Course Outcome (CO) – Statements that describe what students are expected to know, and are able to do at the
end of each course. These relate to the skills, knowledge and behaviour that students acquire in their progress
through the course.

Program Outcomes (POs) – Program Outcomes are statements that describe what students are expected to know
and be able to do upon graduating from the Program. These relate to the skills, knowledge, attitude and behaviour
that students acquire through the program. NBA has defined the Program Outcomes for each discipline.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES FOR ENGINEERING

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 modeling 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.

Message from Amma’s Life for the Modern World


Amma’s messages can be put to action in our life through pragmatism and attuning of our thought process in a
positive and creative manner. Every single word Amma speaks and the guidance received in on matters which
we consider as trivial are rich in content and touches the very inner being of our personality. Life gets enriched
by Amma’s guidance and She teaches us the art of exemplary life skills where we become witness to all the
happenings around us still keeping the balance of the mind.

The aim of this course is to present the rich literature and culture of Ancient India and help students appreciate
their deep influence on Indian Life - Vedic culture, primary source of Indian Culture – Brief introduction and
appreciation of a few of the art forms of India - Arts, Music, Dance, Theatre.

and theory classes on selected verses of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra and Ashtanga Yoga. The coverage also includes
the effect of yoga on integrated personality development.

Kerala Mural Art and Painting


Mural painting is an offshoot of the devotional tradition of Kerala. A mural is any piece of artwork painted or
applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other large permanent surface. In the contemporary scenario Mural painting
is not restricted to the permanent structures and are being done even on canvas. Kerala mural paintings are the
frescos depicting mythology and legends, which are drawn on the walls of temples and churches in South India,
principally in Kerala. Ancient temples, churches and places in Kerala, South India, display an abounding tradition
of mural paintings mostly dating back between the 9th to 12th centuries when this form of art enjoyed Royal
patronage. Learning Mural painting through the theory and practice workshop is the objective of this course.

Course on Organic Farming and Sustainability


Organic farming is emerging as an important segment of human sustainability and healthy life. Haritamritam’ is
an attempt to empower the youth with basic skills in tradition of organic farming and to revive the culture of
growing vegetables that one consumes, without using chemicals and pesticides. Growth of Agriculture through
such positive initiatives will go a long way in nation development. In Amma’s words “it is a big step in restoring
the lost harmony of nature“.

Benefits of Indian Medicinal Systems


Indian medicinal systems are one of the most ancient in the world. Even today society continues to derive
enormous benefits from the wealth of knowledge in Ayurveda of which is recognised as a viable and sustainable

AMRITA VISHWA VIDYAPEETHAM BTECH AES 2019 Page 47 of 154


medicinal tradition. This course will expose students to the fundamental principles and philosophy of Ayurveda
and other Indian medicinal traditions.

Traditional Fine Arts of India


India is home to one of the most diverse Art forms world over. The underlying philosophy of Indian life is ‘Únity
in Diversity” and it has led to the most diverse expressions of culture in India. Most art forms of India are an
expression of devotion by the devotee towards the Lord and its influence in Indian life is very pervasive. This
course will introduce students to the deeper philosophical basis of Indian Art forms and attempt to provide a
practical demonstration of the continuing relevance of the Art.

Science of Worship in India


Indian mode of worship is unique among the world civilisations. Nowhere in the world has the philosophical idea
of reverence and worshipfulness for everything in this universe found universal acceptance as it in India. Indian
religious life even today is a practical demonstration of the potential for realisation of this profound truth. To see
the all-pervading consciousness in everything, including animate and inanimate, and constituting society to realise
this truth can be seen as the epitome of civilizational excellence. This course will discuss the principles and
rationale behind different modes of worship prevalent in India.
