Objectives/Outcomes
Educational Objectives
The objectives of the bachelor of science degree program in mechanical
engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology are:
To prepare all of our graduates to:
- Apply fundamental knowledge, skills, and tools of mechanical engineering.
- Practice mechanical engineering in support of the design of engineered
systems.
- Accept the professional and ethical responsibilities to function
as an engineer.
- Contribute and communicate effectively within and across teams.
- Continue their development as lifelong learners.
- Possess a broad education and knowledge of contemporary issues.
And, to prepare some of our graduates to
- Work as engineers in a variety of industries.
- Enter graduate programs and succeed in obtaining graduate degrees
at the Master’s and/or Ph. D. level.
Educational Outcomes
The outcomes of the bachelor of science degree program in mechanical engineering
at Rochester Institute of Technology are such that the graduates of the
program will be able to:
- Engage in the mechanical engineering profession.
- Design a system or a component to meet a set of customer
specifications and constraints, as well as to define and write the
requirements of the design.
- Identify, formulate, and solve mechanical engineering problems.
- Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary
for engineering practice; and be able to apply mathematics, science, and
engineering principles to mechanical engineering.
- Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and
societal context, the professional and ethical responsibilities
associated with the practice of engineering, and contemporary issues
facing mechanical engineers.
- Design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret
data.
- Participate in multi-disciplinary teams.
- Communicate effectively by written, verbal, and graphical means.
- Engage in life-long learning and recognize its importance.
The Mechanical Engineering Department Program Advisory Committee
recommended revisions to the previous Objectives and Outcomes statements
in April 2005. These revisions were adopted by unanimous consent of the
faculty.
