Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes
BSCE Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
The educational objectives of the Department of Civil Engineering’s undergraduate
program are that, within a few years of program completion, graduates will have used
the knowledge and skills gained through academic preparation and post-graduation experience
so they have:
PEO 1
Advanced in the civil engineering profession, obtained professional licensure, and
applied engineering knowledge and problem-solving skills to multi-disciplinary projects.
PEO 2
Incorporated economic, environmental, social, regulatory, constructability, and sustainability
considerations into the practice of civil engineering.
PEO 3
Exhibited effective communication skills, teamwork, leadership, initiative, project
management, and professional and ethical behavior.
PEO 4
Continued their technical and professional development, which may include graduate
level education, continuing education, and participation in professional organizations.
BSCE Student Outcomes
Graduates of the Civil Engineering Program at the °µÍø½ûÇø will have:
- 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.
