Mechatronics Engineering, Bachelor of Science
Student Learning Outcomes
- Students will have the ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- Students will have the 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.
- Students will have the ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- Students will have the 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.
- Students will have the 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.
- Students will have the ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- Students will have the ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
- Program Educational Objectives. During the first few years after graduation, graduates should be able to:
- Propose and implement solutions to large-scale engineering problems in various industrial sectors.
- Lead and/or supervise teams to achieve project goals.
- Obtain jobs of increasing responsibility applying industrial engineering skills and knowledge to a wide range of problems in a wide range of industries.
- Continue their education at the graduate level.
- Obtain additional engineering certifications.
- Design new and improve existing mechatronic systems.
Outcomes Assessment Activities
- Program outcomes are mapped into course objectives and outcomes.
- Assessment of each program outcome is reflected in two or three courses. Each program outcome is evaluated and discussed at least every three years. Based on the results of discussions, corrective actions (if any) are prescribed.
- Every three years, the program's industrial advisory board, consisting of members of local and regional industry representatives, provides inputs on program objectives/outcomes which are then considered by the program faculty.
- During the final term of study, all engineering students are required to demonstrate their ability to apply and integrate the skills and knowledge learned in the program by producing a capstone engineering design project. This project must incorporate subject material covered in two or more courses in the student’s major, involve knowledge or skill not learned in a class thus demonstrating the student’s ability to engage in life-long learning, involve reflection on the impact of the proposed solution in a global and societal context, and be presented in written and oral reports to demonstrate the student’s communication skills.
