Mechanical Engineering
To prepare the graduates for diverse careers
in both mechanical engineering and
non-mechanical engineering fields.
To have students graduate with outstanding
problem solving skills and a superb knowledge
of mechanical engineering that allow them to
continue their education throughout their
careers and to become leaders in their
fields.
The mission and goal of the Mechanical
Engineering program lead to three program
educational objectives (PEOs):
Upon graduation, our students are
- Prepared for professional practice in
entry-level engineering positions or to
enroll in further engineering degree programs
through rigorous instruction in the
engineering sciences and extensive laboratory
and design experience.
- Prepared for successful careers and
leadership positions because of their
integrated introduction to teamwork, communications, and problem-solving.
- Prepared for a variety of careers
resulting from the opportunity to deepen
their technical understanding in a particular
subject by a program of related technical
electives or to obtain a broader education in
engineering by a flexible choice of technical
and free electives.
The outcomes we desire are that our
graduates demonstrate:
- An ability to apply knowledge of
mathematics, science, and engineering to
mechanical engineering
problems.
- An ability to design and conduct
experiments, as well as to analyze and
interpret data.
- An ability to design thermal and
mechanical systems, components, or processes
to meet desired needs.
- 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
with written, oral, and visual means.
- The broad education necessary to
understand the impact of engineering
solutions in a global 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 modern engineering
techniques, skills, and computing tools
necessary for engineering practice.
- A familiarity with chemistry, calculus-based physics, and advanced
mathematics.
- Familiarity with statistics and linear
algebra.
