The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) mandates the adoption of 11 Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs), derived from the Graduate Attributes of the Washington Accord and aligned with the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) framework. These PLOs form the core criteria for the accreditation and quality assurance of engineering degree programs in Pakistan.
| PLO No. | Description |
|---|---|
| PLO1: | Engineering Knowledge: Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and Engineering specialization to the solution of complex electronics engineering problems. |
| PLO2: | Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, conduct research literature, and analyze complex electronic Engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences. |
| PLO3: | Design/Development of Solutions: An ability to design solutions for complex electronic engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safely, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations. |
| PLO4: | Investigation: Conduct investigation of complex electronic engineering problems using research-based knowledge and research methods, including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions. |
| PLO5: | Tool Usage: Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, to complex electronic engineering problems, with an understanding of the limitations. |
| PLO6: | The Engineer and the World: Analyze and evaluate sustainable development impacts to society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks, and die environment while solving complex electronic engineering problems. |
| PLO7: | Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and norms of engineering practice and adhere to relevant national and international laws. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion. |
| PLO8: | Individual and Collaborative Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams and in multi-disciplinary, face-to-face, remote and distributed selling. |
| PLO9: | Communication: Communicate effectively and inclusively on complex electronic engineering activities with die engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, and make effective presentations, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences. |
| PLO10: | Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one\'s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments. |
| PLO11: | Lifelong Learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability for i) independent and life-long learning ii) adaptability to new and emerging technologies and iii) critical thinking in the broadest context of technological change. |
