Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

Program Outcomes (POs):

Graduates Attributes (GAs) form a set of individually assessable outcomes that are the components indicative of the graduate’s potential to acquire competence to practice at the appropriate level. The GAs of PG programmes are examples of the attributes expected from a graduate of an accredited programme. The Graduate Attributes of PG programmes of the NBA are as following: 

  1. Scholarship of Knowledge:
    Acquire in-depth knowledge of specific discipline or professional area, including wider and global perspective, with an ability to discriminate, evaluate, analyse, and synthesise existing and new knowledge, and integration of the same for enhancement of knowledge. 
  2. Critical Thinking
    Analyse complex engineering problems critically, apply independent judgement for synthesising information to make intellectual and/or creative advances for conducting research in a wider theoretical, practical and policy context. 
  3. Problem Solving
    Think laterally and originally, conceptualise, and solve engineering problems, evaluate a wide range of potential solutions for those problems and arrive at feasible, optimal solutions after considering public health and safety, cultural, societal and environmental factors in the core areas of expertise. 
  4. Research Skill
    Extract information pertinent to unfamiliar problems through literature survey and experiments, apply appropriate research methodologies, techniques and tools, design, conduct experiments, analyse and interpret data, demonstrate higher order skill and view things in a broader perspective, contribute individually/in group(s) to the development of scientific/technological knowledge in one or more domains of engineering. 
  5. Usage of modern tools
    Create, select, learn, 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. 
  6. Collaborative and Multidisciplinary work
    Possess knowledge and understanding of group dynamics, recognise opportunities and contribute positively to collaborative-multidisciplinary scientific research, demonstrate a capacity for self-management and teamwork, decision-making based on open-mindedness, objectivity, and rational analysis in order to achieve common goals and further the learning of themselves as well as others. 
  7. Project Management and Finance
    Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles and apply the same to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, manage projects efficiently in respective disciplines and multidisciplinary environments after consideration of economic and financial factors. 
  8. Communication
    Communicate with the engineering community, and with society at large, regarding complex engineering activities confidently and effectively, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation by adhering to appropriate standards, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions. 
  9. Life-long Learning
    Recognise the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in life-long learning independently, with a high level of enthusiasm and commitment to improve knowledge and competence continuously. 
  10. Ethical Practices and Social Responsibility
    Acquire professional and intellectual integrity, professional code of conduct, ethics of research and scholarship, consideration of the impact of research outcomes on professional practices and an understanding of responsibility to contribute to the community for sustainable development of society. 
  11. Independent and Reflective Learning
    Observe and examine critically the outcomes of one’s actions and make corrective measures subsequently and learn from mistakes without depending on external feedback.

Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs):
