4. demonstrate a sense of social and moral responsibility appropriate to manage, lead and work within cross functional teams.
5. good record of community services to their local as well national and global communities.

Student Outcomes (bachelor)

1. An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to process engineering.
2. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to process engineering.
3. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and nontechnical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
4. An ability to conduct standardized tests measurements, and experiments and to analyse and interpret the results to improve processes.
5. An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (Diploma)

After few years, the Process Engineering graduates of International Maritime College Oman are expected to:

1. to apply fundamental principles in the Process Engineering field at the level of an operator in the areas of operation, production and safe manufacturing of products in process industries
2. apply practical skills and competencies developed in the program in order to operate equipment in process and manufacturing industries, safely and competently.
3. be proficient and effective in verbal and written communication to carry out their duties and responsibilities within the process industry and society in a safe and efficient manner.
4. demonstrate a sense of social ethical and moral values appropriate to providing efficient services at workplace and within their communities
5. have a good record of community services to their local as well national and global communities

Students Outcome (diploma)

1. Competency in the use of the English language in academic and industrial environment.
2. Acquiring the required fundamental technical skills, knowledge of mathematical and basic science concepts and practical experimental skills that are applicable in solving problems encountered during operation in process and manufacturing Industries.
3. Acquiring the knowledge of equipment and instruments used in major process and manufacturing industries with direct "hands-on" skills.
4. Ability to conduct standardized tests, measurements and experiments and acquiring the skills to analyse and interpret the results to improve industrial operations.
5. Ability to function effectively as a member of a cross-functional team.
