Mechanical Engineering Technology (Refrigeration & Air Conditioning) encompasses a range of knowledge disciplines aimed at designing, installing, maintaining, and optimizing HVACR systems to provide comfortable indoor environments while maximizing energy efficiency and sustainability.
Programme Educational Objectives (PEO) are specific goals describing expected achievements of graduates in their career and professional life after graduation. Below are the PEO for the Faculty of Engineering Technology.
PEO1Â Graduates who are able to practice the knowledge in Mechanical Engineering Technology (Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Systems).
PEO2Â Graduates who are able to engage with continuous development and adapt to evolving technologies.
PEO3Â Graduates who are able to adapt professional ethics and leadership to meet the needs of the society.
Programme Outcomes (PO) are what students are expected to be able to perform or attain by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviour that students acquire through the programme.
Upon completion of this program, graduate should be able to:
PO1 – Engineering Knowledge
Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, computing and engineering fundamentals and engineering specialization principles to defined and applied engineering procedures, processes, systems or methodologies in the field of Mechanical Engineering Technology (Refrigeration and Air Conditioning System).
PO2 – Problem Analysis
Ability to identify, formulate, research literature and analyse broadly-defined engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using analytical tools with considerations for sustainable development appropriate to Mechanical Engineering Technology (Refrigeration and Air Conditioning System).
PO3 – Design/Development of Solutions
Ability to design solutions for broadly-defined engineering technology problems and contribute to the design of systems, components or processes to meet identified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, whole-life cost, net zero carbon as well as resource, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
PO4 – Investigation
Ability to conduct investigations of broadly-defined engineering problems; locate, search and select relevant data from codes, data bases and literature, design and conduct experiments to provide valid conclusions.
PO5 – Tool Usage
Ability to select and apply, and recognize limitations of appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to broadly-defined engineering problems.
PO6- The Engineering Technologist and the World
Ability to analyze and evaluate sustainable development impacts to: society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks, and the environment, in solving broadly-defined engineering problems.
PO7 – Ethics
Ability to understand and commit to professional ethics and norms of engineering technology practice and adhere to relevant national and international laws. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion.
PO8- Individual and Collaborative Team Work
Ability to function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams and in multi-disciplinary, face-to-face, remote and distributed settings.
PO9 – Communications
Ability to communicate effectively and inclusively on broadly-defined engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, by being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences.
PO10 – Project Management and Finances
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
PO11 –Â Life Long Learning
Ability to recognize the need for, and have the ability for independent and life-long learning and critical thinking in the face of new specialist technologies.
