Learning Goals & Outcomes
Bachelor of Arts in Engineering Science
-
Core Systems Mastery. In each of the three tracks, chemical, environmental and physical systems, students will demonstrate mastery of core principles, including qualitative understanding, interconnections, and limitations.
-
Problem Solving Proficiency. Students will demonstrate the appropriate use of a variety of quantitative methods—mathematical, analytic, and numerical—to solve complex problems in real-world contexts, model systems, and understand new or unfamiliar situations; and assess the reasonableness of the result.
-
Instrumentation/Laboratory Competency. Students will demonstrate the ability to design, execute, and analyze the results of laboratory experiments, and show familiarity with standard instrumentation, data collection, and statistical analysis techniques.
-
Design Creativity. Students will acquire design and/or implementation skills appropriate to the field, such as building electronic circuits, adapting standard equipment, programming, or performing numerical analysis, to solve problems or complete tasks, especially when ready-made resources are unavailable.
-
Independence. Students will develop self-motivated study and research skills (in the context of the classroom and/or in independent projects).
-
Communication Skills. Students will demonstrate effective communication skills, both written and oral, including the ability to communicate to audiences of different cultures and scientific backgrounds and teach a complex idea or method to others.
-
Team Work. Students will demonstrate ability to work collegially and collaboratively in diverse and interdisciplinary teams.
