Educational Program Objectives
The undergraduate programs in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering have the following objectives:(1) Graduates will be prepared with an education in mathematics, science, engineering and computational methods to be able to apply the fundamental principles to solve problems in engineering.
(2) The undergraduate curriculum will cover both fundamental and applied sciences to prepare students for a professional engineering career or for entry to graduate schools.
(3) Graduates will be provided with sufficient preparation to integrate the fundamental principles with engineering design requirements, fully implementing modern tools such as digital computers and state-of-the-art laboratory equipment.
(4) Students will be given the education and the capability to analyze, design and build systems based on demands in both small- and large-scale industries.
(5) Students will be provided with a balanced education covering the technical areas together with the required general education and engineering economics to produce competent technical innovators, as well as industrial leaders.
(6) Students will be given a curriculum with sufficient diversity so that the graduating senior will have the necessary background to handle societal, ethical and environmental issues affecting technical decisions. Graduates will be prepared with communication skills to effectively deal with and work with persons and teams of diverse technical and non-technical backgrounds.
