The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (ENGNR.BS) is designed to prepare students for careers in the broad field of engineering through exposure to multiple engineering disciplines. This interdisciplinary foundation equips graduates with the knowledge and flexibility to pursue a wide range of engineering pathways, including advanced study in a specific discipline.

Engineering Program Objectives and Student Outcomes

Our undergraduate engineering program is guided by a set of objectives that have been developed in consultation with students, faculty, alumni, and industry representatives. Together, the Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes provide a framework for preparing graduates for professional success and continuous growth.

Program Educational Objectives

Program Educational Objectives describe the overall career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve withing a few years following graduation. The Program Educational Objectives of the Lee University Engineering program are as follows.

Graduates of Lee University’s Bachelor of Engineering Program will:

Glorify God through their faith and vocation by applying their technical knowledge, analytical abilities, and problem-solving skills to address societal needs.
Lead within their field, collaborate with teams of working professionals, and communicate effectively to the public.
Continue to build upon the foundational knowledge gained at Lee University and pursue professional engineering licensure (PE) and/or other professional certifications related to their field of work.

Student Outcomes

Student outcomes represent the core knowledge, skills, and abilities that students are expected to develop throughout the program and demonstrate by the time of graduation.

Lee University Engineering graduates will be able to demonstrate that they have:

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 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.
