Outcomes
(PO)/
Graduate
Attributes Students of an engineering
programme are expected to
attain the following POs:
1. Engineering Knowledge:
Apply knowledge of
mathematics, natural
science, engineering
fundamentals and an
engineering specialisation
as specified in WK1 to
WK4 respectively to the
solution of complex
engineering problems.
2. Problem Analysis:
Identify, formulate,
conduct research
literature and analyse
complex engineering
problems reaching
substantiated conclusions
using first principles of
mathematics, natural
sciences and engineering
sciences (WK1 to WK4).
3. Design/Development
of Solutions: Design
solutions for complex
engineering problems
and design systems,
components or processes
that meet specified
needs with appropriate
consideration for public
health and safety,
cultural, societal,
and environmental
considerations (WK5).
4. Investigation: Conduct
investigation of complex
engineering problems
using research-based
knowledge (WK8) and
research methods
including design of
experiments, analysis and
interpretation of data, and
synthesis of information to
provide valid conclusions.

Students of an engineering
technology programme are
expected to attain the following
in a practice oriented learning
environment:
1. Knowledge: Apply
knowledge of
mathematics, science,
engineering fundamentals
and an engineering
specialisation to
defined and applied
engineering procedures,
processes, systems or
methodologies.
2. Problem Analysis:
Identify, formulate,
research literature
and analyse broadly
defined engineering
problems reaching
substantiated conclusions
using analytical tools
appropriate to their
discipline or area of
specialisation.
3. Design/Development
of solutions: Design
solutions for broadly-
defined engineering
technology problems and
contribute to the design
of systems, components
or processes to meet
specified needs with
appropriate consideration
for public health and
safety, cultural, societal,
and environmental
considerations.
4. Investigation: Conduct
investigations of broadly-
defined problems; locate,
search and select relevant
data from codes, data
bases and literature,
design and conduct
experiments to provide
valid conclusions.
Students of an engineering
technician diploma programme
are expected to attain the
following in a practice oriented
learning environment:
1. Knowledge: Apply
knowledge of applied
mathematics, applied
science, engineering
fundamentals and an
engineering specialisation
as specified in DK1 to
DK4 respectively to wide
practical procedures and
practices.
2. Problem Analysis: Identify
and analyse well-defined
engineering problems
reaching substantiated
conclusions using codified
methods of analysis
specific to their field of
activity (DK1 to DK4).
3. Design/development
of solutions: Design
solutions for well-defined
technical problems and
assist with the design of
systems, components
or processes to meet
specified needs with
appropriate consideration
for public health and
safety, cultural, societal,
and environmental
considerations (DK5).
4. Investigation: Conduct
investigations of well-
defined problems; locate
and search relevant codes
and catalogues, conduct
standard tests and
measurements.
