Program Outcome

PO1: Core Scientific Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, biological sciences, chemistry, and engineering fundamentals to solve complex problems in biotechnology.

PO2: Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex biological and bioprocess engineering problems to reach substantiated conclusions.

PO3: Design/Development of Solutions: Design solutions for complex biotechnological challenges and develop bio-systems, products, or processes that meet specific needs with appropriate consideration for public health, safety, and environmental impact.

PO4: Conduct Investigations of Complex Problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods—including the design of experiments, analysis, and interpretation of biological data—to provide valid conclusions.

PO5: Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools (including bioinformatics and bioprocess modeling) to complex biotechnological activities, understanding their limitations.

PO6: The Biotechnologist and Society: Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional biotechnology practice.

PO7: Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of biotechnological solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for, sustainable development (e.g., bio-remediation, green bio-manufacturing).

PO8: Bioethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities, and norms of biotechnological practice, particularly concerning clinical trials, genetic manipulation, and animal/human testing.

PO9: Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings (bridging biology, chemistry, and engineering).

PO10: Communication: Communicate effectively on complex scientific activities with the scientific community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports, design documentation, and make effective presentations.

PO11: Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of biotechnology management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments (including bio-entrepreneurship).

PO12: Life-long Learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of rapid technological change in the life sciences.
