Course learning objectives
Relationship of course to ME program outcomes
The following measurement standard is used to evaluate the relationship between the course outcomes and the educational-program outcomes: 3 = Strong 2 Emphasis, = Some Emphasis, 1 = Little or No Emphasis. (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering3 (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data2 (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs1 (d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams1 (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems2 (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility1 (g) an ability to communicate effectively2 (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global/societal context1 (i) a recognition of the need for and the ability to engage in life-long learning2 (j) a knowledge...
