Student Outcomes: MIME Mechanical Engineering (ME) Program

The table below lists the skills, knowledge, and behaviors characteristic of every student who graduates from Oregon State School of Mechanical, Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. These Mechanical Engineering Student Outcomes are paired by the MIME Program Educational Objective with which they are most closely associated.

The Bachelor of Science and Honors Bachelor of Science degree programs in Mechanical Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

 

Within three to five years of graduation, graduates in mechanical engineering will have:
