Student Learning Outcomes and Program Educational Objectives: Industrial Engineering BS
Student Learning Outcomes
Students will demonstrate attainment of the following learning outcomes upon graduating:
1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. An ability 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
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
Program Educational Objectives
1. Systems Integrators – Develop graduates who will draw upon broad knowledge and critical thinking to produce integrated systems-based engineering solutions that include the consideration of realistic constraints within contemporary global, societal, and organizational contexts.
2. Life-Long Learners – Cultivate curious graduates who will apply independent inquiry to expand their skill set to adapt and thrive in the complex and steadily evolving field of industrial engineering. Our graduates will be prepared for and inspired to seek graduate education, training, or professional development.
3. Engineering Professionals – Train graduates who will make ethically and socially responsible decisions while demonstrating leadership and accountability. Our entrepreneurial minded graduates will take initiative while working both independently as well as collaboratively.
