Nuclear Engineering Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
The objectives of the Nuclear Engineering undergraduate program are to produce graduates who are capable of:
- Apply and build on their knowledge to achieve furtherance and satisfaction in their chosen career or profession and to pursue post-graduate studies in disciplines related, but not limited, to nuclear engineering.
- Conduct themselves with top-level professional and ethical standards undertaking risk management, security, safety, environmental and economic challenges to help meet the manpower needs of our country, region, and international community.
- Engage in life-long learning and keep abreast of new developments in nuclear engineering through fruitful utilization of national current and future nuclear facilities, professional development and continuous education.
- Employ their analytical and communication skills to demonstrate solid leadership, innovate solutions, and work under pressure effectively within multi-disciplinary teams.

Students Learning Outcomes (SOs)
To achieve its key objectives, the Nuclear Engineering program is designed to ensure that our graduating students achieve the following outcomes:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- 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.
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- 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.
- 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.
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
