The Jefferson BSE in Mechanical Engineering graduates will: 

1. use their engineering ethics and education to lead successful and productive careers
2. be valued for their ability to apply their engineering, analytical, and creative skills in inclusive and collaborative environments
3. adapt to technology changes and a diverse global society throughout their professional lives by continuous learning, earning advanced degrees, professional training, and self-directed study

The Thomas Jefferson University mechanical engineering program assesses and evaluates all student outcomes identified by the ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission.

Graduates of the BSE in Mechanical Engineering program will demonstrate:

• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
• an ability to 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
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• an ability to 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
• an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
• an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
• an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
