Accreditation

The Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

The Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering program at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) has the following Program Educational Objectives for undergraduate alumni within three to five years after graduation:

1. Graduates are successful in developing pathways to professional careers in manufacturing engineering and related areas.
2. Graduates are professional and ethical practitioners who integrate safety and socioeconomic concerns in resolving technical problems.
3. Graduates function effectively in, or lead multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural teams.
4. Graduates engage in continuous improvement and life-long learning, through graduate study, professional training programs, and independent study.

The Student Outcomes are the set of outcomes that students should obtain from their education before graduation. It will be demonstrated that the student has:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. 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.
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, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. 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.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
