Which program gaps does the engine detect?

It audits for Orphaned Outcomes (a Program Outcome with zero courses mapped to it across the 4-year degree plan), Over-Saturation (a single PO mapped by 95% of courses, causing assessment redundancy), and Correlation Weakness (courses that claim to map to a PO but lack the L4/L5 level assessments needed to prove attainment).

How many Program Outcomes does the system map?

The Program Architecture works with the standard set of 12 POs, including PO1 Engineering Knowledge, PO2 Problem Analysis, PO3 Design/Development of Solutions, and PO4 Conduct Investigations.

Academic Intelligence Engine

Program Outcome Mapping

Elevate from courses to entire programs. Establish a strategic, institutional hierarchy that maps every granular academic action to high-level graduate attributes.

Structural Alignment

The Program Architecture

PO1

Engineering Knowledge

Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization.

Fully Mapped

PO2

Problem Analysis

Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems.

PO3

Design/Development of Solutions

Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes.

PO4

Conduct Investigations

Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data.

Data Aggregation

From Granular to Global

Program Outcomes cannot be measured directly through a single test. They represent overarching graduate attributes that take years to develop.

The AI engine establishes a hierarchical dependency tree. It aggregates thousands of micro-assessments (COs) across multiple semesters, automatically rolling them up to calculate the overall attainment of high-level Program Outcomes.

Hierarchy Construction

Framework Import

Select institutional or accreditation-specific PO frameworks (e.g. Washington Accord, NBA).

Semantic Mapping

AI reads all department syllabi and suggests strong, moderate, or weak links to each PO.

Matrix Lock

The Dean/HOD reviews the AI suggestions and locks the official CO-PO correlation matrix.

Strategic Auditing

Identifying Program Gaps

Once the hierarchy is mapped, the engine immediately audits the program for structural weaknesses before a single student takes a class.

Orphaned Outcomes

Detects if a Program Outcome (e.g., "Ethics") has zero courses mapped to it across the entire 4-year degree plan.

Fix Required

Over-Saturation

Identifies if a single PO (e.g., "Engineering Knowledge") is being mapped by 95% of courses, causing assessment redundancy.

Rebalance Suggested

Correlation Weakness

Highlights courses that claim to map to a PO, but lack the L4/L5 level assessments necessary to actually prove attainment.
