applications background, whose analytical, design and laboratory experiences and<br />

communication skills make them attractive to industry both in local and international<br />

set- ups.<br />

PG-2: Equip graduates <strong>with</strong> abilities to work logically, accurately, ethically and efficiently,<br />

generate new knowledge, ideas or products and implement these solutions in practice,<br />

and to enhance their careers through life-long learning; whether through learning from<br />

others, self-study, continuing education courses or workshops, or through formal<br />

graduate level education and encourage others to have this same motivation.<br />

PG-3: Provide technical expertise and training to industry and government agencies, support for<br />

high quality faculty research to contribute to the expansion of knowledge and ensure<br />

high quality education, set and maintain the program’s regional and international<br />

reputation.<br />

Program Educational Objectives<br />

Consistent <strong>with</strong> its commitment to provide its graduates <strong>with</strong> a solid foundation in mathematical,<br />

scientific and mechanical engineering broad-based knowledge, systematic thinking and effective<br />

communication skills, and develop their engineering creativity and curiosity, professional ethics,<br />

as well as an environmental and a societal consciousness that will serve them throughout their<br />

lifetime, graduates of the Mechanical Engineering Program at <strong>ALHOSN</strong> <strong>University</strong> are expected<br />

to be able to:<br />

PEO-1: Pursue successful careers as mechanical engineers and/or advanced studies in<br />

mechanical engineering or related fields.<br />

PEO-2: Use their broad base of knowledge and systematic thinking to be creative and effective<br />

problems solvers; design, analyze, test, and implement mechanical systems and<br />

processes.<br />

PEO-3: Communicate effectively <strong>with</strong> a wide range of audiences, use modern engineering<br />

tools, perform well in (multidisciplinary) teams, have a commitment to life- long<br />

learning and motivation towards continued professional development.<br />

PEO-4: Commit to the highest standards of ethical practice, understand the social, cultural and<br />

global environment, and serve society effectively.<br />

PEO-5: Research, acquire, use the tools and skills necessary for promoting diverse, healthy<br />

and sustainable industrial/economic endeavors.<br />

Program Outcomes<br />

The undergraduate Mechanical Engineering curriculum includes a foundation of mathematics, physics,<br />

and chemistry. Engineering courses in fundamental areas constitute the core of the remaining<br />

curriculum. Several technical electives allow the undergraduate student to specialize somewhat or to<br />

pursue broader understanding. An internship program embeds the junior students to real-world<br />

working engineering environments. A senior capstone design experience culminates the curriculum.<br />

The articulated BSME program outcomes shall lead to the satisfaction of all program educational<br />

objectives and embed ABET outcomes (a-k) and the mechanical engineering program criteria. Upon<br />

completion of AHU Mechanical Engineering Program, graduates shall have:<br />

PO-A: an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics (including multivariable calculus, differential<br />

equations, linear algebra and statistics), science (including chemistry and in-depth calculusbased<br />

physics) and engineering fundamentals to mechanical engineering problems [ABET<br />

(a)]<br />

PO-B: an ability to design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret data<br />

[ABET (b)]<br />

PO-C: an ability to design thermal and mechanical systems, component or processes to meet<br />

desired needs <strong>with</strong>in realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social,<br />

political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability [ABET (c)]<br />

PO-D: an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams in professional settings, as individual<br />
