Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, BSMME

Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering are two closely related fields of engineering that deal with the design, development, and production of mechanical systems and products. This includes designing and optimizing production processes, such as machining, welding, and assembly, as well as developing and improving manufacturing systems to increase efficiency and reduce costs.

Program Educational Objectives

Program educational objectives are the broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve3. The SOE faculty collaborated with our Industry Advisory Board (IAB) and developed the following educational objectives for the proposed mechanical and manufacturing Engineering program.

1. Graduates are employed in the profession and advance through promotion.
2. Graduates ere adept at working in teams and are proficient in social skills to perform effectively in the global technological corporate environment and community; and
3. Graduates will remain technically competent through continuous education and professional engagement.

Program Learning Outcomes/Student Outcomes (SO)

Student outcomes are statements that describe what students are expected to know or be able to do by the time they complete an academic program. We have adopted these learning outcomes from Engineering Commission of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) and approved by our IAB. By the time of graduation, the students in the mechanical and manufacturing engineering (MME) program at BGSU will have achieved the following Student Outcomes (SO).

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. 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.
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze, and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

In the following sections, we provide the mapping of student outcomes with core courses in the proposed MME program. We also provided the assessment cycles for the proposed program. The assessment of student outcomes occurs on a three-year cycle using at least one course for every student outcome.
