The Department’s mission and objectives are derived from the College mission and objectives statements.

The mission of the Mechanical engineering Department is to produce mechanical engineering graduates who possess the acumen, competence, and skills needed to enter, succeed, and lead in professional practice and/or graduate school. The goal is to provide a learning and nurturing environment that stimulates faculty and students to collaborate in solving practical problems, motivates life-long learning, and helps them reach their highest potential.

The Department faculty in consultation with its constituents adopted seven objectives for the program, expecting that:

Graduating students of the mechanical engineering program will be able to accomplish the following objectives:

1. Will be prepared to enter professional practice, or pursue advanced studies
2. Will be prepared to succeed in local, regional, national and international practice
3. Will be prepared for lifelong learning
4. Will realize satisfaction in the educational investment
5. Will be prepared to pursue opportunities in mechanical engineering
6. Will be prepared to meet global technological and societal changing needs
7. Will be prepared to interact globally with engineering technology

 Program Outcomes:

1. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
2. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
3. An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs
4. An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
5. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
6. An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
7. An ability to communicate effectively
8. The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context
9. A recognition of the need for, and the ability to engage in life-long learning
10. A knowledge of contemporary issues
11. An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
