ME PEOs, 5/23/11The mechanical engineering program provides education in engineering design and analysis, the basic sciences, and the liberal arts in accordance with national standards and thereby provides the necessary tools for our graduates to pursue successful careers as mechanical engineers or to seek continued graduate education.

Graduates are able to apply engineering fundamentals to societal problems. They are educated in experimental and computational techniques. They are able to work in multidisciplinary teams to meet the needs of the modern work place. The undergraduate program is enriched by our research activities and maintains strong ties with industry.

Graduates have the ability to communicate technical information effectively. They understand professional and ethical responsibilities of a mechanical engineer. They are able to adapt to emerging technologies through life-long learning.

Criterion 3: Student Outcomesa) Apply knowledge of math,

science & engineeringb) Design & conduct

experiments; analyze & interpret data

c) Design system, component or process to meet constraints

d) Function on a multidisciplinary team

e) Identify, formulate & solve engineering problems

f) Understand professional & ethical responsibility

g) Communicate effectivelyh) Understand engineering

solutions in a global, economic, environmental & societal context

i) Recognize need to engage in life-long learning

j) Understand contemporary issues

k) Use techniques, skills, & modern tools necessary for engineering practice

How do outcomes prepare graduates to attain the PEOs?
