Accreditation
Engineering Accreditation Commission
The Bachelor of Science and Honors Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Mechanical Engineering.
Program Educational Objectives
Within three to five years of graduation, our graduates in mechanical engineering will have:
Recognized and 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 actively contribute to a culture of managing and/or leading activities in support of organizational and personal goals and objectives.
Solved problems through the application of structured and unstructured mechanical engineering methodologies.
Designed, developed, or implemented innovative systems and processes by applying principles of engineering.
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
