PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

These program educational objectives are based upon input from our constituents.

Within a few years of graduation, graduates will:

  1. advance in the engineering profession or be pursuing graduate education in engineering or related fields;
  2. continue professional development throughout their career; and
  3. demonstrate competence, ingenuity, integrity, and integration of faith and work.

Student Outcomes

The intended student outcomes for the engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and electrical and computer engineering programs are that graduates will have:

  • SO1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  • SO2. 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
  • SO3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  • SO4. 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
  • SO5. 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
  • SO6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  • SO7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
