3. State the process for defining the Vision and Mission of the Department, and PEOs of the program (15)

1. Process for defining the Vision and Mission of the Department:

Vision and Mission of the Department are defined through a consultation process involving the stakeholders of the Department.

In defining the Vision and Mission of the Department, the following steps were followed:

Step 1: Vision and Mission of the Institute are taken as basis.

Step 2: Views are collected by the Program Coordinator from stakeholders of the Department such as faculty, Industry, Management, Parents, Alumni, Professional members.

Step 3: The views collected by the Program Coordinator are reviewed by the Department Advisory Committee to arrive at the Vision and Mission of the Departmen with Institute’s Vision and Mission.

Step 4: The finalized Vision & Mission Statements were disseminated to stakeholders

B. Process for defining the PEOs of the Department

 

Opinions of the stakeholders have been obtained through deliberations to evolve the PEOs. The vision and mission statements of the department are the foundation educational objectives.

Stage 1: Brainstorming sessions to define the PEOs were conducted.

Stage 2: Benchmarking of defined PEOs was done.

Stage 3: Feedbacks from the Stakeholders were taken.

Stage 4: Feedbacks from the experts were taken and modifications based upon feedbacks were done.

1. Establish Consistency of PEOs with Mission of the Department (15)

1. Matrix of PEOs and elements of Mission statement

PEOs and Mission Mapping:

M1. To teach the core basics of mechanical engineering through modern methods so that students truly understand how things work..

M2. To bridge the gap between academia and industry by fostering creativity, self-confidence, and a competitive spirit through hands-on training and industry collaboration

M3. To instill ethical values and social responsibility in students, encouraging them to develop sustainable engineering solutions that contribute to state and national progress.

Note: M1, M2 and M3 are distinct elements of Mission statement

Table 1 Correlations between PEOs and Mission Elements

* Correlation Levels:

1: Slight (Low) 2: Moderate (Medium) 3: Substantial (High)

 

2. Consistency of co-relation parameters of the above matrix justification

Table 2 Justifications between PEOs and Mission Element

PEOs	M1	M2	M3
PEO1:	High Correlation (3): directly depends on strong fundamentals and effective teaching–learning processes to build technical competence. This correlation is high (3) as they directly support each other.	Moderate Correlation (2): Technical competence supports industry readiness through hands-on training and professional exposure.  they are moderately correlated (2) with the implementation of mechanical engineering principles across sectors. While they can enhance students ability to innovate, they might not be the primary focus in all sectors.	Relatively low correlation (1) While indirect, technically skilled diploma engineers contribute to safe and reliable systems that support societal and national needs.
PEO2:	Moderate Correlation (2): There is a moderate correlation (2) between Academic learning strengthens analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills essential for professional growth.	Strong Correlation (3): This PEO strongly aligns with bridging academia and industry through skill development, teamwork, and industry collaboration.	Moderate Correlation (2): Employable graduates contribute to workforce development and economic growth, benefiting society.
PEO3:	Medium Correlation (2): There is a medium  correlation (2) between Ethical values and safety awareness are incorporated through laboratory work, coursework, and instruction.	Moderate Correlation (2): Professional training promotes ethical conduct, workplace safety, and responsible engineering practices.	High Correlation (3): This PEO strongly supports societal welfare and sustainable development, aligning directly with national progress goals.
