ABET Criterion 3 Program Outcomes
(To be reached by Instructional Objectives)
The Outcomes can be thought of as attributes of an engineer. Any given course is unlikely to emphasize more than a few of the Outcomes; however, the program as a whole should ensure that every student develop the full set.
- Principles: an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- Design: 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
- Communication: an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- Professionalism: 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
- Teamwork: an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plans plan tasks, and meet objectives
- Analysis: an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- Learning: an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
