Course Outcomes

CO CO Description
CO1 Understand research problem formulation.
CO2 Analyse research related information.
CO3 Follow research ethics.
CO4 Understand that today’s world is controlled by Computer, Information Technology, but tomorrow world will be ruled by ideas, concept, and creativity.
CO5 Understanding that when IPR would take such important place in growth of individuals & nation, it is needless to emphasis the need of information about Intellectual Property Right to be promoted among students in general & engineering in particular.
CO6 Understand that IPR protection provides an incentive to inventors for further research work and investment in R & D, which leads to creation of new and better products, and in turn brings about,economic growth and social benefits.
