Program Outcomes (at graduation)

We believe the following outcomes are highly consistent with our educational mission statement and objectives.

They define in detail what we mean by the capabilities that we want our students to possess at the time of graduation. These include both technical skills and professional abilities (such as communication skills, ability to work in teams, and ethical analysis) that enable them to serve the mining industry and society at large.

The Program Outcomes of the BS MinE program have been established to assure that:

1. Students are well prepared in the application of mathematics, science, and engineering.
2. Students are well prepared to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
3. Students are well prepared to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
4. Students have an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
5. Students have an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
6. Students have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
7. Students have an ability to communicate effectively.
8. Students have the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.
9. Students have a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
10. Students have a knowledge of contemporary issues.
11. Students have an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
12. Students have an understanding of the importance of economics, environment, health and safety issues in the operations of modern mines.
