1.3 - Curriculum Enrichment

1.3.1 - Institution integrates crosscutting issues relevant to Professional Ethics, Gender, Human Values, Environment and
Sustainability into the Curriculum
PDEU integrates cross cutting issues like professional ethics, gender, human values, environment
and sustainability in all the academic programmes through curriculum design. It further maps the
courses for programme outcome wherein the courses can demonstrate an awareness of Professional
Ethics, Gender, Human Values, Environment and Sustainability. The efforts of PDEU can be
documented as below.

Professional Ethics, Gender and Human Values

School of Technology and School of Petroleum Technology in their first year B. Tech. programme has
subject on “Professional Ethics and Human Values” across all branches. The course has a section
related to human values, which discuss morals, values, and ethics and how they are integrated with
each other. The section on ethics related to engineering discusses a variety of moral dilemmas
related to the engineering profession. There is also a concerted mapping of program outcome 6,7,8
identified for each course outcome and implemented in teaching & evaluation. Further it includes
some discussion related to safety, risk, and global issues. SPM offers course on “Business,
Society and Governance” which gives orientation of Professional Ethics and Human Values. SPM has
ensured that all the courses may have discussion related to above and are part of Programme
objectives.

PDEU has a mandatoryRural, Civic and Social Service Internship which is integral to all the
Technology and Liberal Studies programme for first-year students. It is conceptualized as a
platform for pre-planned, organized, structured, supervised off-campus experiences with an
academic context. It helps students understand issues of civic amenities, societal grievances, and
models of providing assistance to needy and unprivileged. The internship helps students to
comprehend the meaning of life and living. During this internship, students are trained to plan
and execute an extensive range of social services, social welfare activities, and work in health
and philanthropic organizations. Students undergo the internship at various NGOs, community
centers.

Expert Lectures on gender-related issues and human values are regularly organized by various
schools as a part of their guest lectures, workshops, conclave, conferences etc.

Environment and Sustainability

All the academic programmes offered by PDEU sensitizes students on Environment and sustainability.
Wherever the courses / topics have relevance and interface with environment and sustainability it
becomes part of the curriculum. Two of the departments (i.e. Solar Energy and Nuclear Energy) of
PDEU School of Technology offer Masters and PhD programmes having course curriculum which has
focus on Environment and Sustainability. Department of Electrical Engineering also has many
courses in its M. Tech and B Tech programme which offers orientation on environment and
sustainability. Most of the schools have courses which includes importance of Environment and
Sustainability.

Adequate number of course across the schools sensitize students on Gender, Environment and
Sustainability, Human Values and Professional Ethics.

2.6 - Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 - The institution has stated learning outcomes (generic and programme specific)/graduate attributes which are integrated
into the assessment process and widely publicized through the website and other documents
The Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs), Programme Outcomes (POs)are articulated for all
programme. The course outcomes are prepared following Bloom's Taxonomy and are mapped to the
concerned programme’s POs and the course syllabus and assessment strategies are derived based on
the mapping. All programmes adhere strictly to the norms of statutory bodies such as NAAC, NBA,
etc. and the curricula are developed in line with the NEP 2020, incorporating cutting edge topics
pertaining to Industry 4.0.

Course Outlines are prepared and distributed to students of each programme at the beginning of a
term (semester/trimester, as the case may be) and communicated via online platforms such as MS
Teams and emails for ease of records and transmission to each batch of students. The same are
reflected in the LMS too. A Handbook containing course requirements and syllabi is shared with
students at the beginning of a programme that details the course objectives and outcomes,
suggested breakdown of modules and assessment criteria.

2.6.2 - Attainment of Programme outcomes, Programme specific outcomes and course outcomes are evaluated by the institution
during the year
Detailed Course Outlines contain POs, CO-PO mapping details, assessment component details and
schedule, session plan, mapping of assessment components to COs and rubrics for assessment.
Separately, instructions for continuous evaluation components are provided as per specific
course’s requirement.

Attainment of Course Outcomes

Student-wise CO evaluation for Internal Assessment Components of a course is collated in an MS

Excel worksheet. The formulae for calculating Final COs and Weighted COs as per the stated
learning outcomes communicated to students at the beginning of each academic term are used to
arrive at the cumulative Internal Assessment attainment for each student.

Attainment of Program Outcomes (Course-wise direct linkages)

Course Outcome attainment levels are codified at the beginning of an academic term (E.g., 60%
scoring at or above an agreed-upon level for a CO means the CO is attained and it is coded “1” in
an Excel worksheet for calculating PO Attainment; else, “0”). The worksheet draws from the details
provided in the previous ones on attainment of course outcomes (described earlier here). The
summary and target-versus-attained levels etc. are depicted pictorially too for ease of
interpretation and analysis.

Based on these analyses, the Course Outcome and Program Outcome related actions are proposed in
faculty meetings of the respective areas/branches.
