PROGRAM LEVEL
The program comprises a total of 138 credit hours reasonably distributed over eight semesters. It is developed to equip students with the necessary tools to fulfill their assignments and responsibilities as process instrumentation and control engineers. It consists of courses which can be classified into three main categories as follows: General Sciences, Engineering Sciences and General Education. The undergraduate program includes two laboratory courses, namely Process Instrumentation/Control Lab I and Process Instrumentation/Control Lab II. Students conduct experiments on process variables and properties measurements and empirical chemical processes modeling in Lab I. In Lab II, they conduct experiments on computer based automatic process control; control valves characteristics and composition measurements.
The program also includes one period of summer training of two-month duration at the end of the third year. The students are placed in relevant industrial companies to gain additional practical experience. In the second and fourth years, students also undertake junior and senior projects, respectively. Both projects emphasize independent learning and teamwork. Field trips are also arranged through the courses in coordination with the relevant industrial companies.

- Engage in ongoing professional development activities by pursuing graduate studies and /or other learning opportunitie.
- Advance in responsibility and leadership in their careers.
PROGRAM INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
a) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
b) 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.
c) An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
g) An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
