The Bachelor of Science program in Mechanical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, , under the commission’s General Criteria and ذكذكتسئµ Criteria for Mechanical Engineering and Similar Named ذكذكتسئµs.
The Mechanical Engineering ذكذكتسئµ educational objectives are to produce exceptional graduates who within a few years after graduation:
The student outcomes used by the Mechanical Engineering ذكذكتسئµ are those published in the ABET “Criteria for Accrediting Engineering ذكذكتسئµs” document. Those outcomes are as follows:
The Mechanical Engineering ذكذكتسئµ criterion as listed in the ABET "Criteria for Accrediting Engineering ذكذكتسئµs" is as follows:
The curriculum must require students to apply principles of engineering, basic science, and mathematics (including multivariate calculus and differential equations); to model, analyze, design, and realize physical systems, components or processes; and prepare students to work professionally in either thermalor mechanical systems while requiring topics in each area.
The program must demonstrate that faculty members responsible for the upper-level professional program are maintaining currency in their specialty area.
The mission of the Department of Mechanical Engineering is to provide students with high quality, accessible undergraduate and graduate mechanical engineering education; to engage and empower students with skills and knowledge to thrive in professional careers; and to serve society through economic and technological development of Southeast Texas and beyond.
