4 organizations, and humanitarian endeavors. Our student outcomes are what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of their graduation: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of math, science, and engineering (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as interpret data (c) an ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability (d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (f) an understanding of ethical and professional responsibility (g) an ability to communicate effectively (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context (i) a recognition of need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues (k) an ability to use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice Revised 8/28/13 Course Objectives Matrix CE 361 Solid and Hazardous Waste Engineering Strategies and Actions Student Learning Objectives Student Outcomes (a-k) Program Educational Objectives Assessment Methods/Metrics Course Objective 1: Provide the students the student with a basic knowledge in mass balance, mass transfer, and thermodynamics Illustrate mass balance and mass transfer Introduce risk assessment Review thermodynamics Understand basic principles Learn the concept of risk due to pollution Co-relate the application with theoretical concept Course Objective 2: Understand the principles and results of air pollution Introduce air pollutants, Clean Air Act, and air pollution sources Develop point source plume model Explain global warming and ozone depletion Learn concepts as well as application to typical air pollution problems.
