PEOs & SOs
Student Outcomes:
The students of BS Software Engineering program are expected to attain the following outcomes by the time of graduation:
- SO1: Complete an accredited program of study that prepares graduates as competent software engineering professionals capable of developing high-quality software systems.
- SO2: Apply principles of software engineering, computing, mathematics, science, and domain knowledge to analyze user requirements and develop software solutions.
- SO3: Identify, formulate, investigate literature, and solve complex software engineering problems using systematic engineering approaches and evidence-based decision-making.
- SO4: Design, develop, verify, validate, deploy, and maintain reliable, secure, scalable, and efficient software systems that satisfy stakeholder requirements while considering societal, legal, environmental, and economic constraints.
- SO5: Select, adapt, and effectively use modern software engineering methodologies, development frameworks, CASE tools, testing techniques, DevOps practices, and project management tools while understanding their limitations.
- SO6: Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader of multidisciplinary software development teams using collaborative and agile practices.
- SO7: Communicate effectively with stakeholders through software requirements specifications, design documents, technical reports, presentations, user manuals, and professional interactions.
- SO8: Evaluate the societal, legal, ethical, security, sustainability, and business implications of software systems in local and global contexts.
- SO9: Demonstrate professionalism, ethical conduct, accountability, and commitment to quality standards and best practices in software engineering.
- SO10: Engage in lifelong learning, continuous professional development, and adaptation to emerging software technologies, engineering practices, and industry standards.
The SOs provide graduates with the basis for attaining PEOs during their professional tenure. The broader defined PEOs were decomposed into more measurable and achievable SOs related to PEOs.
PEO-SO Mapping:
The student outcomes are mapped with the program educational objectives so that if we achieve the program learning outcomes, the program educational objectives would be considered to have been completed. The mapping of SOs with PEOs is mentioned in Table. Teaching different curriculum courses could achieve the program’s learning outcomes. As mentioned later, all these courses are related to the program learning outcome. Each course has its course learning outcome. Suppose the learning outcome of the course is achieved. In that case, the respective program learning outcome will be achieved, and ultimately, by attaining the program learning outcomes, we will accomplish the program’s educational objectives.
