Program Outcomes
The Program Outcomes (POs) for the BSPFE program reflect the skills that the students will have obtained by the time of graduation from the program. The POs are:
- an ability to solve polymer and fiber engineering problems by applying knowledge of mathematics, sciences, and engineering;
- an ability to design and conduct experiments and to analyze and interpret data;
- an integrated understanding of the scientific and engineering principles underlying the four major elements of polymer and fiber engineering: structure, properties, processing, and performance related to polymer and fiber systems;
- an ability to apply and integrate knowledge of the structure, properties, processing, and performance of polymers and fibers to solve materials selection and design problems;
- an ability to design a system, component, or process to specified performance objectives and needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
- an ability to function effectively on multidisciplinary teams;
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve polymer and fiber engineering problems;
- an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities as a polymer and fiber engineer;
- an ability to communicate effectively in both written reports and oral presentations;
- a broad understanding of the impact of polymer and fiber engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context;
- a recognition of the need for, and the ability to engage in, life-long learning;
- a knowledge of contemporary issues; and
- an ability to solve polymer and fiber engineering problems in practice by using modern engineering techniques, skills, and tools such as experimental, statistical, and computational methods.
