WASC
Program Mission Statement
To educate tomorrow’s technology leaders.
Program Educational Objectives
| To provide our students with training in the fundamental science and mathematics that underlie engineering, and with a general breadth and depth in engineering and in engineering design so that they are prepared for graduate school and for engineering careers. Students should have both proficiency in a specific technical area, and the flexibility and broad knowledge base needed for life-long engineering careers in a changing technical environment. |
| To ensure that our students are educated in the classical sense. In particular, that they are broadly aware of social and environmental issues and of the impact of their profession on these issues. |
| To assist our students in preparing themselves to work effectively in their profession. Specifically, to develop communications, teamwork, and leadership skills. |
