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 expertise in math, science and engineering to identity, formulate and solve problems involving design, experimentation, and/or analysis for a wide variety of Civil Engineering applications.
   
2. Demonstrate proficiency in all forms of communication, perform well in a multi-disciplinary team environment and demonstrate the highest standards of personal and professional integrity and ethical responsibility.
   
3. Demonstrate an understanding of contemporary issues relating to the ethical, economic and social contexts of our local, national and global society in association with their professional work responsibilities.
   
4. Continue their educations, both formally and informally, through use of their developed research and study skills and use of formal continuing education opportunities locally and elsewhere.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES:

Students who qualify for graduation from the Civil Engineering Program will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the following:

1. Engineering Design - Ability to apply an engineering approach to derive, formulate and address physical, functional, and financial requirements, and create Civil Engineering systems and subsystems that satisfy clients' needs.
   
2. Analysis – Ability to identify, formulate and execute problem solving approaches using scientific and engineering principles, select and use proper analytical tools including modern computer solutions, and interpret data to solve Civil engineering problems.
   
3. Experimentation and Statistical Analysis – Ability to design experiments to investigate scientific or engineering questions through selection and use of methods and equipment for data collection, proper statistical analysis of data, and interpret results to obtain useful answers.
   
4. Professional Context – Understanding of the role of engineers in society through consideration of global, cultural, social, economic, ethical, and public policy issues while making responsible engineering decisions.
   
5. Communication – Ability to gather information from varied sources, resolve inconsistencies, integrate that information into the task objective, and convey ideas, concepts, and relationships in oral and written forms to achieve desired results.
   
6. Teamwork –Ability to organize and/or participate in an appropriate multidisciplinary project team, coordinate effective team processes, and produce required deliverables.
   
7. Life-Long Learning – Understanding the need for, and the value of, sustaining career growth, professionalism, and productivity after graduation.
