To this end, each course in the program has identified some specific number of measurable CLOs.

These CLOs are mapped to the PLOs (Annex S2-2-2-1 Program Specification, page No. 24-27). This

process of CLOs-PLOs mapping is carried out for each course in the department and faculty.
The mappings are made by each course team or course coordinator of the course in consultation

with the quality and academic accreditation committee of the mechanical engineering

department.
This process is technically supported by the curriculum committee and finally approved by the

mechanical engineering department council. This a highly dynamic process conducted annually

based on previous Course Report (CR), Annual Program Report (APR) and any suggestions and

recommendations from the curriculum committee matrix (Annex S2-2-2-3 Minutes of the

Mechanical Engineering Department Council No.7, 1440/41H).
The distribution of topics based on CLOs; selection of instructional methods consider the weight

of theoretical and applied aspects and all these are finally reflected in the course specification

and the timetable. The level of the program, according to current version of PS the program PLOs
are divided into three domains as follows: (Annex S2-2-2-1 Program Specification, page No.12-

13).

• Knowledge domain: In this domain there is only three PLO (27.28% of all PLOs).

• Skill domain: It contain five PLOs, which account 45.44% of total PLOs of which 2 of them

are related to higher cognitive skills that can be added to theoretical part of the
curriculum.

• Values domain: contain three PLOs 27.28%).

Sequence of the Curriculum content:

The sequence is the order in which the information is presented to the student. How to sequence

the curriculum depends on the development of the students cognitively. The current curriculum

sequencing approach is based on Pre-requisite learning, which is a form of sequencing in which

certain knowledge must come before more advanced knowledge. This is clearly stated in the
study plan table and program description. For example, Machine Design1 course is pre-requisite

for Machine Design2 course as evident in program specification: (Annex 2.2.2.1, Program

Specification, Page No. 20-24).
