Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Product Design & Manufacturing Engineering
Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes
The B.S.E. Product Design & Manufacturing Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org). See the program objectives, student outcomes and enrollment history below.
Program Educational Objectives:
Graduates of the Product Design and Manufacturing Engineering program are expected within a few years of graduation to:
- Demonstrate technical competency in their careers
- Function effectively in an industrial or academic environment
- Engage in professional development
- Shape their professions and societies
Feedback regarding the Product Design and Manufacturing Engineering program educational objectives is received from four primary constituencies:
- Students enrolled in the program;
- The employer base for the graduates and cooperative education students;
- The alumni of the program; and,
- The engineering faculty and administration
In addition to the four primary constituencies, the following external stakeholders are heavily involved in the success of the School of Engineering programs.
- The West Michigan community, in which the majority of our co-op students and graduates practice and contribute both professionally and personally;
- The State of Michigan
Student Outcomes:
The graduate will know and demonstrate:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- 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
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- 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
- 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
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
