PO1: Technical knowledge: Project work improves the knowledge of students
about Machine Design as the allotted topics are based on the Machine
Design field.

PO2: Technical report writing: For executing the project work and compilation
of the data, the presentation of results a technical report writing skill is
required. Therefore, project work develops the technical report writing
skill in the students.

PO3: Demonstrate a degree of mastery: The execution of project work and

compilation of the data, a planning is required. Therefore, project work
develops the planning ability in students. Students analyze, evaluate and
apply the collected information /data systematically and on that basis
make defensible decisions.

PO4: Professional ethics and responsibilities: While writing project report,

students are instructed to follow ethical practice by directing them to
avoid plagiarism and citing the works of other researchers properly in the
text.

PO5: Life-long learning: Execution of the project work develops the ability in
the students to continuously update their knowledge through internet
portals, journals, text books, reference books. They come to know via
internet that information has been continuously modified and not remain
limited to text books, and therefore, updating the knowledge on the
regular basis is essential.
