Civil Engineering Program Educational Objectives
The Civil Engineering curriculum provides a broad
education in the fundamentals of Civil Engineering.
Students may pursue a general program or may choose a
specialization in areas such as geotechnical engineering,
structural engineering, transportation, water resources and
environmental engineering.
The educational objectives of this program are to provide
each graduate with:
-
Engineering Competence - Graduates are competent and
engaged professionals in their field
-
Continuous Learning - Graduates continue developing
professionally
-
Professional Skills - Graduates demonstrate teamwork
and leadership skills and are contributors in their
profession
-
Societal Awareness - Graduates recognize the societal,
ethical, and global impacts of their work
