Department of Mining Engineering

PEOs (Program Educational Objectives) relate to the career and professional accomplishments of passed out students after their graduation from the program. However, keeping the significance of contribution of the curriculum and the assessment opportunities such as examination and evaluation results, placement data, employer feedback and higher education entrance performance etc. are taken as tools for supplementary evidence to assess PEOs.

The program educational objectives of the undergraduate program in mining engineering take into consideration the university mission and the constituents’ needs by producing graduates who will be able to:

• PEO 1-To develop graduates with technical knowledge, skill & competency in core mining fundamentals with special emphasis on blasting, mine planning, designing, execution and monitoring of various mining processes and systems.
• PEO 2- To prepare the graduates to enter careers in PSUs or employed in leading companies in mining or related fields to achieve professional growth.
• PEO 3- To exhibit the professional skills such as effective communication, leadership and team spirit in their choosen career and recognize the ethical & moral responsibilities to make informed judgment considering the impact of engineering solutions in economic , environmental & societal contexts.
• PEO 4- To demonstrate an understanding of the critical role mining engineers plays in society with respect to health, safety, and the environment in tangible ways such as achieving professional licensure.
• PEO 5 -To pursue lifelong learning or acquire advanced degree in mining related field to assimilate new information and exposure to cutting edge technology.
