Engineering (B.S.E) with General Concentration

Program Learning Outcomes

Program Educational Objectives 

• Graduates will be technically competent in their Engineering specialty area and able to perform essential engineering functions in their career of choice.
  • Furthermore, graduates will continue to learn and hone competencies necessary to their career through graduate education, participation in professional activities/societies, or other means relevant to their work.

• Graduates will influence or lead inter-disciplinary and diverse design teams to generate creative solutions that meet societal challenges.

• Graduates will conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the Christian faith, pursuing their work with a servant’s heart and a keen awareness of social responsibility.

Student Outcomes

Graduates from Messiah’s Engineering program demonstrate:

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
