Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Program Student Outcomes (SOs)
According to the ABET “The master’s program must have and enforce procedures for verifying that each student has completed a set of post-secondary educational and professional experiences that supports the attainment of the student outcomes of Criterion 3 (Student Outcomes, SOs) of the general criteria for baccalaureate level engineering programs”. The attainment of the following outcomes prepares postgraduates to enter the professional practice of engineering:
-
An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
-
An ability to 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.
-
An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
-
An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
-
An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
-
An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
-
An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
