91ÖÆƬ³§

The objectives of the mechanical engineering undergraduate program at 91ÖÆƬ³§ are that our graduates should accomplish the following:

1. To establish themselves as successful professionals in the general areas of thermal/fluid systems, mechanical systems and design, and materials and manufacturing in industry and government settings by demonstrating their ability to:
   • Conduct themselves consistently in a responsible, professional, and ethical manner
   • Participate in continuing education, research, and development, and in other lifelong creative efforts in science and technology.
   • Lead others in support of activities that promote service to, and economic development of, the community, the region, state, and nation.
2. To successfully pursue and complete graduate programs in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field if they so desire.

The students who qualify for graduation will:

1. Be proficient in mathematics through differential equations, probability and statistics, calculus-based physics, general chemistry, and engineering science, and have the ability to apply knowledge in these areas to mechanical engineering problems.
2. Have the ability to design and conduct experiments and to critically analyze and interpret data in various mechanical engineering fields.
3. Be able to 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.
4. Have the ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
5. Be able to identify and formulate an engineering problem, collect and analyze relevant data, and develop a solution.
6. Understand and appreciate professional and ethical responsibilities and professional practice issues such as procurement of work, and bidding versus quality-based selection processes.
7. Be able to effectively present ideas and technical material to diverse audiences in writing, visually, and verbally.
8. Have the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
9. Understand and appreciate the importance of professional licensure and commitment to life-long learning.
10. Have knowledge of current issues and awareness of emerging technologies.
11. Have the ability to use modern engineering techniques, skills, and tools including computer-based tools for mechanical engineering analysis and design.
