Graduates from UW-Eau Claire’s Materials Science and Engineering program are expected to attain or achieve the following within a few years of graduation:

1. Develop effective solutions to materials-related engineering and science problems in either the workforce or in an advanced degree program.

2. Lead with distinction, communicate clearly, collaborate respectfully and innovate.

3. Address modern societal challenges in materials science and engineering within global, economic, environmental, and ethical contexts.

4. Utilize industry-standard engineering tools, including instrumental and computational tools, to design solutions to real-world problems.

The MS+E Student Learning Outcomes are the same outcomes (1) through (7) described by ABET that are in effect as of the 2019-2020 review year:

Outcome 1 -- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics                                                                                            

Outcome 2 -- 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                                                                                                       

Outcome 3 -- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences                       

Outcome 4 -- 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

 Outcome 5 -- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives                            

Outcome 6 -- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

Outcome 7 -- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
