Student learning outcomes & program educational objectives

Student learning outcomes

By the time of graduation, our students will have achieved the following learning outcomes:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Program educational objectives

Within 3-5 years after graduation, our mechanical engineering alumni will have:

• Successfully applied their knowledge of mechanical engineering principles, critical thinking, and problem solving skills in the professional market or in graduate school.
• Conducted themselves in a responsible, professional, and ethical manner.
• Demonstrated command of technical, communication, and professional skills necessary to assume leadership roles.
• Actively continued the process of lifelong learning to keep up to date with the advancement of the engineering profession and to acquire new skills.
