Student Learning Objectives and Program Outcomes
Student Learning Objectives - The graduate with a Master of Science degree in Industrial Hygiene will use the knowledge and skills obtained in the programs to:
- Demonstrate the ability to communicate professionally verbally and in writing.
- Demonstrate knowledge of professional integrity and ethical standards.
- Recognize the importance of contemporary, global and societal issues as they relate to the practice of occupational safety and health.
- Develop, coordinate and/or participate on multidisciplinary teams to protect
people, property and the environment. - Recognize the importance of life-long learning for the purpose of enhancing
discipline specific technical competencies. - Identify and evaluate agents and stressors in occupational and non-occupational settings.
- Collect and analyze data using qualitative and quantitative methods and procedures.
- Recommend and evaluate hazard mitigation strategies.
Program Outcomes - Program Additionally, graduates with a Master of Science degree in Industrial Hygiene will demonstrate the following specific program outcomes:
- Apply basic skills in developing sampling strategy, sampling methods, and use of control measures.
- Design a hygiene program that mitigates chemical, biological and physical hazards.
- Collect, analyze and interpret data using qualitative and quantitative methods of hazard assessment.
- Identify and evaluate agents and stressors in occupational and non-occupational settings.
- Apply techniques of using instrumentation to discover/identify hazards, prioritizing, and implementation for strategies to control or minimize the risks of exposure.
- Evaluate the most appropriate level of protection that considers the degree of hazard, concentration of chemical and nature of the toxicity.
