Engineering Program Goals

Relocation

Due to the demolition of Cowley Hall and construction of Prairie Springs Science Center Phase II, the Physics Department will be temporarily relocated to 339G Wimberly Hall. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Program Educational Objectives

In a few years after graduation, alumni of the Engineering Physics major at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse will:

  1. Have either obtained a job or have pursued graduate studies in a scientific or an engineering-related field.
  2. Have contributed to advancements in scientific research and/or technological innovation while maintaining high standards of ethics and professionalism.
  3. Have increased their own knowledge and skills in order to be adaptable contributors in the ever-changing landscape of science and technology.

Student Learning Outcomes

By the time they graduate, students in the Engineering Physics major will be able to:

  1. Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. 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.
  3. Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. 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.
  5. Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
