Mechanical & Biomedical Engineering
Program Educational Objectives and Outcomes

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:

Upon successful completion of the course of study encompassed by our undergraduate program, our graduates will be able to

1. Use their knowledge and expertise in mathematics, science and engineering to solve problems from a wide range of fields and use these problem-solving skills in an integrated and intelligent manner for the analysis of complex engineering systems and the competent design of engineering systems and components;
   
2. Recognize the need for experiments and be able to design, carry out and interpret the results of an experimental program;
   
3. Successfully communicate the content and importance of their work to a broad range of audiences using a wide variety of media. This includes communication and operations in a multi-disciplinary team environment. In addition, our graduates are expected to maintain the highest standards of personal and professional integrity and ethical responsibilities;
   
4. Continue their education, both formally and informally, by making use of their research and study skills that were developed at BSU. These skills are essential to the extension of the graduates’ technical skills and the proper understanding of their work in a social, ethical and economic context.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES:

To attain the above-stated goals, we strive to achieve the following specific and measurable outcomes in our students while they are studying with us. Throughout the students’ course of study the faculty and their designees will assess the extent to which students are meeting these expected outcomes.

   A:      An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering

   B:     An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data

   C:    An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs

   D:    An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams

   E:    An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems

   F:     An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility

   G:    An ability to communicate effectively

   H:   The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions
           in a global and  societal context

    I:     A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning

    J:    A knowledge of contemporary issues

    K:    An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for 
           engineering practice
