  • Mission Statement

    The PDD Program at 91¶ÌÊÓƵ will be a growing, nationally recognized, program offering ABET Accredited BS degrees that afford faculty and students opportunities for intellectual and personal growth. We will prepare students to demonstrate professional competence within the discipline and serve the needs of the design in mechanical/manufacturing, service, and public sectors of Utah and throughout the nation.


    Our Industrial Advisory Board is the primary/key constituency to review of Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes in an annual meeting. Any changes will be discussed in the meeting, and any newly approved changes will be documented in the meeting minutes which will be reflected on the program website. Then an annual survey is sent to all PDD-majored students to approve the new changes on Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes.
