Program Outcomes
The program provides Learners with in-depth knowledge and understanding of environmental and water resources engineering methods, processes and practice. It enables them to deepen their understanding and knowledge in the field of environmental and water resources engineering and its practice in the technological age.
Learners on the program are able to acquire the requisite knowledge and job-relevant in-demand skills and competencies in environmental and water resources engineering. The program prepares Learners for professional environmental and water resources engineering careers with the competencies to lead engineering projects in the field.
The ACTIVEclassTM Mode of Delivery of this Program lays less emphasis on teaching or instruction. Learners are encouraged and empowered to develop and acquire their Program-specific SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and know-how) through the innovative LKDATM (Learn, Know, Do, Acquire) approach
The Program provides Learners with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the core, concentration, and specialization subject areas of the Program to enable them develop and acquire the relevant Program-specific SEEKTM through actively engaging in the Learning-by-Involvement (LbI) and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) activity-based learner-initiative-intensity-activeness LKDATM-Outcome AATs (actions, activities, and tasks).
The LKDATM– Outcome ACTIVEclassTM Mode of Program Delivery
The Program is ACTIVEclassTM Compliant whereby the instructional delivery approach is designed to facilitate, support, and empower the active engagement of Learners in the process of developing and acquiring their Program-specific SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and know-how).
ACTIVEclassTM Instructors are, therefore, not at the center of the teaching-instruction-learning process. They focus on introducing the subject matter of instruction, mapping out and guiding Learners through learner-initiative-intensity-activeness LKDATM (Learn, Know, Do, Acquire) Outcome AATs (actions, activities, and tasks).
ACTIVEclassTM Learners are therefore encouraged and empowered to play an active engagement role in contributing to their SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and knowledge/know-how) development and acquisition process through actively engaging in the Learning-by-Involvement (LbI) and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) activity-based LDKATM Outcomes AATs (activities, actions, and tasks).
