This program aims to prepare technicians capable of operating water desalination units utilizing multi stage flash distillation system (MSF) as well as desalination units that operate under the theory of reverse osmosis (RO) to produce distilled water, which are distributed throughout the State of Kuwait, as well as operating the auxiliary equipment and systems attached to these stations.
A. Program Educational ObjectivesThe Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) support the mission of the institution. Since 2009, the Program Educational Objectives have been published as part of the official program documentation on our online site and in department brochures The Distillation and Reverse Osmosis Operation Program at HIE expects the graduates within a few years (2-3 years) of graduation to attain the following: Be effective in the operation , follow-up ,design and supervise the installation of distillation and reverse osmosis plant with application of up-to-date engineering technology and to highest quality. Effectively work within team, cooperate, communicate, show flexibility, and demonstrate ethical behavior. An ability to apply engineering knowledge, up-to-date technology and utilize modern tools to identify, analyze and solve technical problemsB. Student outcome
As part of the continues improvement of the program outcomes and objectives and to get closer to the ABET ETAC accreditation requirement the department decided early 2012 to adapt the same student outcomes as listed in ABET student outcomes criterion 3 namely:
a. An ability to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined engineering technology activities
b. An ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge
c. An ability to conduct standard tests and measurements, and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments
d. An ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team
e. An ability to identify, analyze, and solve narrowly defined engineering technology problems
f. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature
g. An understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development
h. An understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity
