Program Outcomes | Level of Contribution | |
1) | Build up a body of knowledge in mathematics, science and engineering subjects; use theoretical and applied information in these areas to model and solve engineering problems. | |
2) | identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems; select and apply proper analysis and modeling methods for this purpose. | |
3) | Design a complex system, process, device or product under realistic constraints and conditions, in such a way as to meet the desired result; apply modern design methods for this purpose. (Realistic constraints and conditions may include factors such as economic and environmental issues, sustainability, manufacturability, ethics, health, safety issues, and social and political issues, according to the nature of the design.) | |
