The vision of Pir Mehr Ali Shah (PMAS) Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi is to produce high quality agricultural scientists and to form an organized scientific infrastructure for teaching and research for the development of dry land regions of the country, thus minimizing the income gap between rich and poor.

The mission of the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering and Technology is to teach, train and produce high quality engineering graduates to solve problems in agriculture specially focus on dry land/rainfed regions through research, development and adoption of precise engineering technologies and automation to improve the livelihood of farming community.

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE- 1 (PEO-1)

To equip the graduates with engineering knowledge and skills required for analysis and investigation of engineering problems related to agriculture specially focus on dry land/rainfed regions.

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE- 2 (PEO-2)

The graduates capable of using modern engineering and IT tools for design and development of solutions for automation and precision to improve the efficiency and efficacy in agriculture.

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE- 3 (PEO-3)

The graduates having ethical, professional and societal responsibilities and commitments to effectively communicate the engineering solutions to improve the livelihood of farming community.

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE- 4 (PEO-4)

Graduated alumni with management skills for successful planning and execution of research and development projects related to land, water, farm structures, environment, energy, mechanization and precision in agriculture in rainfed/dry land regions.

Program outcomes are the narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills and attitude that the students acquire while progressing through the program. Specifically, it is to be demonstrated that the students have acquired the following graduate attributes (GAs):

PLO1 – ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE

An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

PLO2 – PROBLEM ANALYSIS

An ability to identify, formulate, search literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using principles of mathematics, natural and engineering sciences.

PLO3 – DESIGN/DEVELOPMENT OF SOLUTIONS

An ability to design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

PLO4 – INVESTIGATION

An ability to investigate complex engineering problems in a methodical way including literature survey, design and conduct of experiments, analysis and interpretation of experimental data, and synthesis of information to derive firm conclusions.

PLO5 – MODERN TOOL USAGE

An ability to create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, to complex engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.

PLO6 – THE ENGINEER AND SOCIETY

An ability to apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solution to complex engineering problems.

PLO7 – ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY
