Program Description
- STEM designated program
The BSE Mechanical Engineering program, accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, bestow graduates with a breadth of engineering skill and knowledge while facilitating technical depth in mechanical engineering design and manufacturing, energy and thermal-fluid sciences, mechanics, and mechatronics. Students graduate qualified to lead successful and productive careers in their discipline, work collaboratively with colleagues of other disciplines, and pursue Professional Engineering (PE) licensure, and graduate studies.
Learning Goals/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
