Programme Outcomes (POs) are attributes of the graduates of the programme that are indicative of the graduates’ ability and competence to work as an engineering professional upon graduation. Program Outcomes are statements that describe what students are expected to know or be able to do by the time of graduation. They must relate to knowledge and skills that the students acquire from the programme. The achievement of all outcomes indicates that the student is well prepared to achieve the program educational objectives down the road. The following 12 POs have been chosen by the ECE Department of Chandigarh University. The ECE curriculum at CU has been designed to fully meet all the 12 Programme Outcomes:

PO 1: Apply the knowledge of Mathematics, Science, and Engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to solution of complex engineering problems (Engineering Knowledge)

PO 2: Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences (Problem analysis)

PO 3: Design of solutions for complex engineering problems and design of system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate considerations of public health and safety, and cultural, societal, and environmental considerations (Design/development of solutions)

PO 4: Use research based methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data and synthesis of information leading to logical conclusions (Conduct investigations of complex problems)

PO 5: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling complex engineering activities with an understanding of limitations (Modern tool usage)

PO 6: Apply reasoning within the contextual knowledge to access societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues and the con-sequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice (The engineer and society)

PO 7: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in the societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and the need for sustainable developments (Environment and sustainability)

PO 8: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice (Ethics)

PO 9: Function effectively as an individual independently and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings (Individual and team work)

PO 10: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large such give and receive clear instructions (Communication)

PO 11: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and apply those to one’s own work as a member and leader of a team to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments (Project management and finance)

PO 12: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change (Life-long Learning).

Programme Specific Objectives (PSOs) are specific statements that describe the professional career accomplishments that the program is designed. The PSOs of the M.E. (ECE) are as follows:

PSO 1: Analyze specific engineering problems relevant to Electronics & Communication Engineering by applying the knowledge of basic sciences, engineering mathematics and engineering fundamentals.

PSO 2: Design electronics and communication systems containing electronic devices, software, and hardware using the significant analytical knowledge in Electronics & Communication Engineering and applying modern tools.

PSO 3: Apply and transfer interdisciplinary systems and Engineering approaches to the various areas, like Communications, Signal processing, VLSI and Nanotechnology.
