机械工程 is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, 经验, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to use 经济ally the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.“很明显, 根据这个定义, engineers are to form the interface between sciences and society as they apply, 现实地说, 科学的发现.

The bachelor's program in mechanical engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

任务

The mission of the Department of 机械工程 is to provide students with high quality, accessible undergraduate and graduate mechanical engineering education; to engage and empower students with 技能 and knowledge to thrive in professional careers; and to serve society through 经济 and technological development of Southeast Texas and beyond.

Program Educational Objectives

Constituents: Current students, alumni, employers, and faculty
1. Advance professionally with increasing leadership and responsibility beyond entry level in an industry relevant to mechanical engineering.
2. Contribute to organizational objectives with significant societal benefits in an 环境ly and 道德ly responsible manner.
3. Engage in life-long learning through professional activities and training, the pursuit of higher educational degrees, and individual professional development.
