Mapping of Course’s Outcomes with Programme Outcome
CO(a) ↔ PO1
Justification: CO(a) emphasizes applying automation in manufacturing. This requires a solid foundation
in the principles of mathematics, basic sciences, and core engineering, which is what PO1 targets. The
knowledge base necessary for automation technologies, including sensors, control systems, and
robotics, directly draws from these disciplines.
Justification: CO(b) involves understanding modeling and simulation, which require foundational
knowledge in mathematics and engineering (PO1). Moreover, creating and using models and
simulations is akin to conducting experiments, where one needs to analyze and interpret data to validate
models, aligning with PO2.
CO(c) ↔ PO3
● CO(c): An ability to design and construct mechanisms, machines, components, and processes to
meet desired requirements, within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political,
and ethical issues.
● PO3: An ability to design and construct mechanisms, machines, components, and processes to
meet desired requirements, within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political,
and ethical issues.
Justification: CO(c) is directly related to PO3 as both focus on design and construction within various
constraints. This alignment ensures that students can create practical solutions that are economically
viable, environmentally friendly, and socially acceptable, while also considering political and ethical
issues.
6
● PO10: Knowledge of contemporary developments.
CO(e) ↔ PO5
● CO(e): An ability to identify, formulate, and solve the problems using Automation in
Manufacturing principles.
● PO5: An ability to identify, formulate, and solve problems using sound Mechanical Engineering
principles.
Justification: CO(e) focuses on problem-solving within the scope of automation in manufacturing. This
directly relates to PO5, which is about applying sound mechanical engineering principles to identify,
formulate, and solve problems. This ensures that students are equipped to handle practical challenges
in the field of automation.
Summary
The detailed mapping and justification align the specific skills and knowledge areas of the course
outcomes (COs) with the broader goals and competencies outlined in the program outcomes (POs). This
comprehensive approach ensures that students not only gain specialized knowledge in automotive air
conditioning but also develop the foundational and professional skills necessary for a successful career
in mechanical engineering
