WELCOME To The Department Of Safety Engineering

OVERVIEW

The Bachelor program in Safety Engineering is a 136-unit curriculum designed to provide engineering safety knowledge and to give graduates job opportunities in the areas of construction safety, transportation safety, petrochemical and process, and industrial safety. The curriculum is a unique engineering program that is rich in problem solving to enhance the capabilities to safely manage engineering projects and prepare graduates who can evaluate, design and implement a comprehensive safety and health programs and are career ready for the construction, transportation, petrochemical and chemical processing, industrial and public sector areas. This is fulfilling the University of Business and Technology’s Guarantee of “Education for Job Opportunities” vision. The program is designed to prepare graduates to have proficiency in the application of science and engineering to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public from the impacts of accidents including fire. This includes the ability to apply and incorporate an understanding of the dynamics that affect the safety of occupants and emergency responders and the protection of property against the hazards associated with chemical processes and building designs. The program is designed to satisfy the local, regional and the global markets and offers four areas of concentration (tracks) including Construction, Transportation, Petrochemicals and Process, and Industrial and Systems that can be accredited by both NCAAA and ABET.

MISSION

The mission of the safety engineering program is to prepare job-ready graduates for a gratifying career to meet the safety mission of their enterprise; to protect, conserve, and improve the resources of the organization; and to help eliminate preventable deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the road through leadership, research, education and advocacy.

Vision

The vision of the safety engineering program is to be an innovative academic community in partnership with industry and public sector dedicated to providing unique safety engineering and leadership knowledge and skills for diverse engineering leaders to meet the local and regional needs of the wide engineering industries and the public sector.

CURRICULUM AND PLAN

REQUIREMENTS PROGRAM

UBT’s Requirements Program consists of non-credited courses and English courses aimed at improving students’ language proficiency before they begin their undergraduate studies, as well as to develop and improve students’ knowledge of mathematical and analytical techniques through the medium of English Language.

SAFETY ENGINEERING PLAN

It is highly important to follow the program plan during its different semesters as it was designed to prepare students in each stage to totally benefit from the following one. It is crucial for students to meet their academic advisor and follow the study plan of their major closely. This would typically include taking lower level courses in the first and second year, getting as much of general education as possible, and then moving on to take major courses and possibly some minor courses. This is a very carefully structured process that students should closely adhere to.
