Key Summary
Mission
The Mechanical Engineering Program strives to graduate mechanical engineers who understand the ethical, social, economic, and environmental context of their profession and who apply their knowledge with judgment and responsibility to develop ways to utilize the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. The program prepares students to either immediately enter professional practice upon graduation or to pursue graduate studies, without neglecting the requirements for a fruitful life by emphasizing the University’s model of liberal arts education.
The curriculum of the program shares three basic tenets: scientific and technological excellence, balance between theory and practice, and a commitment to self-maintained and enduring personal and professional development. The results are mechanical engineers naturally inclined to life-long learning and problem solvers ready to deal with any technological challenge at local, regional, and/or international scales.
Accreditation
The Faculty of Engineering (FE) was officially accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, the global accreditor of college and university programs in applied sciences, computing, engineering, and engineering technology, across the three campuses in 2016 and retroactive to Fall 2013. The programs that were accredited are the following: Civil Engineering, Computer and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. In 2022, ABET reaffirmed the FE’s accreditation for a full cycle, a follow-up to the initial certification in 2016.
Program Educational Objectives
- Practice professionally in local, regional, and international work environments by effectively applying mechanical engineering fundamentals and utilizing state-of-the-art tools across the broad range of the mechanical engineering profession.
- Advance within their profession in a diverse environment, maintaining an ethical commitment to society and sustainability.
- Engage in continuous professional development and quality research activities, either by continually learning and improving or by pursuing graduate studies.
