UNIVERSITI TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN
Programme Outcomes (POs)
The Programme Outcomes refer to the attributes that students should possess at the
point of their graduation. The following are the list of Programme Outcomes for
Chemical Engineering (Process) programme:
Effective Intake: Existing intake before Jan 2025
1. Engineering Knowledge – Apply fundamental knowledge of science,
engineering, mathematics, and computing, with an engineering focus in
developing solutions to complex engineering problems.
2. Problem Analysis – Identify, study, formulate, research literature and
analyse complex engineering problems based on systematic approach and
leading to authenticated conclusions, with holistic considerations for
sustainable development.
3. Design/Development of Solutions – Devise creative solutions for complex
engineering problems and design systems, components or processes to
meet identified needs by taking into consideration cost-effectiveness, public
health and safety, whole-life cost, net zero carbon as well as resource,
cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Investigation – Conduct investigation of complex engineering problems using
research methods including research-based knowledge, including design of
experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information
to provide valid conclusions.
5. Modern Tool Usage – Create, select and apply, and recognize limitation of
appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools,
including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering problems.
6. The Engineer and Society – Apply appropriate knowledge in the evaluation
and assessment of subject matters pertinent to the professional engineering
practice with considerations of public health and safety, community welfare
and cultural perspectives as well as legal, moral and ethical responsibilities.
7. Environment and Sustainability – Recognise the significance of sustainable
development when devising professional solutions to engineering problems
with a clear understanding and pro-active considerations of economy and
environmental concerns as well as needs for eco-friendly continual growth for
local and global community.
8. Ethics – Apply professional virtues and principles with strong commitment to
moral and ethical responsibilities, demonstrate an understanding of the need
for diversity and inclusion, and adhere to the relevant national and
international laws
9. Communication – Communicate effectively and inclusively on complex
engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at
large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and
design documentation, make effective presentations, taking into account
cultural, language, and learning differences.
10. Individual and Team Work – Function effectively as an individual, and as a
member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams and in multidisciplinary, face
to face, remote and distributed settings.
11. Life Long Learning – Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and
ability for i) independent and lifelong learning ii) adaptability to new and
emerging technologies and iii) critical thinking in the broadest context of
technological change.
12. Project Management and Finance – Apply knowledge and understanding of
engineering management principles and economic decision making and apply
these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, and to manage
projects in multidisciplinary environments.
