Introduction

The Department of Architecture Technology is established to educate and train learners to respond,
to new challenges in the building sector through architectural engineering technology and other related disciplinary areas. It offers a four-year bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering technology. This
program focuses on detailed design and construction decisions for new and existing buildings and
their immediate surroundings with a greater emphasis on technological, engineering, and environmental aspects. Its curriculum is designed to provide the knowledge and skills required in understanding, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating design, technology, management, and
practice. It will also advance the architectural management proficiency of the learners by bringing
together all aspects of the design process, from concept through to completion. Incessant site visits,
projects, and internships will make graduates more responsive to the architecture, engineering and
technological requirements.

Mission

To provide quality education with an innovative & multi-disciplinary approach to produce architectural
technologists of high caliber, technical skills, and ethical values to meet the industry challenges and
societal demands.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

PEO 1: To become practicing technologists with hands-on experience in solving application-oriented problems
related to the core areas of architectural engineering technology and other related disciplinary fields.

PEO 2: To exhibit the social and ethical responsibilities in their professional careers for sustainable development.

PEO 3: To demonstrate leadership qualities through professional development and higher education in their
chosen fields of specialization related to architectural engineering technology.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

The twelve PLOs, as recommended by the NTC, for B.Sc. Mechanical Engineering Technology Program are:

  1. Engineering Technology Knowledge (SA1/PLO1): An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, Engineering Technology fundamentals and Engineering Technology specialization to defined and applied Engineering Technology procedures, processes, systems or methodologies.
  2. Problem Analysis (SA2/PLO2): An ability to Identify, formulate, research literature and analyze broadly-defined Engineering Technology problems reaching substantiated conclusions using analytical tools appropriate to the discipline or area of specialization.
  3. Design/Development of Solutions (SA3/PLO3): An ability to design solutions for broadly- defined Engineering Technology problems and contribute to the design of systems, components or processes to meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
  4. Investigation (SA4/PLO4): An ability to conduct investigations of broadly-defined problems; locate, search and select relevant data from codes, data bases and literature, design and conduct experiments to provide valid conclusions.
  5. Modern Tool Usage (SA5//PLO5): An ability to Select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern technology and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to broadly-defined Engineering Technology problems, with an understanding of the limitations.
  6. The Engineering Technologist and Society (SA6/PLO6): An ability to demonstrate understanding of the societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to Engineering Technology practice and solutions to broadly defined Engineering Technology problems.
  7. Environment and Sustainability (SA7/PLO7): An ability to understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of Engineering Technology work in the solution of broadly defined Engineering Technology problems in societal and environmental contexts.
  8. Ethics (SA8/PLO8): Understand and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of Engineering Technology practice.
  9. Individual and Team Work (SA9/PLO9): An ability to Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams.
  10. Communication (SA10/PLO10): An ability to communicate effectively on broadly defined Engineering Technology activities with the Engineering Technologist community and with society at large, by being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
  11. Project Management (SA11/PLO11): An ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Engineering Technology management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member or leader in a team and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
  12. Lifelong Learning (SA12//PLO12): An ability to recognize the need for and have the ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in specialist Engineering Technologies.

PLOs are dully published in the department, on the university profile as well as on the university website.
