Student Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
Students will be able to 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.
Students will be able to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
Students will be able to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments in the light of a Christian worldview, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
Students will be able to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
Students will be able to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
Students will be able to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
