Civil Engineering
Program Educational Objectives and Outcomes

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:

Upon successful completion of the Civil Engineering undergraduate course of study, graduates can be expected to:

1. Use their technical knowledge and communication skills to evaluate and solve problems in a wide variety of civil engineering applications.
   
2. Demonstrate the highest standards of professional integrity and ethical responsibility for public health and safety.
   
3. Work with the complex interactions of a variety of contemporary socio-economic issues.
   
4. Continue their education through use of their developed research and study skills or through formal continuing education opportunities.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES:

Students who qualify for graduation from the Civil Engineering program will demonstrate the following:

1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics through differential equations, calculus-based physics, chemistry and knowledge of at least one additional area of science, consistent with the program educational objectives, and engineering.
   
2. an ability to design and conduct civil engineering experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret the resulting data.
   
3. an ability to design a system, component, or process in more than one civil engineering context to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
   
4. an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.
   
5. an ability to apply knowledge of four technical areas appropriate to civil engineering to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
   
6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility and the ability to explain the importance of professional licensure.
   
7. an ability to communicate effectively.
   
8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
   
9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
