Student Outcomes Based on Learning Experience
KAU Engineering programs of study are designed to give students a learning experience which allows them to progressively build up a set of competencies that ultimately help them achieve the educational objectives of their academic program. To facilitate this, the Faculty of Engineering has adopted the complete ABET student outcomes criteria. These student outcomes are explicitly included in the learning outcomes of all engineering programs, in addition to any other outcomes stipulated by the program for the achievement of its unique educational objectives.
The outcomes describe expected student competencies, namely what they would know and be able to do by the time of graduation. Students are expected to relate their abilities to the attitudes, skills and knowledge acquired through the engineering program. KAU Engineering programs provide students with a learning experience that enables them to build up the following skills and abilities:
|
(a)
|
an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
|
|
(b)
|
an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyse and interpret data
|
|
(c)
|
an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability
|
|
(d)
|
an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
|
|
(e)
|
an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
|
|
(f)
|
an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
|
|
(g)
|
an ability to communicate effectively
|
|
(h)
|
the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
|
|
(i)
|
a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
|
|
(j)
|
a knowledge of contemporary issues
|
|
(k)
|
an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
|
|
 It is the responsibility of each engineering program to have one or more processes that identify, collect, and prepare data to evaluate the achievement of these outcomes by the time of graduation. Each program must also have one or more processes to interpret the data and evidences accumulated through the assessment practices to determine the extent to which the eleven outcomes are being attained, and to take decisions and actions to improve the program accordingly.
