K-Knowledge Profile:
K1: A systematic, theory-based understanding of the natural sciences applicable to the discipline; K2:
Conceptually based mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and the formal aspects of computer and
information science to support analysis and modeling applicable to the discipline; K3: A systematic, theory-
based formulation of engineering fundamentals required in the engineering discipline; K4: Engineering
specialist knowledge that provides theoretical frameworks and bodies of knowledge for the accepted practice
areas in the engineering discipline; much is at the forefront of the discipline; K5: Knowledge that supports
engineering design in a practice area; K6: Knowledge of engineering practice (technology) in the practice areas
in the engineering discipline; K7:Comprehension of the role of engineering in society and identified issues in
engineering practice in the discipline: ethics and the engineer’s professional responsibility to public safety; the
impacts of engineering activity; economic, social, cultural, environmental and sustainability; K8: Engagement
with selected knowledge in the research literature of the discipline.

P-Range of Complex Engineering Problem Solving:

P1: Cannot be resolved without in-depth engineering knowledge at the level of one or more of K3, K4, K5, K6,
or K8, which allows a fundamentals-based, first principles analytical approach; P2: Involve wide-ranging or
conflicting technical, engineering, and other issues; P3: Have no obvious solution and require abstract thinking,
originality in analysis to formulate suitable models; P4: Involve infrequently encountered issues; P5: Are
outside problems encompassed by standards and codes of practice for professional engineering; P6: Involve
diverse groups of stakeholders with widely varying needs; P7: Are high-level problems including many
component parts or sub-problems.

A-Range of Complex Engineering Activities:

A1: Involve the use of diverse resources (and for this purpose, resources include people, money, equipment,
materials, information and technologies); A2: Require resolution of significant problems arising from
interactions between wide-ranging or conflicting technical, engineering or other issues; A3: Involve creative use
of engineering principles and research-based knowledge in novel ways; A4: Have significant consequences in a
range of contexts, characterized by difficulty of prediction and mitigation; A5: Can extend beyond previous
experiences by applying principles-based approaches.

14. Assessment Strategy

 Class Participation: Class participation and attendance will be recorded in every class.
 Continuous Assessment: Continuous assessment any of the activities such as quizzes, assignment,
presentation, etc. The scheme of the continuous assessment for the course will be declared on the first day
of classes.
 Final Examination: A comprehensive term final examination will be held at the end of the Term
following the guideline of academic Council.
