Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science,
P
engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of
PO1
complex engineering problems.
Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze
P
complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using
PO2
first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering
P problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified
PO3 needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the
cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge
P and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and
PO4 interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid

PS 1: Introduce yourself in detail. What are the goals in your life? How do
you set your goals in your life? How do you differentiate between right and
wrong? What have been your salient achievements and shortcomings in
your life? Observe and analyze them. { K2 Level; CO1}

PS 2: Now-a-days, there is a lot of talk about many techno-genie maladies

such as energy and material resource depletion, environmental pollution,
global warming, ozone depletion, deforestation, soil degradation, etc. - all
these seem to be manmade problems, threatening the survival of life Earth
- What is the root cause of these maladies & what is the way out in
opinion? On the other hand, there is rapidly growing danger because of
nuclear proliferation, arms race, terrorism, breakdown of relationships,
generation gap, depression & suicidal attempts etc. - what do you think, is
the root cause of these threats to human happiness and peace - what
could be the way out in your opinion? { K3 Level; CO2}

PS 3:
1. Observe that each of us has the faculty of „Natural Acceptance‟, based
on which one can verify what is right or not right for him. (As such we are
not properly trained to listen to our „Natural Acceptance‟ and may a time
it is also clouded by our strong per-conditioning and sensory attractions).

Explore the following:

 HEAS DEPARTMENT,UD, RTU KOTA
HUMAN VALUES LAB MANUAL

(i) What is Naturally Acceptable‟ to you in relationship the feeling of

respect or disrespect for yourself and for others?
(ii) What is „naturally Acceptable‟ to you - to nurture or to exploit others?

Is your living in accordance with your natural acceptance or different from

it?
2. Out of the three basic requirements for fulfilment of your aspirations -
right understanding, relationship and physical facilities - observe how the
problems in your family are related to each. Also observe how much time
& effort you devote for each in your daily routine. { K2 Level; CO3, CO4}

PS 4:
1. a. Observe that any physical facility you use, follows the given sequence
with time:

Necessary and tasteful - unnecessary but still tasteful - unnecessary and

tasteless - intolerable b. In contrast, observe that any feeling in you is
either naturally acceptable or not acceptable at all. If not acceptable, you
want it continuously and if not acceptable, you do not want it any
moment! 2. List down all your important activities. Observe whether the
activity is of „I‟ or of Body or with the participation of both or with the
participation of both „I‟ and Body.
3. Observe the activities within „i‟. Identify the object of your attention for
different
Moments (over a period of say 5 to 10 minutes) and draw a line diagram
connecting these points. Try to observe the link between any two nodes. {
K4 Level; CO3 }

PS 5:
1. Write a narration in the form of a story, poem, skit or essay to clarify a
salient Human Value to the children.
2. Recollect and narrate an incident in your life where you were able to

PS 6: List down some common units (things) of Nature which you come
across in your daily life and classify them in the four orders of Nature.

HUMAN VALUES LAB MANUAL

Analysis and explain the aspect of mutual fulfilment of each unit with
other orders. { K2 Level; CO3 }

PS 7: Identify any two important problems being faced by the society

today and analyze the root cause of these problems. Can these be solved
on the basic of natural acceptance of human values? If so, how should one
proceed in this direction from the present situation? {K3 Level; CO3, }

PS 8:
1. Suggest ways in which you can use your knowledge of
Science/Technology/Management etc. for moving towards a universal
human order.

Nation. { K3 Level; CO3 }

Project: Every student required to take-up a social project e.g. educating
