Describe the means for assessing the extent to which graduates are performing the stated
program outcomes/learning objectives. This should be accomplished by the following:
 Conducting a survey of graduating seniors every semester.
 Conduct a survey of alumni every two years.
 Conduct a survey of employers every two years. (Figure:2)
 Carefully designed questions asked during senior projects presentations. These questions
should be related to program outcomes.
 Outcomes of examinations.
 Outcomes of tests, quizzes and student projects.
 Conducting a survey of the trend of student final projects.

CRITERION 7: INSTITUTIONAL FACILITIES


Institutional facilities, including library, classrooms and offices must be adequate to support the
objective of the program. To satisfy this criterion a number of standards must be met.

Standard 7-1: The institution must have the infrastructure to support new trends in
learning such as e-learning.

Computers hardware and software plays an important role in effective learning.
Development budgets for all approved projects include computer supplies to FMS
focused to ensure availability of such items to all departments .Cooperation of DSR with
Information Technology Center (ITC) is being helpful for providing research needs from
Hardware and software.
The networking operations at the BUITEMS provided by DIT are being used by Faculty
and Students to communicate with research Teams to get proposals. Over the years, the
role of computer technology has continually grown both in terms of size and scope of
activities and FMS is utilizing this to improve the research scope and output. On official
website of BUITEMS link for digital library is provided for both faculty and students
while there is also a link of MSDNAA (Microsoft digital network academic alliance) to
coup up with the latest software’s whereas digital library provides access to the world’s
best research journals and e-books.
Most class rooms are equipped with computers and Multimedia projectors. Hence, most
of our classes are adequate for e-learning.

 The department lacks its own departmental library but the faculty (FOE&A) has its own
small library and the university library is up to date and modern, however some subject
books as mentioned in the course outline are not available.
The scientific research depends on Libraries to get scientific data that can be used as core for
proposing research .Libraries which include electronic databases, e-journals, multimedia, and
web resources, are required to foster scientific research. Library Information Portal (LIP) is
being further developed to provide a single-point access to all these resources. The focus of FMS
is also on understanding the current and future needs of the BUITEMS faculty and students and
how best to meet those needs. For this purpose, a continuous liaison with the faculty and students
is maintained for the selection of materials and collection development.
The FMS is giving special attention to authentic scientific data presented by research teams in
their proposals and reports that can only be attained by using professionally organized library
such as BUITEMS main library, Digital-library and MSDNAA. It supports academic and
research programs of the University and provides materials and services both in print and
electronic formats in all subject and research areas, particularly in science and engineering to
faculty, researchers, and students. Literature review, abstracts, and materials and methods of any
research paper can only obtained from periodicals and texts related the area of research.
