Goal of the Programme
The Bachelor of Science in Mechatronic Engineering programs aimed at producing mechatronics graduates who are prepared to be hired by industry as multidisciplinary professionals or who will engage in the provision of mechatronic solutions to small scale enterprises and as contributors to research efforts in new technologies related to mechatronic engineering.
Programme Educational Objectives
The Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) articulate the expected accomplishments of graduates after completing the Bachelor of Science in Mechatronic Engineering program, highlighting their readiness to excel in their professions and technical pursuits. This program is anchored by three carefully defined PEOs, as outlined in Table below, which are strategically formulated to align with the program’s Vision, Mission, and educational goals while addressing the evolving demands of employers and key stakeholders. Graduates will emerge not only with a comprehensive knowledge base and technical expertise but also equipped with critical problem-solving abilities, leadership competencies, and a profound commitment to lifelong learning, ensuring they can adapt and thrive in a dynamic professional landscape.
The Programme Education Objectives
| PEO | PEO Statement |
| PEO1 | Engineers with the knowledge and competency to succeed and lead in the Mechatronics systems and other related industries. |
| PEO2 | Innovative engineers who demonstrate in-depth understanding of Mechatronic engineering and problem-solving skills to practise as registered professional engineers. |
| PEO3 | Engineers who are engaged in sustainable development, professional integrity and lifelong learning for the betterment of the global society. |
Programme POs adapted from EAC generic PO
Programme Outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to perform or attain by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behavior that students acquire through the programme. Students of an engineering programme are expected to attain the following POs:
| Programme Outcomes (PO) | Mechatronic Engineering POs derived from EAC Manual 2017 |
|
PO 1
Engineering Knowledge | Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization as specified in WK1 to WK4 respectively to the solution of complex engineering problems. |
|
PO 2
Problem Analysis | Identify, formulate, conduct research literature and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences (WK1 to WK4). |
|
PO 3
Design/Development of Solutions | 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 (WK5). |
|
PO 4
Investigation | Conduct investigation of complex engineering problems using research-based knowledge (WK8) and research methods, including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions. |
|
PO 5
Modern Tool Usage | Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, to complex engineering problems, in line with latest IR 4.0 requirements with an understanding of the limitations (WK6). |
|
PO 6
The Engineer and the World | 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 solutions to complex engineering problems (WK7) |
|
PO 7
Ethics | Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice (WK7) |
|
PO 8
Individual and Collaborative Team Work | Communicate effectively 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 |
|
PO 9
Communication | Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings. |
|
PO 10
Project Management and Finance | Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments |
|
PO 11
Lifelong Learning | Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change |
Outcome Based Education (OBE) Model:
PO achievement will be evaluated through aggregated assessment data from relevant courses, with performance targets set (e.g., 70% of students meeting CO thresholds). Rubrics and benchmarks ensure clear criteria for success. If targets will not be met, the curriculum or teaching methods will be adjusted, creating a continuous improvement cycle. This OBE model will ensure that graduates will develop the required skills to excel in their careers and meet industry needs. The figure below represents the proposed constituents of OBE.
