For baccalaureate degree programs, these student outcomes must include, but are not limited to, the following learned capabilities:

a. an ability to select and apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to broadly-defined engineering technology activities;

b. an ability to select and apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require the application of principles and applied procedures or methodologies;

c. an ability to conduct standard tests and measurements; to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments; and to apply experimental results to improve processes;

d. an ability to design systems, components, or processes for broadly-defined engineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives;

e. an ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team;

f. an ability to identify, analyze, and solve broadly-defined engineering technology problems;

g. an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;

h. an understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development;

i. an understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities including a respect for diversity;

j. a knowledge of the impact of engineering technology solutions in a societal and global context; and

k. a commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.

GPA Example

1. Look up the specific program criteria in your program (civil, or mechanical engineering technology) in the appropriate catalog. Develop a draft schedule showing the classes you plan to take each semester. Check: Prerequisites Course availability (only offered in the spring or fall?) Course load General education requirements

2. Choose another major that you think would be interesting and develop a draft schedule if you should change majors. List the courses you have taken (or are currently taking) that would count towards the new major and which would not count.

HW Assignment (individual)

3) Using the SUNYIT undergraduate catalog answer the following questions:

◦ What is the test-out policy used for?◦ What is Advanced Placement credit?◦ What is the difference between a dual baccalaureate degree and a

second major?◦ What is the “writing requirement” and which courses fulfill the

requirement?◦ What is the minimum upper division credit requirement?
