Program Learning Outcomes - Energy Engineering

By the end of the program, students graduating will be able to:

• Apply knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering science, and engineering design to identify, formulate, analyze, and solve problems.
• Describe and apply the engineering design process to energy system design problems, learn and quantify the environmental impacts of energy, system implementation practices, performance assessment and evaluation, impact assessment methodologies, carbon capturing and reduction technologies, cleaner energy solutions, comparative evaluation of energy options.
• Use computer-aided engineering software tools to solve problems and to acquire and process data.
• Demonstrate strong independent learning and analytical skills and be an effective member of multidisciplinary and multi-cultural teams, either as a team member or as a project manager.
• Communicate effectively in written, spoken, and visual form with both technical experts and with members of the general public on engineering matters.
• Recognize and describe the value of alternative outlooks that people from various social, ethnic and religious backgrounds, as well as professions, may bring to energy engineering, understand and apply various knowledge and methodologies for design, analysis and assessment purposes, social, environmental and economic impact assessments.
• Demonstrate an appreciation for the importance of new and emerging energy technologies, and the strategies and policies available for lifelong learning, learn and apply the social, environmental, ethical, economic and sustainability dimensions for better engineering practices.
