项目认证

The 工程系 is accredited by the 工程 Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

The philosophy of the engineering program at Harvey Mudd College is based on the recognition that there is a professional component that is best addressed through practice gained by working on real problems.  The engineering program philosophy is adopted to produce generalists, able to communicate across disciplines through the use and understanding of mathematics and 系统-based analysis, who can design effective and innovative solutions to discipline specific problems. Our goal is to graduate students capable of solving real problems that span multiple engineering disciplines.  This goal is realized through our three main curricular areas of focus (design, 系统, 和工程科学), as well as through our emphasis on professional practice.  We teach a rigorous theoretical and broad background in these three areas of focus.  Layered on this broad-based education is a professional practice component, which is realized through hands-on experiences in the classroom throughout the program, 研究的机会, and our junior/senior capstone industry-sponsored clinic projects.

The 工程系 adopted the following program education objectives (PEOs) that are reviewed by our constituencies on a regular basis. Our program educational objectives are consistent with the college mission, 我们的太阳2注册平台理念, and are broad 状态ments that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation. Program educational objects are based on the needs of the program’s constituencies.

Harvey Mudd College seeks to produce exceptionally competent engineers who will:

  1. 演示 breadth and technical excellence in professional activities
  2. 参与 in the lifelong process of independent, reflective learning
  3. 引领 responsibly through their engineering judgment and practice
  4. 显示 an awareness of the impact of their work on the world

Achievement of PEOs is based on student outcomes (SOs) that are adopted from ABET Criterion 3. SOs describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. 这些与知识有关, 技能, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program. 这些都是:

  1. 识别能力, 制定, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, 科学, 和数学.
  2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, 安全, 和福利, 以及全球, 文化, 社会, 环境, 经济因素.
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. 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, 经济, 环境, 以及社会背景.
  5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, 建立目标, 计划任务, 达到目标.
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, 分析和解释数据, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
