MECHANICAL ENGINEERING OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES
Within 1 to3 years of graduation our graduates are expected to:
1. Have evolved into competent and ethical engineers practicing in a diverse range of current and emerging activities
2. Use their mechanical engineering education as a stimulus for personal and professional growth
3. Demonstrate capability, creativity, leadership, and application of knowledge
4. Be critical thinkers, both independently and as members of a team, who identify problems and develop effective solutions
Prepare graduates to pursue higher education in engineering or other professional fields.
Behave ethically and responsibly by: recognizing and respecting the tradesperson, demonstrating self-initiated learning, and applying a code of ethics.
Identify and remediate unsafe work practices within a shop environment.
OUR GRADUATES WILL HAVE:
An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation.
. An ability to analyze and interpret data, using engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
An ability to 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 create a collaborative and inclusive environment.
Behave ethically and responsibly by: recognizing and respecting the tradesperson, demonstrating self-initiated learning, and applying a code of ethics.
Participate at various levels within the mechanical/manufacturing business environment by: performing TVM calculations, identifying optimal choices between engineering alternatives, identifying the functions of management, preparing a manufacturing budget, and performing variance analysis.
ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline
An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline
An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature
An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes
An ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams
