Civil Engineering Program Educational Objectives (PEO)
- Graduates will demonstrate the ability to formulate and implement
designs for the built environment with consideration of functionality,
maintenance, safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental
sustainability.
- Graduates will demonstrate the ability to apply the principles and
techniques of modern civil engineering analysis and design supported
by a foundation in: mathematical, physical, and social sciences;
economic, operational, and engineering analyses.
- Graduates will possess a breadth of knowledge that allows them to
practice civil engineering with an appropriate awareness of
professional issues.
- Graduates will demonstrate knowledge of professionalism and ethics, the ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams, and the ability to communicate effectively.
