Program Educational Objectives

Program educational objectives are broad and long-term career accomplishments that students are expected to achieve within a few years of graduation. Within 3-5 years of graduation, B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology graduates will demonstrate that:

They are well-rounded engineering technologists who can apply knowledge and skills in their careers.

They consider the context and broader impacts of engineering solutions in professional practice.

They effectively communicate to a broad spectrum of audiences and have the teamwork and leadership skills to excel professionally.

They have the flexibility to adapt to changing technology and recognize the need for continuous improvement, self-study or further education.

Student Outcomes

Student outcomes are technical and professional skills our students are expected to attain by the time of graduation. At the time of graduation, graduates of the Rowan Mechanical Engineering Technology program will have attained the following skills as required for an engineering technology program accredited by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).

an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;

an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;

an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;

an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and

an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
