Program Educational Objectives:
The educational objectives of the Aerospace Engineering Program are three-fold:
a) Graduates will excel in their professional career to meet the expectations of employers of aerospace engineers.
b) Qualified graduates will be able to pursue advanced Aerospace Engineering degrees in excellent world universities if they so desire.
c) Graduates will assume leadership roles in their profession and in their communities.
Student outcomes:
It is expected that the graduates of the AE Program will exhibit the following outcomes at the time of graduation:
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.
