PEO 1.    Demonstrates high level technical competence in mechanical engineering or in any specialized or related field of mechanical engineering

PEO 2.    Exhibits growing professional career in mechanical engineering practice and research

PEO 3.  Pursues engineering and technical activities relevant to the needs of the industry and the community

Student Outcomes (SO)

The student outcomes are statements that describe what students are expected to know and do by the time they graduate.  These student outcomes relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire in their matriculation through the program.  The Student Outcomes of the Mechanical Engineering Program are the following:

SO (a) Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals, and mechanical engineering principles to the solution of complex engineering problems

SO (b) Conduct investigations of complex engineering problem using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusion

SO (c) Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations

SO (d) Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings

SO (e) Identify, formulate, research literature and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences

SO (f) Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice

SO (g) Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and with effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations and give and receive clear instructions

SO (h) Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of professional engineering work in the solution of complex engineering problems in societal and environmental context

SO (i) Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change

SO (j) Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solutions to complex engineering problems

SO (k) Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling to complex engineering problems with an understanding of the limitations

SO (l) Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision making and apply these to one’s own work as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments
