d. Specific Outcomes of Instruction
By the end of this course, the student should be able to:
 Identify, Formulate, and Solve complex engineering problems by applying
principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
 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.
 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.
