COURSE OUTCOME
At the end of this course, the incumbent will be able to:
-
Remembering: Exhibit memory of previously learned material by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts, and answers.
Describe how different electronic tools, various parameters & variables of fundamental physics related to the program. To overcome & eliminate different constraints those may arises by solving the physical and numerical problems.
-
Understanding: Demonstrate understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating main ideas.
Overall achievement of innovative problems solving ability by enhancing the power of understanding, knowledge and imagination.
-
Applying: Solve problems to new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way.
Apply the knowledge in current research works and publications in various journals and literature of the subjects in different fields adopted by the students as per course curriculum
-
Analyzing: Examine and break information into parts by identifying motives or causes. Make inferences and find evidence to support generalizations.
Describe how the ideas those are adopted can be implemented through projects and demonstrate various models, recent project proposals to execute the knowledge adopted from the course.
-
Evaluating: Present and defend opinions by making judgments about information, validity of ideas, or quality of work based on a set of criteria.
Define how the ideas can be share with the multi - disciplinary personals. Lighten on the latest and modern developments in the fields.
-
Creating: Compile information together in a different way by combining elements in a new pattern or proposing alternative solutions.
At last students should compile all the knowledge those they acquired from the course and apply to industry, academia, and research keeping in the mind about ethical awareness and impact in the field of environmental (pollution), social (legal) and safety.
