PEOs - Program Educational Objectives

1. Graduates will pursue professional career in Environmental Engineering or in related fields on national or international level
2. Graduates will be successfully practicing their profession in the public or private sector to meet the needs of the society
3. Graduates will be self-improving engineers through their professional development in environmental engineering or other diverse fields

SOs – Student Outcomes (1 to 7)

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
