Today’s engineers need to think about sociological, cultural, and environmental impacts of designs. That’s why our program combines the rigorous foundation of engineering courses with the human dimensions of technology through a curriculum grounded in the liberal arts.
- ABET Accredited
- Small class sizes
- Close-tied industrial partnerships
- Industrial partnerships for work experience
- Newly equipped educational laboratories
- Combined hands-on experience and fundamental education
- Targeted and well-equipped educational laboratory experiments

Program Objectives and Student Learning Outcomes
Mechanical Engineering Student Learning Outcomes
Students who succesfully complete the Mechanical Engineering program at the University of Jamestown will have the ability to:
- Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- 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.
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
- Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- Develop and conduce appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
Life After Graduation
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) for Mechanical Engineering are that within a few years of graduation Mechanical Engineering alumni should be able to:
- Obtain professional licensure
- Integrate technological advances, ethical concerns, and current evidence into engineering practice
