Educational Objectives of the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Program
The two principal constituencies of the School of NAME to which the above mission is directed are
- the maritime industry, and
- students
Although the industry constituency encompasses the marine industry nationally, its primary target is the shipbuilding and offshore industry in the State of Louisiana and the extended Gulf Coast region. The industry constituency is considered to include an alumni sub-constituency, as essentially the entire active alumni group is composed of industry professionals.
Graduates of the School of NAME BS program are to be recognized as well educated engineers consistently demonstrating exemplary professional capabilities. The graduates are to have demonstrated the ability to direct, supervise, and make important decisions regarding the design and engineering of problems based on engineering fundamentals and modern technological tools. Graduates of the program are to have demonstrated the maturity and knowledge needed for participating in the leadership of the advancement of the NAME field.
The student learning outcomes for naval architecture and marine engineering describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program.
