Student Outcomes
Based on the program objectives and ABET Criteria (2018-2020), the following program outcomes that all graduates of MET program, at the time of graduation, will demonstrate are:
- 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.
For baccalaureate degree programs, student outcomes must include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Application of principles of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing;
- Use of computer aided drafting and design software;
- Perform selection, set-up, and calibration of measurement tools/instrumentation;
- Elements of differential and integral calculus;
- Manufacturing processes;
- Material science and selection;
- Solid mechanics (such as statics, dynamics, strength of materials, etc.);
- Mechanical system design;
- Thermal sciences (such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, etc.);
- Electrical circuits (ac and dc) and electronic controls;
- Application of industry codes, specifications and standards; and
- Technical communications typically used in preparation of engineering proposals, reports, and specifications.
The capstone experience, ideally multidisciplinary in nature, must be project-based and include formal design, implementation and test processes.
