The Student Outcomes Performance Indicators
The program must prepare graduates to attain the ability to:
1) Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
A. Applies principles of engineering, science, and mathematics to solve complex engineering problems.
B. Selects appropriate principles of engineering, science, and mathematics to identify and formulate engineering problems.
2) 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.
A. Identifies constraints on the design problem and establishes criteria for acceptability and desirability of solutions.
B. Evaluate and analyze the impact of the design on public health, safety, and welfare, global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3) Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
A. Presentation skills and grammar are appropriate.
B. Body language and clarity of speech enhances communication.
4) 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.
A. Knows code of ethics, design standards and code of practice for the discipline.
B. Identify and make an informed judgment on the impact of the environmental, economic, social, and global issues and incorporate that sensitivity into the engineering situations.
5) Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
A. Integrates input from all team members, improves communication among teammates and makes decisions in relation to objective criteria.
B. Demonstrates the ability to monitor team progress and make suggestions when needed to assure team success.
6) Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
A. Determines data that are appropriate to collect and selects appropriate equipment, protocols, etc. for measuring the appropriate variables to get required data.
B. Uses appropriate tools to analyze data, verify, and validate experimental results including the use of statistics to account for experimental error.
7) Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
A. Able to study a new topic without guidance.
B. Able to find information relevant to problem solution without guidance.
