V. Program Learning Outcomes (PLO or ELO)

The Expected Learning Outcomes (ELOs) of the program, also known as the program learning outcome (PLO) are formulated as below. Upon graduation, our students should be able to:
(a) Apply their modern knowledge in mathematics, modeling, and simulations in order to compute a concrete problem in finance, risk management, and related fields appropriately.
(b) Interpret the mathematical approaches and model selections for solving a specific problem in applied mathematics, finance, and risk management efficiently.
(c) Design experiments using reasoning, creative thinking, and mathematical models.
(d) Evaluate a financial product or risk management strategy to meet desired needs and constraints, such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
(e) Perform effectively on multidisciplinary teams to accomplish a common goal.
(f) Display the ability to communicate effectively with a broad range of audiences in both academic and industrial communities.
(g) Adhere to professional, ethical, legal, security, and social issues and responsibilities.
(h) Build their integrating knowledge of contemporary issues.
(i) Form a scientific worldview, logical and independent thinking to build a stable ideology and to follow the state policies.
(j) Adapt the broad educational foundation to flexibly adjust applied mathematics solutions to a specific global, economic, environmental, and societal problem in the uncertain real world.
(k) Formulate the need and continue their professional development and lifelong learning.

VIII. Teaching Philosophy:

In addition to doing research, the lecturers of the FERM program have rich experience to share their profound knowledge in applied mathematics with students and motivate them to learn and think. The Department of Mathematics has integrated the modern teaching philosophy into the program. Our program has the following educational philosophy:

(i) based on student-centered learning and constructivism
(ii) encourage and build up self-learning ability and lifelong learning capability
(iii) able to utilize information and communication technology, integration of theories, and practice

The recent educational philosophy has been announced in 2018 at a university retreat for school and department representatives. IU’s educational philosophy can be summarized as comprehensive, liberal, Pioneering, and global.

As a result, the FERM program hence can provide high-quality undergraduate education using the student-centered approach which requires students actively involve and be responsible for their own learning, while the role of academic staff is more on facilitating the learning process, providing students with updated knowledge of the field through the teaching strategies such as elaborating, concrete examples, case studies, applied research, motivating and inspiring students for self-studying.
