Educational outcomes for baccalaureate
students in Manufacturing Engineering
Objective 1
Students will possess the ability to use the modern techniques,
skills, and engineering tools necessary for the practice
of industrial engineering; to synthesize the results obtained
through the use of these tools; and to communicate these
results effectively.
Outcomes:
Students will have the ability to:
1. Analyze mechanical and electrical behavior.
2. Analyze and optimize systems.
3. Produce effective documentation.
4. Effectively present analyses and conclusions.
Objective 2
Students will possess the ability to design and execute
experiments; analyze and interpret the data obtained through
the execution of these experiments; and communicate the
results of these analyses.
Outcomes:
Students will have the ability to:
1. Describe and measure component and system
performance parameters.
2. Identify possible cause and effect relationships
between component and system input and performance parameters.
3. Design and employ procedures to test
the validity of hypothesized cause and effect relationships.
4. Effectively describe and report the nature
of these types of relationships, where they are found to
exist.
Objective 3
Students will possess the ability to identify and solve
industrial engineering problems; to design and integrate
systems comprised of material, information, energy, and
personnel elements; and to communicate these designs effectively.
Outcomes:
Students will have the ability to:
1. Recognize the potential for improvement
in the performance parameters associated with components
and systems, when that potential exists.
2. Formulate the models/methods by which
performance enhancement may be achieved.
3. Design methods by which human, physical,
capital, and informational inputs may be combined efficiently
to produce system output.
4. Evaluate the costs and benefits associated
with performance enhancement and system integration.
5. Describe, report, and present analyses,
designs, and results.
Objective 4
Students will possess the ability to make ethical engineering
decisions in an environmental and societal framework.
Outcomes:
Students will have the ability to:
1. Identify situations in which ethical
and societal concerns may arise.
2. Evaluate ethical and societal concerns
in their proper contexts.
3. Evaluate product/process issues in an
environmental context, and from a product life cycle perspective.
4. Engage in life-long learning.
