All MABE undergraduate degree programs are accredited by Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Graduate programs are accredited by SACS.

Mechanical Engineering

Mission Statement

The mission of the Mechanical Engineering program is to provide a broad-based integration of courses and experience that prepares its graduates to practice their profession successfully, to apply their skills to solve current engineering problems collaboratively, and to help advance the knowledge and engineering practice in their field.

The educational objectives of the mechanical engineering program are:

  • Graduates will meet or exceed the expectations of employers of mechanical engineers, such as industry, government, academia or non-governmental organizations.
  • Graduates will continue professional development by participating in structured professional activities and/or by obtaining professional registration or certification, post-graduate credits and/or advanced degrees.

Student Outcomes

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
  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;
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
  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;
  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;
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Aerospace Engineering

Mission Statement

The mission of the Aerospace Engineering program is to provide students with the opportunity and encouragement for high quality education in aerospace engineering leading to successful placement and practice in the profession.

The educational objectives of the aerospace engineering program are:
