J. Al-Awad (Committee Member - Chairman). Professor Adel Mohamed A. Hemeida (Committee Member - Coordinator). Dr.  Mohammed M. Amro (Committee Member). Dr.  Mohamed Said Benzagouta (Committee Member). Dr.  Emad S. Al-Homadhi (Committee Member). Engineer AbdulBari A. Al-Arefi (Committee Member).   The responsibilities of the above mentioned committee are: Coordinate ABET studies according to the time-schedule set by the Dean of the Faculty. Carry out the studies in cooperation with the Department Head. Define the Department’s undergraduate educational mission and program objectives. Develop strategies in assessment. Evaluate and improve Department’s educational mission, objectives and outcomes. Coordinate the preparation of Program Self-Study Report. Conducting seminars on ABET requirements and accreditation process. Continuously analyze and evaluate the Department’s mission, objectives and outcomes with respect to the needs of constituents and the country. Design, distribute, process and analyze the assessment surveys.  In addition to the role as the PGE Department ABET Committee chairman, Professor Musaed N. J.  Al-Awad is a member of the College ABET Committee.  The department faculty members are also participated in the completion of this report by providing the Committee with the necessary information regarding courses catalogues, personal CV's, and completing faculty survey forms. Members of the PGED Committee seek to understand the latest trends in petroleum and natural gas engineering practice and education and to implement accreditation procedures that satisfy the needs and expectations of the petroleum engineering profession. Members of this Committee participate, along with representatives of the other engineering disciplines, to prepare for accreditation policy that is consistent for the entire engineering college. In addition, the Committee sets specific accreditation criteria that apply for the petroleum engineering program.
