Furthermore, the
ABET EC
2005-2006
program criteria
for mechanical
engineering
programs states
that the program
must demonstrate
that graduates
have:
| A. | Knowledge of chemistry and calculus-based physics with depth in at least one |
| B. | The
ability
to apply
advanced
mathematics
through
multivariate
calculus
and differential equations |
| C. | Familiarity with statistics and linear algebra |
| D. | The ability to work professionally in both thermal and mechanical systems areas including the design and realization of such systems |
