Program Objectives

The Program Educational Objectives for the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Regional Engineering Program (BSME - REP).are similar to those adopted by the Woodruff School faculty in 2005 with Educational Objective C being slightly different for the Atlanta and Savannah programs.

The Program Educational Objectives adopted on December 11, 2006, after input from and consultation with various constituencies, are:

  1. To graduate engineers prepared for successful careers and empower them to be lifelong learners;
  2. To graduate engineers who are able to solve problems using analysis that is anchored in the engineering sciences and/or computational tools;
  3. To graduate engineers who are able to design engineering systems for a global economy. This necessitates the development of skills that include the ability to formulate problems, to think creatively, to communicate effectively, to synthesize information, and to work ethically and collaboratively in a distributed engineering environment;
  4. To graduate engineers who are able to use experimental and data analysis techniques to understand engineering phenomena and / or validate them; and
  5. To graduate engineers who understand their professional and ethical responsibilities to society.
