DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

PONDICHERRY ENGINEERING COLLEGE

B.Tech in Mechatronics Engineering

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOs)

PEO1	The Mechatronics programme will prepare graduates to synergistically integrate mechanical engineering with electronic and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacture of industrial products and processes.
PEO2	The programme will prepare graduates with strong team skills to solve multi disciplinary problems using Mechatronics approach.
PEO3	To encourage a majority of our graduates to pursue advanced studies in thrust areas of Mechatronics engineering and to carry out scientific, industrial and defense research and development so as to meet/satisfy current requirements in respective sectors (Higher Studies).
PEO4	To prepare our graduates to improve their self-reliant capabilities, soft skills, leadership qualities which would help in building their own careers and make them become successful entrepreneurs to serve the nation and the society responsibly and ethically (Entrepreneurship).
PEO5	To familiarize our graduates with international and national codes and standards for good engineering practice in core and interdisciplinary fields and to help them evolve sustainable development in technological sphere with greater emphasis on mitigation of environmental impact (Professional Ethics).
