The mission of the mechanical engineering program is to produce graduates with a broad-based foundation in fundamental engineering principles and liberal arts, together with the depth of disciplinary knowledge needed to succeed in a career in mechanical engineering or a related field, including a wide variety of advanced technological and management careers.

To achieve its mission, the Mechanical Engineering program, with input from its constituents, has established the following Program Educational Objectives:

Graduates will be known for handling challenging mechanical engineering problems to innovate and develop solutions to meet the current and emerging
needs of society
Graduates excel as leaders in diverse and broad mechanical engineering industries.
Graduates continually improve their knowledge and skills to drive technological change in an ethical and socially responsible manner

The strategic priorities of our program are to:

Create and nurture a student-centric environment that prepares our students to become technological leaders, creative thinkers, and outstanding problem solvers
Provide 21st-century educational programs that feature innovative content and relevance
Support, recognize, and celebrate our diverse community of learners and scholars
Foster, nurture, and support the growing culture of impactful research and scholarship in our education

Student Outcomes

By the time of graduation, mechanical engineering students will attain:

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
