These basic level engineering programs are designed to give the student an understanding of the fundamental principles underlying engineering and engineering practice. Each engineering curriculum contains core curriculum courses designed to develop a solid foundation in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, with a general background in social and behavioral sciences. Building on this background, the engineering courses provide application of basic principles and the analysis of engineering systems. The engineering design component of the curriculum in each major subject area provides the engineering student with methods and techniques for the solution of technological problems in society.
Laboratory facilities in the College of Engineering are equipped to facilitate learning. In these labs, students become familiar with the instruments, procedures, and processes employed by industry. Computer laboratories are available for students’ use throughout their course of study. In addition, every student is required to have his own laptop computer.

The integrated institutional structure for PMU is based on the North American model of education with English as the language of instruction. The degree programs also contain a number of individual courses and subject areas that must be mastered by every student. Distinguishing characteristics of PMU include a pervasive use of technology in its learning environment and a commitment to a set of six competencies and learning outcomes that is integrated throughout the curriculum in a developmental manner.
The College of Engineering accepts successful male students from the Preparatory Program or other qualified male students into degree programs in engineering. The classroom experience for students in the College of Engineering is highly student-centered, interactive, and communicative. Courses combine theoretical content with practical and laboratory experience. Syllabi include techniques for students to develop communication, teamwork, and leadership skills as part of an overall strategy for achieving the PMU core competencies. The curricula are designed by Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC) to be accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), which requires a balanced program of general education, engineering science, and design courses.
While students completing engineering degrees at PMU could certainly continue on to graduate studies, the main emphasis in the engineering programs is on the preparation of graduates for employment. Graduates from the College of Engineering are self-directed, motivated, technically competent professionals with strong communication skills, capable of effective teamwork and leadership.
