Mechanical Engineering

Graduates of the Mechanical Engineering program will be able to:

1. Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles to engineering, science and mathematics;
2. 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. Communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
4. Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economics, environmental, and societal contexts;
5. Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collective and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
6. Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions;
7. Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
8. Ability to apply principles of engineering, basic science and mathematics (including multivariate calculus and differential equations) to solve engineering problems;
9. Ability to model, analyze, design and realize physical systems, components or processes;
10. Preparation to work professionally in either thermal or mechanical systems
