Course Outcomes

CO-PO Mapping

Justification of CO-PO Mapping

CO1 strongly maps to PO1, PO2 as they require basic engineering knowledge and problem analysis skills to solve problems involving the compositions of solids, liquids, gases. Operations in which handling gases, gas mixtures and chemical conversions involving gases are quite common in chemical process industries.CO2 and CO3 evolves with the formulation of material balance equations for various unit operations with and without chemical reactions. The calculations involving the quantities of the material requirement in such processes as well as the effect of operating parameters are dealt by chemical engineers. Material balances helps in the planning and design of processes, control and optimization. In order to produce an end product from the given raw materials and for an appropriate choice of the process, it is important to estimate the material requirement.CO2 to CO4 maps strongly to PO5 with credit 2 as we could make use of software tools to solve material balance equations.CO2 and CO3 strongly maps to PO1 to PO4 and PSO1, PSO2 as they need to design, analyze and develop solutions for problems related to unit operations and processes.CO4 involves complex calculations where multiple units are considered and is mapped strongly with PSO2 apart from PO1to PO4.
