The department has introduced a system of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) to enhance the quality and effectiveness of educational process for the B.Sc. Transportation Engineering program. The CQI is our ongoing process that evaluates the Outcome Based Education (OBE) implementation through a closed loop PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle. The implementation of CQI plan is also an essential requirement of the OBE system by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) for accreditation of program and to improve quality of education. Improvements in teaching, assessment and evaluation processes are continuously carried out to obtain the improved achievement of CLOs, PLOs and PEOs of the undergraduate program. This continuous assessment and enhanced process has enabled the department to regularly review academic standards and relevant outcomes and help in facilitating the improvements of academic program.

CQI cycle

The OBE system starts with planning/defining Program Educational Objectives (PEOs), Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). Also, curriculum is designed that is consistent with and support development of the range ofintellectual, practical, and affective skills through attainment or achievement of the PLOs. Furthermore, assessment tools are defined to measure the attainment level of CLOs, PLOs and PEOs.

PEOs of our undergraduate program are in line with the Vision, Mission, and Core values of the University and Mission of the department. PEOs are identified and refined by the program in consultation with all the stakeholders (employers, alumni, industry advisors and faculty) in view of the mission of the department and the university. PEOs achievement is assessed through surveys from employers and alumni after 5 years of graduation. The following are the PEOs for the session 2021 and onwards.

PEO1: Actively engage in problem solving to address the evolving transportation needs of society for sustainable development.

PEO2: Become sound professionals in transportation field or pursue advanced education with lifelong learning objectives.

PEO3: Demonstrate commitment in serving the profession and society with sense of responsibility, ethics, leadership, and teamwork.

PLOs are the attributes that specify the fundamental knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes that students will develop over the four years of Transportation Engineering degree program. The PLOs are mapped with PEOs. The achievement of PLOs is evaluated through direct assessment of the students PLO attainment level using CLO-PLO mapping for each subject.

CLOs are the skills learnt by the students at the end of each course in the program. The achievement of CLO for all courses contributes to the overall achievement of the PLOs and PEOs. The courses are designed of lectures, labs, assignments, and semester projects according to the required CLOs. Furthermore, CLOs are assessed through examinations, tests, quizzes, reports, and presentation in each course at the end of semester.
