Undergraduate Program Expected Outcomes

The expected Program Outcomes derived from the Program Educational Objectives are:

1.   The students graduating in aerospace engineering will possess the skills in mathematics, physics and chemistry required to solve real world problems.

2.   The students will have a firm understanding of engineering science fundamentals that enables them to analyze real world problems and propose an appropriate solution to these problems.

3.   The students will have an ability to apply their knowledge in aerospace fundamental disciplines to the analysis and design of components. These aerospace fundamental disciplines include aerodynamics; aerospace materials and structures; propulsion; space environment and space systems; communications and avionics systems; orbital and flight mechanics; and stability & control.

4.   The students will have the ability to work in teams and (1) carry out simplified design problems from the conceptual level to the realization of a manufacturing plan, or (2) design complex systems, such as aircraft or spacecraft, from a preliminary design point of view. Projects address economic and business aspects such as commercial viability.

5.   The students will have the ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.

6.   The students will have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.

7.   The students will have the ability to build on their knowledge and will be trained to be lifelong learners, pursuing and interested in independent study, research and development.

8.   The students will have good oral, written and graphical communication skills.

9.   The students will be trained in the role of the engineer in society, and have an awareness of environmental concerns in the engineering profession.

10. The students will have knowledge of contemporary issues and current projects in aerospace engineering and of technical, design, and business challenges faced by the aerospace industry.
