UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
GOAL, OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES

The goal of the program is to develop and offer a comprehensive and broad curriculum in science and engineering that prepares a student, upon graduation, to efficiently perform engineering tasks in the ocean environment or to successfully pursue higher studies and research in engineering.

1. Preparation for Practice: The graduates will be fully prepared to carry out entry-level engineering tasks in the multi-disciplinary field of ocean engineering.
2. Contributions to the Field: The graduates will be trained to make lasting contributions in terms of design, development and integration of engineering systems particularly for applications in the ocean environment.
3. Pursuit of Higher Degrees and Life-Long Learning: The students will be provided with an educational experience that will motivate them to pursue graduate studies and research in ocean-related disciplines of engineering and applied sciences and to engage in life-long learning.
4. Leadership Qualities: The undergraduate curriculum and the academic environment of the department will inculcate in students qualities necessary to assume leadership in industry, government and other professional organizations related to ocean engineering.
5. Societal Awareness: The graduates will be aware of various complexities and issues of contemporary society, particularly those related to ocean resources and ocean environment, and will seek to make professional contributions in the larger and long-term interest of society.
