Adopted by the Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty--October 3, 2003

Consistent with the Vision and Mission statements of the University of Kentucky, the undergraduate programs in mechanical engineering strive to meet the following educational objectives:

The Mechanical Engineering program will prepare our students for successful practice or academic pursuits in mechanical engineering.

1. Our graduates will have the knowledge in analytical, computational, and experimental methods to begin engineering practice or continue their education.   This will include the ability to design components and systems and to solve engineering problems using current analysis and computational methods.
   
   
2. Our graduates will have a broad education and the communication skills needed for a variety of career options and an appreciation of the need for life-long learning.
   
   
3. Our graduates will have an understanding of the societal, environmental and ethical responsibilities of engineers.
