Engineering, B.S.E.
Program Educational Objectives
The Engineering degree from Point Loma Nazarene University is designed to provide a foundation for productive engineering practice. Our recent graduates will engage in:
- Problem Solving and Continuous Learning: Applying critical thinking and principles from engineering, science, and mathematics to identify customer-centric solutions to complex problems, while fostering a commitment to the lifelong learning necessary to be an effective engineer.
- Sustainable and Ethical Practices: Designing and implementing safe, sustainable, and practical engineering solutions that economically address societal needs while considering global and ethical implications of their work.
- Collaboration and Communication: Working effectively in multidisciplinary teams to understand the big picture and their role in the project, while demonstrating leadership, professionalism, and communication skills.
Program Learning Outcomes
Graduates of the program will demonstrate:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- 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.
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- Students will effectively communicate complicated technical information in writing.
- Students will effectively communicate complicated technical information orally.
- Students will be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively and responsibly use and cite information for the task at hand.
- 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.
- 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.
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
