Mission

To serve society by developing creative engineering minds for the world of tomorrow!

Objectives

The Educational Objectives of the CME Program are to prepare graduates who:

1.Thoroughly understand the materials, processes, and performance of composites.

2. Can successfully address engineering problems within a given global, economic, environmental, and societal context.

3. Can design creative solutions to meet the needs of the composites industry.

4. Can design and recommend tests and properly interpret the results.

5. Can effectively communicate views and interact with others.

6. Can work in and function within multi-disciplinary teams.

7. Understand their responsibility to the engineering profession and demonstrate it by properly responding to ethical quandaries.

8. Have knowledge of contemporary issues and recognize the importance of sustaining this knowledge through life-long learning.

Outcomes

The Learning Outcomes of the CME program are demonstrated by students who have attained:

1. An understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics, science, and engineering science and their application in engineering.

2. The ability to identify, formulate, model and solve engineering problems.

3. The ability to use state-of-the-art engineering tools (experimental, computational, and statistical) necessary to select, analyze, design, fabricate, and test materials.

4. The ability to design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret data related to structure, properties, processing, and performance of materials.

5. The theoretical knowledge and hands-on ability to confidently design components, systems, and processes to meet the needs of the composites industry within a set of realistic constraints including economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.

6. The ability to communicate effectively in oral, written and visual forms.

7. The ability to work effectively in a team environment.

8. An understanding of the proper response to ethical issues and their responsibility to the engineering profession.

9. An understanding of the impact of their engineering decisions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.

10. Knowledge of contemporary issues and recognition of the importance of sustaining this knowledge through life-long learning.
