(Describe the different course delivery methods/modes (e.g. lecture interspersed with discussion,
asynchronous mode of interaction, group discussion, project etc.) used to deliver the courses and justify
the effectivenessof these methods for the attainment of POs. This may be further justified using
the indirect assessment methods such as course-end surveys.)

Content Delivery Methods

For effective content delivery of individual courses and to meet the POs effectively, different
delivery methods are used. Separate subset of methods is used for different courses depending
on the type of the course.

2.2.3. Indicate how assessment tools used to assess the impact of delivery of
course/course content contribute towards the attainment of course
outcomes/programme outcomes (15)
(Describe different types of course assessment and evaluation methods (both direct and indirect)
in practice and their relevance towards the attainment of POs )
Assessment Tools used:
1. Direct Assessment Tools
Home Assignment-Each and every student is assigned with course related tasks during every
course work once or twice and assessment will be done based on their performance. Grades
are assigned depending on their innovation in solving/deriving the problems.
55
Mid Examination-This type of performance assessment is carried out during the

examination sessions which are held twice a semester. Each and every mid examination is
focused in achieving the course outcomes.
Semester End Examination-Semester End examination is a metric for assessing whether all
the POs are reached or not. Examination is more focused on attainment of course outcomes
and program outcomes using a descriptive exam.
2. Indirect Assessment Tools

Survey reports- Indirect assessment strategies may be easily implemented by embedding them
in the end-of-course evaluation form, Alumni Survey and Employer Survey.
Course End Survey : End of a course
Graduate/Exit Survey: End of the program
Alumni Survey: after one year of graduation
Employer Survey: after one year of graduation

(Justify how the project works/thesis works carried out as part of the programme
curriculum contribute towards the attainment of the POs.)
The graduate students pursuing Master of Technology in Structural Engineering should
perform a research study in partial fulfillment of their requirements to be granted the
degree. The students will be working on their project work throughout their third and
fourth semesters. The project work is an important part of the curriculum as they will be
practically applying the theoretical knowledge gained through the study of the course
56
curriculum. The project works carried out by the students of structural engineering in
their last two academic years are mapped against the program outcomes as shown in the

2.3.1. Describe assessment tools and processes used for assessing the
attainment of each PO (25)
Describe the assessment process that periodically documents and demonstrates the degree
to which the Programme Outcomes are attained. Also include information on:
a) Listing and description of the assessment processes used to gather the data upon which the
evaluation of each the programme outcome is based. Examples of data collection processes may
include, but are not limited to, specific exam questions, student portfolios, internally developed assessment
exams, project presentations, nationally-normed exams, oral exams, focus groups, industrial advisory
committee;
b) The frequency with which these assessment processes are carried out.
Each outcome is analyzed based on a predefined performance indicator and assessment process. For
example, the performance indicator and assessment process of PO 1 is shown below:
PO 1: The graduate has an ability to apply higher order thinking for enhancement of knowledge
by acquiring in-depth knowledge of Structural Engineering
Performance Indicators:
Application of in depth technical knowledge in structural engineering and enhance their

knowledge in specific field
Assessment Process:
Students acquire in depth knowledge of structural engineering concepts with an ability to

evaluate, analyze and blend existing and new technologies. The student enhances the knowledge by
assimilating the above. The above PO is assessed indirectly in the entire graduation program through
various courses. The assessment is done with the courses mapped to this PO in the program with
appropriate assessment tools (Internal/External Exam result analysis and Graduate/alumni/employer
surveys, as in 2.2.3).
Once the performance indicators are defined, all the courses which contribute to the PO are identified
and evaluated using the direct and indirect assessment tools. The process for obtaining the data from the
assessment tools is shown in Criteria 2.2.3. The results of the direct assessment of the courses are
obtained by evaluating the courses on a predefined rubric. The PO is assessed using indirect assessment
tools (Course End Survey, Graduate exit survey, alumni survey, and employer survey). After the
assessment of the PO using both the direct and indircet assessment tools, the overall result from the
assessment of the PO is compared with the expected attainment. If the expected attainment level is
reached, the PO is considered satisfied.
59
All the program outcomes are assessed using the same process and the results are compared with the
expected attainment. If any PO is not satisfied, then the necessary changes required, either to the
curriculm or teahing methodolgies or the POs are then initiated to achieve the Program Outcome.
Fig 2.7: Program Outcome Assessment process
2.3.2. Indicate results of evaluation of each PO (100)

a) The expected level of attainment for each of the programme outcomes;
b) Summaries of the results of the evaluation processes and an analysis illustrating the extent
60
to which each of the programme outcomes are attained; and

c) How the results are documented and maintained.
The program outcomes are assessed with the help of direct and indirect methods. Direct measures
provide for the direct examination or observation of student knowledge or skills against measurable
program outcomes. The knowledge and skills described by the course outcomes are mapped to specific
problems on home assignment/group task/exams. Throughout the semester the faculty records the
performance of each student on each course outcome. At the end of the semester students receive
grades as usual. The data/scores coming from each course are used at the program level to assess the
program outcomes. The expected level of attainment of each PO is shown in the below table.

