OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the undergraduate Mechanical Engineering programme are to prepare its graduates to:

• actively engage in engineering practice or in other fields, such as education, science, business, public policy, politics, or governance for sustainable development.
• retain intellectual curiosity that will motivate them to pursue meaningful lifelong learning via graduate education in engineering or related fields, participation in professional development and/or industrial training courses, and/or obtain engineering certification.
• develop successful careers as mechanical engineers and apply their mechanical engineering education to address the full range of technical and societal problems with professional engineering competence, creativity, imagination, confidence, and responsibility.
• occupy positions of increasing responsibility and/or assignments and aspire to positions of leadership within their profession for enhanced community participation and qualitative service delivery; and
• exhibit the highest ethical and professional standards, and, as agents of positive change, communicate the importance and excitement of Mechanical Engineering.
