skills in the field of Mechanical Engineering Technology.
PEO-2 The graduates will establish life-long learning and innovation-managing projects involving
multifaceted Mechanical technology problems.
PEO-3 The graduates will engage in continuous professional growth both individually and in a team
with a commitment for economic development with environmental and ethical responsibilities.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
As a signatory of the Sydney Accord, the National Technology Council (NTC) recommend the following
Graduate Attributes (GAs) across all engineering technology programs for all engineering technology degree
awarding institutions/universities. These relate to the knowledge, skills, and attributes that students acquire at
least to some acceptable minimum level while progressing through the program.
1. Engineering Technology Knowledge (SA-01): An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, natural
science, Engineering Technology fundamentals and Engineering Technology specialization to define and
apply Engineering Technology procedures, processes, systems, or methodologies.
2. Problem Analysis (SA-02): An ability to Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze broadly
defined Engineering Technology problems reaching substantiated conclusions using analytical tools
appropriate to the discipline or area of specialization.
3. Design/Development of Solutions (SA-03): An ability to design solutions for broadly- defined
Engineering Technology problems and contribute to the design of systems, components, or processes to
meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and
environmental considerations.
4. Investigation (SA-04): An ability to conduct investigations of broadly defined problems; locate, search,
and select relevant data from codes, databases and literature, design and conduct experiments to provide
valid conclusions.
5. Modern Tool Usage (SA-05): An ability to Select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and
modern technology and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to broadly defined Engineering
Technology problems, with an understanding of the limitations.
6. The Engineering Technologist and Society (SA-06): An ability to demonstrate understanding of the
societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues, and the consequent responsibilities relevant to
Engineering Technology practice and solutions to broadly defined Engineering Technology problems.
7. Environment and Sustainability (SA-07): An ability to understand and evaluate the sustainability and
impact of Engineering Technology work in the solution of broadly defined Engineering Technology
problems in societal and environmental contexts.

8. Ethics (SA-08): Understand and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of
Engineering Technology practice.
9. Individual and Teamwork (SA-09): An ability to Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or
leader in diverse teams.
10. Communication (SA-10): An ability to communicate effectively on broadly defined Engineering
Technology activities with the Engineering Technologist community and with society at large, by being
able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations,
and give and receive clear instructions.
11. Project Management (SA-11): An ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Engineering
Technology management principles and apply these to one’s work, as a member or leader in a team and to
manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
12. Lifelong Learning (SA-12): An ability to recognize the need for and engage in independent and life-long
learning in specialist Engineering Technologies.
