\u00a0The Engineering (BSEngr) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https:\/\/www.abet.org<\/a>, under the commission\u2019s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Engineering, General Engineering, Engineering Physics, and Engineering Science.. It is housed in a dedicated, state-of-the-art facility near a newly renovated dormitory reserved in part for science majors. Courses emphasize solving engineering problems and obtaining practical experience through internships. The baccalaureate degree provides a broad background in mechanics of materials, structures and control systems. Our engineering program enjoys a unique partnership with local industries; real-world engineering problem\u2010solving is enhanced by practical experience our majors receive through industry internship opportunities. The students are also required to work on a senior capstone engineering design project overseen by a faculty member.<\/p>\n

  2. Be effective citizens and contributors to free and democratic society through the use of technical, ethical, social, leadership, and communication skills, and<\/li>\n
  3. Be life-long learners by engaging themselves in professional activities in the field of engineering<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Student Outcomes<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics<\/li>\n
    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<\/li>\n
    3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences<\/li>\n
    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<\/li>\n
    5. 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<\/li>\n
    6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions<\/li>\n
    7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies<\/li>\n
    8. An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
