Department Educational Objectives:
We consider program educational objectives as the general characteristics our graduates demonstrate to the workplace, graduate school, the military, or their endeavors after they leave Miami. We typically measure these characteristics initially at graduation by asking graduates if they feel they have achieved these characteristics then periodically thereafter through employer surveys, letters from graduates, advisory council, graduate school accomplishments, and surveys of graduates who have been out for awhile. These characteristics should become most evident within their first few years after graduation. The Engineering Technology Department's graduates are able to:
- Apply math and physics principles to the solution of engineering technical problems.
- Use applied skills to identify, evaluate, and solve complex technical problems.
- Use engineering computer software to facilitate engineering problem solving.
- Function effectively in team-oriented activities.
- Demonstrate the knowledge of expected standards of ethical and professional conduct.
- Verbally communicate ideas.
- Prepare well-written technical reports.
- In addition, our graduates will have the necessary fundamentals to pursue life-long learning.
Program-Specific Educational Objectives:
Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (AD) The ECET program produces graduates who:
- Analyze digital and analog electrical and electronic circuits, identify problem areas, and maintain these systems.
- Function effectively as electrical and computer engineering technicians in state and regional industries.
Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology (BS Completion Program) The EMET program produces graduates who:
- Possess the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to solve engineering technology problems associated with instrumentation and control systems.
- Are knowledgeable of modern applications in process control systems.
Mechanical Engineering Technology (AD & BS) The MET program produces graduates who:
- Are able to analyze and design complex mechanical components and systems.
- Are able to set-up experimental testing procedures and selectively utilize data to reinforce engineering concepts.
- Have a basic understanding of modern manufacturing methods used to facilitate the production of consumer products.
- Are able to effectively and efficiently manage engineering projects (BS Only).
