The Bachelor of Science and Honors Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Mechanical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Program Educational Outcomes

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

Created value to organizations through the analysis, evaluation, and improvement of engineered systems and processes using appropriate mechanical engineering methods and tools. 

Communicated effectively across disciplines and cultures to manage and/or lead activities in support of organizational goals and objectives.

Innovated systems and processes, in response to organizational challenges, through the application of structured and unstructured mechanical engineering methodologies, including engineering design and problem-solving.

Student Outcomes

Upon completion of the program, students will meet the following learning outcomes: 

An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

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.

An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

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.

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.

An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
