Mechanical Engineering Technology Program Outcomes

To effectively prepare the next generation of Mechanical Engineering Technologists, the department faculty used input from various constituencies along with ABET’s TAC Criterion 2 to develop the following Program Outcomes for NMU’s MET program.

1. Students will be proficient in mechanical design and analysis, including theory, software applications, test and analysis tools, and use of basic mechanical and electronic measurement/testing equipment.
2. Students will apply basic math, science, and communication skills to engineering applications, while adapting to rapidly changing technology.
3. Students will demonstrate the ability to enhance a system or process by evaluating experimental data results.
4. Students will apply knowledge and analytic skills to effectively identify and analyze engineering problems from multiple perspectives, assess proposed solution viability, and anticipate overall impact of proposed resolutions.
5. Students will demonstrate leadership and solidarity in a team environment.
6. Students will exhibit the ability to identify, analyze and solve technical mechanical system challenges.
7. Students will demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate to multiple audiences through a variety of venues, including verbal, written, graphical, and kinesthetic modes.
8. Students will recognize multiple opportunities to engage in lifelong learning.
9. Students will understand the ethical and professional responsibilities in the engineering field.
10. Students will establish a respect for and an understanding of diversity and social/global issues.
11. Students will focus on high-quality work, timeliness, and continuous improvement.
12. Students will be able to apply learned engineering principles to the analysis, design, development, and implementation of advanced mechanical systems.
13. Student will demonstrate a strong basis in engineering mechanics.
