To produce mining engineers who are highly competent, demonstrate leadership, and make a difference in their chosen profession

The educational objectives of the program are to graduate engineers who, within a few years of graduation, will serve as:

practicing mining engineering in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or elsewhere

ethical engineers, and value human life and environment

professionals on path to leadership in their profession

Student outcomes are narrower statements that describe what the students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that the students acquire in their matriculation through the program. Upon completion of the BS in Mining Sciences & Engineering program, the graduate would have attained the following:

an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

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.

an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

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.

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.

an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
