Course Outcome:

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

(1) Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal
and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the Electronics engineering
practice.

(2) Understand the impact of the Electronics engineering solutions in societal and environmental
contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.

(3) Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of
the Electronics engineering practice

(4) Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in
multidisciplinary settings

(5) Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community
and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design
documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

(6) Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-
long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
