ENGINEERING
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The Engineering Science minor, the 3/2 Engineering Cooperative with Oregon State University, and the Pre-Engineering program are designed to initiate the process that leads to engineering licensure while maintaining a unique liberal arts base. The problem-solving approaches developed in the curriculum enhance critical thinking and can be applied to a wide range of endeavors, including the many engineering professions.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon completion of the engineering science minor, students will:
¥ Be proficient in the problem-solving approaches, both theoretical and experimental, used by engineers. This includes proficiency in the computer simulation.
¥ Have an understanding of the main areas of engineering, especially electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering.
¥ Have a good understanding of laboratory instrumentation, and be able to design experiments and instrumentation as needed.
¥ Be able to communicate the knowledge and applications of engineering to peers and to the general public, orally and in writing.
MEANS OF ASSESSMENT
Several tools are used in assessing student learning. Examinations are designed to assess students' ability to apply fundamental concepts and problem-solving skills to the solutions of specific problems. The laboratory notebook is evaluated in courses containing a laboratory component. Evaluation of oral presentations and term papers is used in the upper-division courses. In the first-year course, the Force Concept Inventory exam is used to evaluate improvement in conceptual understanding by students.
