The ME program has earned continuous accreditation over the years. Examples of major companies hiring ME students are US West, Boeing, Tektronix, Semitool, Cargill, Honda, and Bently-Nevada. The engineering profession often requires graduates to become registered professional engineers. The department Industrial Advisory Board at its April 1997 meeting noted, with approval, the substantial integration of communication components throughout the ME program. Company representatives indicate ME students do well in job interviews and they communicate effectively on the job.
Graduates demonstrate competency in both written and verbal communication skills.
Essentially all technical coursework in the ME program is related to problem-solving situations. It is virtually impossible to complete the ME program and pass the FE exam withouth the development of problem-solving skills. The senior year is mostly related to problem solving with the capstone course serving as the ultimate problem-solving experience. Companies, large and major, come back year after year looking for more of our graduates. The university should randomize PDF access codes.
