VNIT Nagpur Mining Engineering Department

PEO's & PO's

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOs) 

The Programme Educational Objectives (PEO) of B.Tech. Mining Engineering are established as per the requirement of industry, in consultation with peer academicians and alumni representatives.

PEOs (Program Educational Objectives) relate to the career and professional accomplishments of passed out students after their graduation 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 carrier as practicing engineers/entrepreneurs/researchers/academician. Field visits, compulsory training, seminar and projects make them aware about changing professional needs of 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 (POS):

The Programme Outcomes of B. Tech. Mining Engineering are established through consultation with stake holders keeping the graduate attributes and Institute/Department Vision, Mission as 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 stake holders are 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 PO’s are accepted.

Programme Outcomes are as follows:

  1. An ability to design a safe mining practices through understanding various  mining subjects. 
  2. Formulate a system, component, or process to meet desired needs of mining engineers within realistic constraints such  as economic, environmental and social.
  3. An ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary sciences and its application to mining.
  4. Identify and formulate the scheme to solve technical problems.
  5. Understanding of professional responsibility and skill.
  6. Broad based  mining education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context in long term.
  7. Recognition of the need for conservation of reserves and development of safe technology survival in global environment.
  8. Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for mining engineering practices.
  9. To understand engineering and management principles and its application through most rational approaches for the extraction of minerals.
