    Program educational objectives

    The educational objectives of the Engineering Design Technology program are listed below.

    Graduates should be able to:

    1. Use technological tools effectively in engineering design.
    2. Transfer engineering designs to engineering and manufacturing processes.
    3. Plan, design, analyze, implement, and improve cost-effective products and manufacturing/service systems.
    4. Communicate effectively in verbal, written, and graphic forms.
    5. Practice engineering design as a responsible, global professional.

    Student outcomes

    After completing the engineering design technology program, students will have

    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; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
    4. an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
    5. an ability to function effectively as a member or leader on  technical teams.
