester Surveillance Committee

Semester surveillance committee, headed by a senior faculty member, who is the Chairperson of the committee with two other members. The committee is responsible for the following functions:

  1. Ensure course contents coverage by comparing tests with course outline provided by the teacher.
  2. Monitor classroom activities as mentioned in the course outline.
  3. Examine all problems regarding uniformity before the declaration of result.
  4. Address and decide students’ complaints regarding academic issues.

Industrial Advisory Board (IAB)

The recent shift from traditional educational systems in universities OBE system has encouraged universities to specify some traits, each engineering graduate should possess by the time of graduation. To set these traits, the input from industry is quite significant and vital. The core responsibility of IAB in the OBE system is the collection of valuable suggestions and recommendations from industrial representatives. This allows the universities to remain up to date with latest trends and techniques required by the industry, which eventually help to promote University-Academia collaboration. This is achieved by continuously upgrading the PEOs and curriculum of any Engineering program.

IAB comprises of prominent stakeholders from the industry, public sector organizations and relevant EE faculty. The core objectives of IAB are:

  • Design, deliver and evaluate the B.Sc. curriculum based on the industrial feedback
  • Align the curriculum as per the needs and demands of national and international industry
  • Strengthen the industry-academia linkage based on electrical engineering education and research

So far two Industrial Advisory Board meetings have been arranged by the Department of Electrical Engineering.
