Mission and Objectives
The mission of the department is to provide a theory-based, application-oriented general engineering education that serves as a basis for career success and lifelong learning. Our graduates demonstrate the engineering and scientific knowledge to analyze, design, improve and evaluate integrated technology-based systems. Our program welcomes a diverse student body and provides the support to foster its success.
Graduates of the BS in Engineering program will:
- Use their education to be successful in a technical career or graduate studies, demonstrating competence in applying classical methods and modern engineering tools;
- Analyze technical, environmental, and societal issues related to engineering designs and technology systems;
- Be productive team members and leaders, using skills in human relations and communication;
- Practice a lifelong commitment to learning and professional development; and
- Demonstrate commitment to the professional and ethical standards of engineering and recognize the importance of community and professional service.
Graduates of the Engineering program will demonstrate:
- An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering,
- An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data,
- An ability 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,
- An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams,
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems,
- An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility,
- An ability to communicate effectively,
- The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context,
