Introduction Study Plan is considered as the backbone of the academic department at any college. It is also considered as the most important criteria that used as a base to develop the vision and objectives of the academic departments and determines locally and globally the level and status of the educational process in the college. A good study plan besides availability of strong laboratory facilities and high level of the faculty and administrative staffs are needed to implement the Study plan on the ground programs accurately, efficiently and proficiently. 3

Program Standards The program must be capable to meet its objectives Mission, vision and objectives of the program clear, simple and measurable. There is an overall objective of the academic program is guaranteed and generalized identifies knowledge and skills envisaged that correspond with the needs of the labor market. There is a detailed targets documented and generalized emerge from the overall objective of the program. 5

Program Standards Consistency between objectives of the program established and the intended learning outcomes. This must be linked to educational objectives of the department, college, and University. A detailed plan for the program show courses, and classification (theoretical, practical, exercises ), sequencing, and the number of hours of study. Needs approval. A detailed plan for each course includes: general description of the course, teaching language, learning objectives, teaching strategies, methods of evaluation, learning resources, and operations for development and improvement.

Graduates and Labor Market 15 Graduates Areas Electrical Mechanical Civil Computer Chemical Architecture Petroleum Mining Graduates Areas Electrical Mechanical Civil Computer Chemical Architecture Petroleum Mining Strength and Weakness in Graduates Labor Market Needs Opportunities Rapid Changes Labor Market Needs Opportunities Rapid Changes

Questions raised Questions raised Opinion of employers in graduates from various engineering disciplines and competence to applied work. Weakness in the courses studied by the student and their impact on his performance ( for computer -to- leadership - Ability to execute tasks and follow up- communication skills ) What are the main points that labor market focus on during Recruiting graduate engineers? 16

How does college of engineering meet the needs of your company? Drafting its curricula Changing the teaching method Development of training programs Do research related to the company's interest 17 Questions for those in charge of market

Where are we? There is a national and international standards that influence the quality and level of study plans. Accordingly, CoE, had considered those standards in its plan to develop its 136 plan. Never kept aside, college’s vision, mission and objectives, were there during selection of programs' courses and tracks. After 6 years of implementation, it is time to revise the current study plan and enhance the curriculums on the light of academic accreditation and labor market needs. revise 34
