University of Louisville
AC-2: Learning Outcomes

UofL's Liberal Studies degree, Peace, Justice & Conflict Transformation Certificate, and all seven degree-granting programs in the J.B. Speed School of Engineering have learning outcomes that encompasses sustainability. Each engineering department has its learning outcomes posted on its website. The degree programs include: Bioengineering Chemical Engineering Civil and Environmental Engineering Computer Engineering & Computer Science Electrical and Computer Engineering Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering

Peace, Justice & Conflict Transformation Certificate http://louisville.edu/peace/academic-programs/peace-studies/student-learning-objectives.html Specific learning objectives for students: - Demonstrate knowledge and understanding broader than that generally provided within a single department or discipline; - Demonstrate extended, deepened, and refined skills in critical thinking, research,and writing; - Demonstrate knowledge among different contexts to underscore the interdependence of thought; - Demonstrate comprehension of the cross-connections among violence and justice on the micro, meso, and macro levels and to understand tools to increase justice and decrease violence; - Demonstrate critical thinking elements and standards such as relevance, assumptions, and accuracy; - Demonstrate ability to undertake a culminating peacebuilding experience that focuses on praxis, the application of theories and examples learned in class. Students will volunteer with an off-campus organization whose mission addresses at least one aspect of peace, justice, or conflict transformation (examples among many include conflict, bullying, violence, social justice); - Demonstrate strong engagement as human beings and global citizens responsible for the world around them, present and future; - Demonstrate initial understanding of a vast topic that can be a locus for lifelong learning. Liberal Studies http://louisville.edu/liberalstudies/approved-majors/student-learning-outcomes Student Learning Outcomes: - Learn to address complex issues from the point of view of a number of relevant disciplines. - Demonstrate a knowledge of the basic content and methods of the 3-5 areas of concentration chosen by the student. - Demonstrate the ability to write and speak about issues from the perspectives of the disciplines in which the student has chosen concentrations. Bioengineering https://louisville.edu/speed/bioengineering/mission-peo.html - An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. - The broad education necessary to understand the impact of bioengineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. Chemical Engineering https://louisville.edu/speed/chemical/abet-inc/program-outcomes - The broad education, and knowledge of contemporary issues, necessary to understand the professional and ethical responsibilities of chemical engineers in a global and societal context. Civil and Environmental Engineering https://louisville.edu/speed/civil/ - Instill in students an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities, both in education and in practice. - Provide a breadth of course work and perspectives that create an understanding of the impact of engineering in society, both local and global Computer Engineering & Computer Science http://louisville.edu/speed/computer/about/bs-program-outcomes.html - The broad education necessary to understand the impact of computer engineering and computer science in a global and societal context. Electrical and Computer Engineering https://louisville.edu/speed/electrical/information/about - An understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities. - Attainment of the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. Industrial Engineering http://louisville.edu/speed/industrial/accreditation - An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. - The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
