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:
- Use their technical knowledge and communication skills to evaluate and solve problems in a wide variety of civil engineering applications.
- Demonstrate the highest standards of professional integrity and ethical responsibility for public health and safety.
- Work with the complex interactions of a variety of contemporary socio-economic issues.
- 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:
- 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.
- an ability to design and conduct civil engineering experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret the resulting data.
- 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.
- an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.
- an ability to apply knowledge of four technical areas appropriate to civil engineering to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
- an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility and the ability to explain the importance of professional licensure.
- an ability to communicate effectively.
- the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
- a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
- a knowledge of contemporary issues.
- an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
- an ability to explain basic concepts in management, business, public policy, and leadership.
