Educate a select group of science-oriented engineers who, after graduation, will be successful and on track to become leaders among their peers as (1) advanced students in the best graduate programs in engineering, science, medical schools, or law schools, or (2) as engineers in industry, government laboratories and other organizations. In these endeavors, they will:
• apply and cultivate their understanding and mastery of the fundamental scientific, engineering, and professional principles at the foundation of Mechanics,
• apply advanced mathematical, computational and experimental techniques to respond to demands of advanced technology, economy, and efficiency that put an ever-increasing premium on the quantitative aspects of engineering,
• contribute to society as broadly educated, articulate, and ethical citizens, who are at ease in cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary teams, and
• strive to continually update and renew their knowledge throughout their careers, to excel in a rapidly changing world.
Students graduating from the B.S. in Engineering Mechanics will have demonstrated the ability to
1. Understand and apply the fundamentals of mathematics (through linear algebra and multivariate calculus), numerical methods, statistical analysis and physical sciences (physics and chemistry) necessary to attain competence in the mechanics or related disciplines such as applied physics, bioengineering or other scientific/engineering disciplines.
2. Understand the interplay between engineering science and the design, evaluation and reporting of experiments including analysis and statistical interpretation of data.
3. Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems in the mechanical sciences.
4. Use basic concepts from the mechanical sciences, mathematics, the basic sciences and related subjects, as well as modern engineering tools, to design mechanical engineering components and processes, taking into account constraints such as manufacturability, cost, safety, environmental and socio-political impacts,
5. Enter graduate school and/or professional practice with the tools needed for life-long learning and the recognition of its importance.
6. Use effective communication, multidisciplinary teamwork, and possess awareness of professional and ethical responsibilities, and an appreciation of the societal, economic, and environmental impacts of engineering.
