Mission Statement

Mission Statement of the University of Missouri-St. Louis/Washington University Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program

The mission of the University of Missouri-St. Louis/Washington University Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program is to provide a high quality engineering education leading to a well-trained, sophisticated work force primarily for the St. Louis region. The program strives to excite and nurture the intellectual, technical, professional and personal development of the students through a partnership which provides a mechanism for Washington University to share its campus, resources and personnel with the University of Missouri-St. Louis students, many of whom are place-bound individuals. The Joint Program reflects the commitment of both institutions to work together to provide for the engineering needs of the St. Louis community.

Educational Objectives

The aspirations of the University of Missouri-St. Louis/Washington University Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program are to make positive, substantive and lasting contributions to the lives of our students. In this manner, the students should be able to apply their comprehensive education within the engineering profession or an alternatively related field.

The objectives of the program are structured to impart an education that constitutes the essential ingredients for Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering practice. The alumni of these programs are expected to develop professional skills that facilitate their continued career growth well beyond their graduation. The objectives also build on the fact that the typical nontraditional and traditional students in these programs often have work experience in or related to engineering practice.

The principal objectives of the University of Missouri-St. Louis/Washington University Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program

To impart an education in the Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering disciplines that inspires the graduates to constantly share their knowledge with others, to continually improve their knowledge and understanding, and to persistently adapt to change in technology and world needs.

Specifically, the goals of the programs are:

1. Effectively apply fundamental knowledge in mathematics and science in the solution of technical problems;
2. Have the ability to investigate, carry out and perform all elements of the design process in the respective engineering practice;
3. Engage in life-long learning to remain at the forefront of technology;
4. Understand the societal, health, environmental and human impact on their actions and to act in an ethical and legally responsible manner; and
5. Have an appreciation for and assimilate the qualities of professional leaders and team players such as communication, networking, and integrity.
