5. Program Outcomes
The main objective of the Program Outcomes, POs, and Program Educational Objectives PEOs, is to measure the level of achievement of the curricular requirement of the department in preparing the graduates to meet the challenges presented to them by the fascinating petroleum industry. In other words, petroleum engineering Program outcomes, POs, and Program Educational Objectives, PEOs, are two different, but interrelated mechanisms that were developed in order to measure the level of achievement and success of the program.
The PeE department has developed ten Program Outcomes (POs) as an initial set of POs. These outcomes are, in effect, what the students expected to know and achieve post graduation. Table4 shows these program outcomes.
Table4: Petroleum Engineering Program Outcomes Symbol Description A

7.3 Mapping of Course Learning Outcomes to Program Outcomes
An academic program is, in effect, the superposition of a set of courses, somehow, linked together to achieve program outcome. This means that courses in any academic program represent the building blocks of that program. Assessment of the program would only be
possible if the course learning outcomes are mapped to the program outcomes. Course
learning outcomes of individual program courses are listed in the detailed course syllabus
which are prepared by faculty teaching that particular course and submitted to the student in
the beginning of the year. Each year, immediately after tallying the final grades of all courses, mapping between the courses and program outcomes is also established. Mapping of all the courses offered by the PeE department is given below in Table3.2.

8. (Faculty)
8.1 Leadership Responsibilities
The chairman of the petroleum engineering department is the most pivotal of all positions concerned with the instructional development. The policies of the college and university delegate the prime responsibility of the department daily operation to the chairman. The
University of Basrah
College of Engineering
Petroleum Engineering Department
34
chairman is thus, assigned the task of running and managing the department. As the executive officer, the chairman is responsible to both the dean of the college of engineering and the department. It is the chairman who maintains daily contacts with the administration, with faculty and with students. It is in this last context where the chairman has to ensure that the department's mission and educational objectives are met. This could be achieved through the following:
1. Departmental affairs: developing and accomplishing departmental missions and objectives within those of the university; establishing departmental policies; conducting departmental meetings; involving faculty members and students in departmental decision making and activities.
2. Academic affairs: establishing departmental degree programs and curricula; evaluating, updating and improving program curricula, and the enforcing the quality of instruction.
3. Office management: administering departmental facilities; hiring, supervising, evaluating staff personnel (secretaries, laboratory assistants); establishing file and record systems (faculty, students, courses, academic data, correspondence); maintaining equipment and other department properties; requisitioning supplies; ordering textbooks.
4. Personal professional performance: providing professional leadership and setting an example in the department; demonstrating professional competence in teaching, research, and other professional activities; participating in professional associations and community service, setting academic standards; preparing term schedules of courses.
5. Faculty affairs:
 Recruiting and orienting new faculty members; supporting and encouraging high performance in teaching, research, conference attendance, seminars, workshops, and other professional activities;
 Enforcing faculty responsibilities and protecting faculty rights; evaluating faculty members and making documented recommendations to the dean for them.
6. Student affairs:
 Facilitating a constructive environment to consolidate the program teaching and learning process.
 Curricular and career advising of students.
 Responding to student grievances and complaints.
 Certifying students for graduation.
7. Program affairs:
 Arranging meetings with faculty to decide on further steps to improve the program.
 Managing the essential funds for laboratory equipment, day-to-day functioning, other department social activities, etc.
 Executing the PeE Program, alteration, and improvement proposed by program constituencies.
8. External communications: conveying university policies and actions to the department, representing the department in the college, the university and all external agencies and communicating departmental programs and activities to students.

9. Budgetary affairs: preparing annual departmental budget requests; administering budgetary allocations (preparing requisitions, authorizing expenditures, maintaining budget records).
8.2 Authority and Responsibility of Faculty
Faculty members are the back bone of the department and their role in the running of the department is very crucial. It is the department senate or faculty council that makes decisions, recommendations, proposals and policy changes within the department. The approval of the majority of the council is essential prior to passing to the chairman for further action. In effect, the department’s council role is not limited only to academic matters but goes beyond that to include all aspects of governing the department. Though the responsibilities could vary among individuals in the department, all members participate in the following activities:
1. Teaching: proposing new curriculum courses, modifying and updating existing courses; course evaluation through conducting exams, quizzes, assignments, projects, etc. In order to provide consistency in the department, faculty members in the Petroleum Engineering Department are recommended to:
 Keeping up to date with relevant changes in their related fields and carefully preparing lectures and course materials.
 Being accessible to students for academic consultation during scheduled or prearranged office hours.
 Informing students regarding course formats, assignments, and methods of evaluation.
 Maintaining teaching schedules in all but exceptional circumstances.
 Informing students of any necessary cancellation and rescheduling of instruction.
 Adhering to the schedules for submission of grades and evaluations by the department.
2. Research: devote a good portion of their time to carry out research or creative work, within the constraints of the relatively heavy teaching loads. All full time faculty members are encouraged to make the results of such activities available, to other researchers and academicians, through publications, lectures, and other appropriate means.
3. Service to the university: some faculty members in the department are assigned different tasks at the university level. This is realized, among other duties, through; reviewing of academic publications, editorial board members, organizing International conferences, and other academic associations and consultancy assignments.
8.3 Faculty
The petroleum engineering department has 12 full and part time faculty members, including the chairman of department. In terms of rank distribution, they are broken down as follows:  6 Lecturers  7 Assistant Lecturers

Among our faculty, the number of years of teaching experience ranges from 1 to 20 years. In the process of assessing the faculty activities in the PeE department it was realized that, on the average, the department is more tilted towards teaching rather than research and other scholarly activities. Detailed information regarding the credentials, experience, workload, and committees' involvement of the faculty member in the PeE department is included in Tables 8.1 and 8.2 below.
