Program Outcome
The program is designed to produce highly qualified graduates who:
- Obtain a strong background in the fundamentals of the field, creativity, societal sensitivity and the independence of thought required for a successful career in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
- Obtain self-motivation and self-evaluation skills to acquire more knowledge in their area of specialization during their future professional career.
- Adopt a deductive approach to the learning process. This approach follows naturally from the fact that all physical phenomena important to Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineers are governed by a set of simple physical laws and are mathematically expressed by similar equations solved with the same methods.
- As successful Engineers, identify, define, understand and use physical laws to describe different problems.
- Evaluate, select and combine appropriate analytical, experimental and computational tools for problems of specialization.
- Apply these tools and solve problems to meet specific needs posed by society.
- Integrate new knowledge in their background to design, propose and compose new products and services.
- Apply their acquired knowledge and skills to a research project in the area of their specialization.
- Are able to prepare scientific reports and present their work in the scientific community.
- Are able to teach in academic institutes and supervise research projects and young scientists.
- Are able to lead a team for research and development in the industry.
