PO7: Ethical and Professional Practices Understand and apply ethical considerations in biological research and the practical application of zoological knowledge in industry, conservation, and public health. B. Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs) Upon completion of the Zoology program, students will: 1. PSO1: Mastery in Animal Taxonomy and Classification Demonstrate a deep understanding of animal taxonomy, classification systems, and evolutionary principles, focusing on chordates, non-chordates, and other animal groups. 2. PSO2: Understanding of Animal Physiology and Biochemistry Gain advanced knowledge of animal physiology, biochemistry, and cell biology, and apply this knowledge to understand the functioning of various systems in animals. 3. PSO3: Advanced Molecular Biology Techniques Demonstrate proficiency in molecular biology techniques, including PCR, gel electrophoresis, gene cloning, and bioinformatics tools to study genetics and cellular processes. 4. PSO4: Awareness of Environmental and Ecological Issues Analyze ecological principles and environmental issues, such as climate change, habitat loss, and biodiversity conservation, with a focus on their implications for wildlife and ecosystems. 5. PSO5: Practical and Applied Zoology Develop hands-on expertise in zoology through laboratory courses and fieldwork, with practical knowledge in sericulture, apiculture, wildlife conservation, and public health.
