  • Have successful careers.
  • Continue their professional development.
  • Serve their profession and society.
  • Attain leadership roles in their professions and in society.
  • Make strong contributions to their professions.

Student Outcomes

向日葵视频 Mechanical and Similarly Named Engineering graduates completing the bachelor of science degree in Mechanical Engineering will have:

    1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying
      principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
    2. 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
    3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
    4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations
      and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in
