VNIT Nagpur Mining Engineering Department

PEO's & PO's

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEO) 

The Programme Educational Objectives (PEO) of B.Tech. Mining Engineering are established according to the industry’s requirements, in consultation with peer academicians and alumni representatives.

PEOs (Program Educational Objectives) relate to the career and professional accomplishments of passed out students after they graduate from the program. Consequently, assessment and evaluation of the objectives requires tools that can be applied after graduation. However, keeping the significance of contribution of the curriculum and the assessment opportunities, such as examination and evaluation results, placement data, employer feedback and higher education entrance performance, etc. are taken as tools for supplementary evidence to assess PEOs.

The curriculum is primary tool to prepare and motivate students to achieve PEOs e.g. their responsibility towards betterment of society and importance of lifelong learning. The curriculum is structured to accommodate core mining engineering, managerial skills and communication skills beside the basic science courses.

The curriculum is designed in such a manner so that it takes care of all possible options for mining engineering graduates to pursue their careers as practicing engineers/entrepreneurs/researchers/academics. Field visits, compulsory training, seminars and projects make them aware of the changing professional needs of the mining engineering field.

The Programme Educational Objectives of B.Tech. Mining Engineering are as follows:

The graduate shall be able to;

  1. Demonstrate the knowledge in the areas of mining engineering processes, systems and technologies looking into industry and research needs by exposing them to the latest technology. 
  2. Understand the practical aspects of the mining industry and an appreciation for mining as a profession with regards to safety, technology, blasting and environment looking into economics and production.
  3. Apply knowledge in the application of engineering principles pertaining to mine planning, decision making and systems and invoke the desire for continuing education, research, intellectual and professional development and creativity.

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES:

The Programme Outcomes of B. Tech. Mining Engineering are established through consultation with stakeholders, keeping the graduate attributes and the Institute/Department Vision, Mission as a basis.

The main constituents for the program are current students, alumni, faculty and the industry, having representation in different departmental meetings. Input from all the stakeholders is obtained on various aspects of the program and deliberated in the DAB meeting of the department.  Once accepted by DAB, it is presented to BOS.

After getting approval from BOS, the Program Outcomes are accepted.

Programme Outcomes are as follows:

At the end of the program B.Tech Mining Engineering, the student will be able to:

1. Exhibit knowledge of mining engineering and allied with basic sciences
