- be recognized for their professional contributions in industry, academia, and government,
- provide effective technical, strategic, and administrative leadership of teams and organizations,

Evaluation and Revision of Program Educational Objectives
These Educational Objectives are established based on input from the Mechanical Engineering Department constituents which are comprised of two groups:
- primary constituents, for which the curriculum is mainly structured, include the students, alumni, and industry
- secondary constituents include the faculty, community (general public), and profession (i.e., practicing engineers and professional societies)
Based on the feedback and input from the constituents, adjustments are made to the Program Educational Objectives whenever a need is identified. The assessment and revision process is illustrated below.
