Program Educational Objectives

After graduation, engineering graduates should demonstrate the following abilities:

• Lifelong Learning - to pursue professional and personal development by obtaining professional licensure, certifications, post-graduate study or other means as appropriate to meet and adapt to emerging and evolving societal challenges.
• Innovation - to have a successful career as an engineer or other professional and welcome cross-discipline innovation, entrepreneurship and a willingness to take intellectual risks.
• Professional, Inclusive and Broad Minded - to contribute to the field of engineering or a related field as a professional by mentoring and other forms of service, celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual and applying the principles of liberal arts and engineering to support community.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the engineering program students will demonstrate:

• 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.
