Expected outcomes of the BSME Program
In keeping with the requirements of the Engineering
Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology Engineering, the mechanical
engineering program requires that all its students will
demonstrate the ability to:
- Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and
- Design and conduct experiments, as well as
to analyze and interpret data;
- Design a system, component, or process to
meet desired needs;
- Function on multi-disciplinary teams;
- Identify, formulate, and solve engineering
- Understand professional and ethical
- Communicate effectively;
- Understand the impact of engineering
solutions in a global and societal context;
- Recognize the need for, and engage in
- Understand contemporary engineering issues;
- Use the techniques, skills, and modern
engineering tools necessary for engineering
In amplification, mechanical engineering graduates are
required to demonstrate:
- The ability to apply advanced mathematics
through multivariate calculus and differential
equations and familiarity with statistics and
- The ability to work professionally in both
thermal and mechanical systems areas including
the design and realization of such systems;
- Knowledge of contemporary analytical,
computational, and experimental practices;
- Competence in experimental design, data
collection, data analysis, and the use of
- Knowledge of chemistry and calculus-based
physics with depth in at least one of them.
Thus the program will ensure and demonstrate that its
students have attained the following outcomes.
- An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics
and science to solve mechanical engineering
- An ability to design and conduct experiments
in laboratory settings to verify, to analyze, to
evaluate, and to interpret data in mechanical
engineering theory and practice.
- An ability to design sub-systems, systems,
components and processes in the thermal and
mechanics stems of the mechanical engineering
- Be able to contribute to and function on a
multi-disciplinary team by assuming different
roles in concurrent design setting.
- Be able to problem solve by identifying and
formulating mechanical engineering problems.
- Have a clear understanding of their
professional and ethical responsibilities as
- An ability to communicate effectively both
orally and in writing, including graphically, to
a general audience and a technically advanced
- Understand clearly their roles and the
impact of their designs/solutions on society
both locally and globally.
- Have a definite plan for lifelong learning,
professional and personal development.
- Be cognizant of contemporary mechanical
engineering issues and be able to discuss these
freely and understandingly.
- An ability to use modern engineering tools
in order to formulate and solve engineering
