Manufacturing Engineering Program

ABET Accreditation

The Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department offers a Manufacturing Engineering Program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree.

The Manufacturing Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria, and the Program Criteria for Manufacturing and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) of the Manufacturing Engineering Program

ABET’s definition of Program Educational Objectives (PEO): “Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation. Program educational objectives are based on the needs of the program’s constituencies.”

PEO 1: Experience successful careers in industry, research, or academia.

PEO 2: Continue to pursue knowledge and professional growth

PEO 3: Perform leadership roles by enhancing collaboration between engineers, scientists, professionals, and businesspeople.

PEO 4: Positively impact the fiscal performance of manufacturing enterprises.

Student Outcomes (SOs) of the Manufacturing Engineering Program

ABET’s definition of Student Outcomes (SO): “Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program.”

Students completing the Manufacturing Engineering program will attain:

SO 1: an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

SO 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.

SO 3: an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

SO 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.

SO 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.

SO 6: an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

SO 7: an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
