Educational objectives and student outcomes
Consistent with the Fort Lewis College mission, our Program Educational Objectives define what our alumni achieve in their careers, while our Student Outcomes describe the knowledge and skills students develop throughout their education.
Bachelor of Science in Engineering
Program Educational Objectives
- Alumni successfully utilize engineering principles for design and analysis as needed by their field.
- Alumni consistently exhibit effective communication, teamwork, and ethical behavior as standard practice in the workplace and continue to learn through workplace experiences as well as through formal educational opportunities.
- Alumni successfully pursue a broad range of career paths.
Student Outcomes
By graduation, students will have:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- 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
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- 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
- 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
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
