Introduction to Course:
Cloud computing is not something that suddenly appeared overnight; in some form, it
may trace back to a time when computer systems remotely time-shared computing
resources and applications. More currently though, cloud computing refers to the many
different types of services and applications being delivered in the internet cloud, and
the fact that, in many cases, the devices used to access these services and applications
do not require any special applications.
Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs):
The Programme Educational Objectives of B.Tech. programmes are:
1. To prepare graduates who will be successful professionals in industry,
government, academia, research, entrepreneurial pursuit and consulting firms
2. To prepare graduates who will contribute to society as broadly educated,
expressive, ethical and responsible citizens with proven expertise
3. To prepare graduates who will achieve peer-recognition; as an individual or in a
team; through demonstration of good analytical, design and implementation
skills
4. To prepare graduates who will thrive to pursue life-long learning to fulfill their
goals
Programme Outcomes (POs):
Undergraduate engineering programmes are designed to prepare graduates to attain
the following program outcomes:
1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science,
engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of
complex engineering problems.
2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze
complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first
principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering
problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified
needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the
cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge
and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and
interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid
conclusions.
5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources,
and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to
complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual
knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the
consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
7. Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional
engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate
the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and
responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a
member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
10. Communication: 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.
11. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding
of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own
work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in
multidisciplinary environments.
12. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability
to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of
technological change.
