in advanced study.
- Functions effectively in multidisciplinary teams, is able to communicate
effectively and use scientific and technological tools.
- Engages in service activities such as participation in professional
societies or community groups and always recognizes the environmental, societal, and ethical contexts of his/her work.
Program Outcomes
The Aerospace Engineering Program has selected the following Program Outcomes and regularly evaluates course content to ensure that they are being met:
- an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
- an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
- an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
- an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
- an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
- an ability to communicate effectively
- the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
- a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
- a knowledge of contemporary issues
- an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
