Program Learning Outcomes


Program Educational Objectives

Graduates of the Engineering Technology program will be considered successful if after a few years from their graduation they can:

  1. Apply knowledge, techniques, skill, and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems.
  2. Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems.
  3. Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in technical and non-technical environments, including identification and use of appropriate technical literature.
  4. Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments to analyze and interpret results.
  5. Function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical and/or interdisciplinary teams.
  6. Engage in their communities in engineering and technology education opportunities.
  7. Exhibit ethical workplace behavior.

Student Learning Outcomes

The outcomes of the Engineering Technology program are those proposed by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Each graduate will take from the Engineering Technology program:

  1. 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.
  2. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
  3. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments
  4. An ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
  5. An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
  6. An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.
