1.4. State the process for defining the Vision and Mission of the Department, and PEOs of
the program

Documentation Required

 Document evidence for the involvement of stakeholders in the process of defining

vision and mission statements (circular, minutes of meeting, PAC committee
members, DAB committee members, resolution (partially completed))

 PAC-DAB-GB involvement proofs in the process (need to prepare for documents

based meeting, resolution, approval etc.)

1.4 (A) The Process for defining vision, mission and PEO’s of the department
The process for defining Vision and Mission of the department started with a brainstorming
session at the department level and later evaluated and approved through a consultative process
involving the stakeholders of the department, Department Advisory Board (DAB) and Governing
Body (GB).

The steps for collecting inputs and analyzing for defining Vision and Mission are as follows:

Step 1: Brainstorming
Brainstorming session was conducted by inviting various internal stakeholders (faculty, students,
and staff) and external stakeholders (parent, alumni, and external experts). The brainstorming
session resulted in the first set of vision and mission statements that are strategically aligned to
the institutions vision and mission statements.

Step 2: Evaluation
The vision and mission statements drafted in the brainstorming session are communicated to the
Program Assessment Committee (PAC) Coordinator who made changes and finalized statements
with feedback and suggestions the Department Advisory Board (DAB).

Step 3: Approval / Validation

The finalized Vision and Mission statements are later sent to the Governing Body (GB) for
approval.
Step 4: Dissemination
After receiving approval from GB, the department vision and mission are published and
disseminated to the stakeholders through various mediums as mentioned

1.4 (B)Process of defining the PEO's of the program:

The Program Educational Objectives are established through a consultation process involving the
various stakeholders such as students, alumni, industry, faculties and employers. The following
process was followed to define the department PEO’s:

Step 1: Vision, mission, and graduate attributes of the department are taken as basis to interact
with various stake holders and define the PEO statements.

Step 2: Program coordinator consults the key constituents and collects their views and submits
the views to Departmental Advisory Board (DAB). DAB summarizes the collected views and
expresses its opinion on the views to define the PEO statements of the department. The PEO
statements are later sent to the Program Assessment Committee (PAC)for feedback and
verification.
Step 4: After verifying the statements, PAC send the documents to Internal Quality Assurance
Committee (IQAC). IQAC conducts final verification and later sends the PEO statements to the
governing body for approval.

Justification for Mapping

The mapping for PEO statements with department mission statements is carried using three
weightage indicators: 3 – strong correlation; 2 – moderate correlation; 1 – weak correlation.

PEO1

 EO1 is strongly correlated with M1 as equipping students with complex problem

solving skills will be carried out through implementing innovative pedagogical
practices and industry- relevant curriculum that will be aligned with the
professional aspiration of students.
 With M2, there is an intermediate correlation as promotion of research and
development will include investigation and solving of complex-problems in
emerging areas such as VLSI, embedded systems, and wireless communication.
 There exists a weak correlation with M3 as problem-solving ability is needed
as a pre-requisite to understand, identify, and solve societal issues.

PEO2

 PEO2 has a medium correlation with M1 as professional skills are developed

among students through innovative pedagogies such as Project-Based learning
(PBL), and Collaborative and Cooperative Learning.
 PEO2 has medium correlation with M2 as professional skills are also developed
through conduction of research where students develop the writing and
presentation skills that essential to communicate their research findings.
 Students also get an opportunity to hone their professional skills while working
on societal challenges that require them to engage in discussions to interact with
community partners and manage projects effectively. Therefore, PEO2 has a
strong correlation with M3.
PEO3

 PEO3 as a medium correlation with M1 as students learn how to communicate, work

in groups through innovative pedagogies in the classroom..
 There exists a medium correlation with M2 as students learn the importance of
ethical research practices while conducting research
 PEO3 is highly correlated with M3 as students while working on solving community
level challenges interact in teams, communicate professionally with community
partners, and evaluate the implications of technological solutions on the environment
and society

PEO4

 PEO4 has strong correlation with all the mission statements as students need to
have knowledge of contemporary technologies, need to be able to work in
inter-disciplinary teams, and work collaboratively with community partners to
understand, analyze and solve engineering challenges that will lead to
sustainable development
