MIME Undergraduate Educational Objectives
(December 1999)

Developed in conjunction with the students, faculty, alumni and industrial constituents, these objectives serve to
(i) characterize the mechanical and industrial engineering programs at Northeastern University and
(ii) support the missions of the department, college and university.

1. To educate students through a broad, theoretically based mechanical or industrial engineering curriculum. Mechanical engineers will achieve the ability to work professionally in both thermal and mechanical systems areas, including the design and realization of such systems. Industrial engineers will demonstrate the ability to design, analyze, improve and optimize integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment and energy.
   
2. To instill students with practical work skills involving current technology and technical tools, as well as an awareness of manufacturing, management and economic issues and commonly accepted norms for professional conduct.
   
3. To integrate academic learning with practice-oriented experience to promote professional development and career planning.
   
4. To provide students with learning experiences that instills a passion for life-long learning.
   
5. To involve students in leadership and contributing roles in interactive team environments.
   
6. To instruct our students to be effective communicators with good interpersonal skills.
   
7. To integrate our students’ engineering coursework with industrial, ethical, cultural, historical and societal perspectives, leading to an appreciation of the broad educational objectives (as specified in the University's ACE goals).
