CIVIL ENGINEERING ACCREDITATION
The Bachelor of Science program in Civil Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, https://www.abet.org.
Mission
The mission of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department is to produce Civil Engineers who will become innovative practitioners, leaders, researchers, and entrepreneurs. The department attracts and retains high-quality faculty and maintains state-of-the-art infrastructure to achieve excellence in teaching, research, and service. The department, through its rigorous curriculum, hands-on laboratory experiences, and design-oriented course projects, trains students in a broad range of civil engineering topics and engages them in research and service activities, so that they can make significant contributions to society and in improving the quality of life.
Program Educational Objectives
The program educational objectives of the civil engineering program are to produce graduates whose expected accomplishments within a few years of graduation are:
- To produce graduates who have careers in Civil Engineering or related fields that lead to increasing levels of responsibility and leadership
- To produce graduates who obtain professional licensure/certifications
- To produce graduates who complete graduate studies in Civil Engineering or related fields
- To produce graduates who engage in professional development and service.
Student Outcomes
The student outcomes that prepare graduates to attain the program educational objectives are:
- an ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics.
- 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.
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- 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.
