Concentrations in Manufacturing

“Program outcomes … describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation,” and “relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire in their matriculation through the program”(TAC-ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Technology Programs).

1.    Students analyze problems, plan and conduct tests, interpret and use test results to develop solutions. 

 2.    Students create and implement solutions integrating people, productivity software and equipment.

3.    Students communicate information in written, oral, and graphical forms.

 4.    Students work as a team to deliver results in a timely fashion.

 5.    Students recognize the importance of quality and the need for continuous improvement. 

 6.    Students are aware of ethical, social, environmental, and diversity issues; globalization; and the need for lifelong learning.
