scientific research, demonstrate a capacity for self-management and teamwork, decisionmaking based on open-mindedness, objectivity and rational analysis in order to achieve common
goals and further the learning of themselves as well as others.
7. Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering
and management principles and apply the same to ones own work, as a member and leader in
a team, manage projects efficiently in respective disciplines and multidisciplinary environments
after consideration of economic and financial factors.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are broad statements that describe the career and
professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve. They must be
consistent with the mission of the institution and Department. Department faculty members must
continuously work with stakeholders (local employers, industry and RD advisors, and the alumni) to
review the PEOs and update them periodically. The number of PEOs should be manageable and
small in number, say 4+1, and should be achievable by the program.

PEO1.

mechanical systems.

PEO2.

Develop schematic and mathematical models to analyze physical systems under

different environments.

PEO3.
