PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Graduates will exhibit technical competence in the practice of civil engineering to develop solutions to increasingly challenging problems in their chosen area of the profession. 

Graduates will perform competently within a team environment with highly developed communication skills and proficiency in leadership and management that contribute to their success professionally. 

Graduates will contribute positively to the civil engineering profession and their communities by demonstrating professional responsibility through consideration of societal, ethical, environmental, economic, regulatory, and global issues as they pertain to engineering projects. 

Graduates will participate actively in their professional development through professional society participation, pursuing professional licensure, and continuing education, as needed, to successfully adapt to changes in the profession throughout their careers.

STUDENT OUTCOMES

The following are the Civil Engineering program’s student outcomes:

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
