Civil Engineering Student Outcomes

Our civil engineering graduates will demonstrate the attainment of the following outcomes:

  1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics through differential equations and science including calculus-based physics, chemistry, and at least one additional area of science appropriate to civil engineering.
  2. an ability to apply knowledge of engineering including four technical areas appropriate to civil engineering.
  3. an ability to design, conduct civil engineering experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret the resulting data.
  4. an ability to design a system, component, or process in more than one civil engineering context to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability.
  5. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
  6. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
  7. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
  8. an ability to communicate effectively.
  9. a broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
  10. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
  11. a knowledge of contemporary issues.
  12. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
