Student Learning Outcomes
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Upon completion of this degree program, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate and apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering with chemistry and calculus-based physics in depth; mathematics through multivariate calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra; probability and statistics; and mechanical engineering sciences: solid mechanics, fluid-thermal sciences, materials science, systems dynamics.
- Conduct experiments methodically, analyze data, and interpret results.
- Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability, with applications to mechanical systems and thermal systems.
- Function in teams to carry out multidisciplinary projects.
- Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
- Understand professional and ethical responsibilities.
- Communicate effectively in writing and orally.
- Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context through broad education.
- Recognize the need to engage in lifelong learning.
- Demonstrate knowledge of contemporary issues.
- Use the techniques, skills, and modern tools of engineering effectively and correctly in engineering practice with mechanical engineering analysis tools (e.g., ProMechanica); engineering design and manufacturing tools (e.g., ProEngineer); internet and library information resources; and mathematical computing and analysis tools (e.g., Matlab, Excel, LabView, and C).
