Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The Â鶹ÊÓƵ B.S. Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of , under the commission’s General Criteria with no applicable program criteria, having received initial accreditation in 2019.

We launched our B.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering in Fall of 2026, and will be seeking accreditation for those programs soon.

Program educational objectives

Program educational objectives describe the broad accomplishments graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation. They are shaped by the needs of the program’s constituents and reviewed periodically to remain consistent with those needs and the university’s mission.

Within a few years of graduation, graduates of the B.S. in Engineering are expected to:

1. Demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the natural sciences, mathematics, humanities, and social sciences in their professional activities.
2. Apply a broad multi-disciplinary approach to addressing societal challenges and user needs.
3. Engage in continuous, independent learning to explore topics and projects about which they are passionate.
4. Create value for society by entering the engineering profession, engaging in scientific research, or pursuing graduate study in engineering.
5. Strengthen professional and service outcomes by cultivating collaborative, responsible practice as strong leaders.
6. Communicate effectively in both written and verbal formats with a range of audiences.

Student learning outcomes

Student learning outcomes describe the knowledge, skills and behaviors students are expected to demonstrate by graduation. These outcomes provide the foundation for graduates to achieve the program’s educational objectives in the years that follow.

The Â鶹ÊÓƵ B.S. Engineering program has seven student learning outcomes based on Criterion 3 of . Upon completion of the program, graduates will have the following:

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
2. 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;
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
4. 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;
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions; and
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
