Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Maintenance Engineering (B.Sc. ME-MaE)

Foundation studies
School of Engineering
Program Description:

The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Maintenance Engineering (B.Sc. ME-MaE) degree program prepares graduates with the theoretical and technical knowledge, competencies and hands-on skills required to install, operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and manage mechanical systems in advanced manufacturing. In the first two years of study, students develop core academic competencies, practice functional skills related to subject knowledge, and develop critical thinking skills. In subsequent years, students practice applying theoretical skills and competencies related to industrial maintenance (including reliability centered maintenance, failure mode and effect analyses, and advanced functions of computerized maintenance management systems).

In the third year of studies students engage in an in-field training experience. In their final year, students conduct an in-depth research study of a mechanical/maintenance engineering-based problem, design, or technological application. The consolidation of the skill set developed in the B.Sc. ME-MaE program through the completion of a capstone project and work placement prepares graduates for exciting careers in mechanical engineering.

Program Educational Objectives:

Program educational objectives (PEOs) describe the knowledge, skills, and competencies a graduate can demonstrate within 2-3 years of graduation.

Within a few years of graduation from the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Maintenance Engineering (B.Sc.ME-MaE) program, graduates will be able to:

  • PEO01b. Demonstrate a strong foundation in scientific and technical knowledge
  • PEO02b. Display problem solving, critical-thinking, teamwork, and communication skills
  • PEO03b. Display success in various maintenance engineering technology careers
  • PEO04b. Integrate ethical and social codes, environmental regulations, and safety is-sues actively within professional careers
  • PEO05b. Demonstrate leadership within their chosen fields
  • PEO6b. Participate in identifying contemporary challenges and/or proposing action plans as solutions to tackle them

Student Learning Outcomes:

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) describe the knowledge, skills, and competencies a graduate can demonstrate immediately upon graduation.

Upon successful completion of the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Maintenance Engineering (B.Sc. ME- MaE) program, graduates will be prepared to:

  • SLO01b. Identity, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  • SLO02b. 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
  • SLO03b. Communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  • SLO04b. 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
  • SLO05b. Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
  • SLO06b. Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to conclude
