The Bell Program is the same curriculum as the Iron Range Engineering Program, but runs with a different delivery modality. This extension has been recognized and accredited by the ABET organization.
The following objectives, outcomes, and awards represent both the standard Iron Range Engineering Program and the Iron Range Engineering Bell Program.
Program Objectives
The program educational objectives for Iron Range Engineering are listed below. They are consistent with the Iron Range Engineering Program Mission to serve Northern Minnesota. Graduates will achieve at least two of the following objectives, but will be capable of achieving all within one to four years of graduation:
- Designing, implementing and integrating thermal, electrical, mechanical, and computer-controlled systems, components, and processes that will serve the region, the nation and the world.
- Continuing their education through technical or professional graduate programs, professional licensure, or certifications, and the wide variety of other types of life-long learning.
- Creating, developing, leading, and managing in a wide range of enterprises that result in sustainable and enhanced economic regional development through their disciplinary expertise.
- Demonstrating actions such as community service, professional ethics, professional responsibility and mentoring future engineers.
