The educational objectives of the Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program
are to produce graduates who...
Can apply the principles of mathematics, science, and engineering
Are knowledgeable in thermal systems and mechanical systems as well as
of the relationships among processes, process equipment, integrated design,
and
performance
Can define problems involving design in both thermal systems and mechanical
systems and are capable of developing and evaluating alternate designs
as well as implementing design solutions
Communicate effectively and who demonstrate an ability to function on
multidisciplinary teams
Can use modern engineering tools for conducting analyses, accomplishing
designs
Understand their responsibility to their profession and society in
a global context and who are prepared for and realize the importance
of
lifelong
learning
Have the necessary education in the arts, humanities, and ethics
Engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain:

an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
an ability to communicate effectively
the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
a knowledge of contemporary issues
an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