The Program Outcomes Assessment and Attainment process is based on the following four steps:
64
60%
Steps in assessment of Program Outcomes

Step 1 : In this step, it is ensured that all program outcomes are well addressed and covered
in the curriculum, mainly through the core courses of the program.
Step 2 : Course outcomes are assessed both directly (exams) and indirectly (surveys) by
course instructors. Each instructor reports, in the course file whether the course outcomes
are achieved or they need improvement. In case an outcome needs improvement, the
course instructor provides suggestions in the course file for improving the coverage of that
outcome in the next offering of the course. The course file (syllabus, course outcome
assessment, action for improving, copy of student exams, etc.) is submitted to the
examination section at the end of each semester for each offered course.
Step 3 : A set of Rubrics are designed to assess the program outcomes based on a few
sample courses from the curriculum to represent the student performance at the
graduation time. Also a performance criteria (a threshold) is set to help determine whether
a given program outcome is considered achieved or not based on a given outcome result.
Step 4 : Indirect program outcomes assessment is based on a set of well designed surveys.
which are: Course End Survey, Exit Survey, Alumni Survey and Employer Survey.
The faculty is assigned to review all courses files. Specifically the task was to review the courses
assessment results for each course and to draw some conclusion on how the delivery of each course can
be improved based on recommendations. Micro Result Analysis of internal examinations for the courses
is available in the department. For each course, the course outcomes are assessed with various sources
of data. The complete assessment of all the POs is shown below.
65
PO 1: The graduate has an ability to apply higher order thinking for enhancement of knowledge

Assessment Process:
Students acquire in depth knowledge of structural engineering concepts with an ability to
evaluate, analyze and blend existing and new technologies. The student enhances the knowledge by
assimilating the above. The above PO is assessed indirectly in the entire graduation program through
various courses. The assessment is done with the courses mapped to this PO in the program with
appropriate assessment tools (Internal/External Exam result analysis and Graduate/alumni/employer
surveys, as in 2.2.3).

The assessment process involves the results from Assignments and Sessionals from three academic
years for each course. The PO is considered satisfied only if the overall assessment of the PO, i.e the
average of the PO attainment of all the subjects meets the expected attainment level of the PO.
66
Indirect assessment:
The PO is also assessed by the survey reports to include the feedback from stake holders. The following
surveys are conducted to obtain the feedback. Also the frequency at which they are conducted is also
given.

(Articulate with rationale the curricular improvement brought in after the review of the attainment of the
POs)
The program outcomes are defined based on the PEOs of the department, which are in turn derived
from the Department Vision and Mission. The PEOs are assessed and evaluated based on industry needs
by the faculty and stakeholders. Once the PEOs are defined, the program outcomes are derived from the
PEOs in accordance with the Graduate Attributes. The program outcomes are then used to define the
curriculum. Once the Program Curriculum is finalized, the course outcomes of each course in the
curriculum are defined. The course outcomes are mapped with the program outcomes as shown in
Table 2.2.1. The POs are assessed based on the assessment of the course outcomes. Any PO not
attained indicates that one or many COs mapped to the PO are not attained. The COs not attained are
selected and the respective courses are identified. If the same courses are responsible for not
attainment of the PO for three consecutive years, the course curriculum is revised based on the
recommendations of the Board of Studies.

Once the program outcomes are defined, the assessment of the POs is done after the completion of
each academic year. The assessment includes the analysis of student performance in Internal/External
exams and also surveys from graduating students, alumni and employer. The results of assessment are
then evaluated on the basis of pre-described attainment expectations. If the evaluation of PO
assessment is not satisfactory for three successive years, then the Program Coordinator, in consultation
with the Program Assessment Committee (PAC), makes the necessary changes to the curriculum and
also revises and redefines the Program Outcomes to meet the specifies requirements.
