Learning Outcomes

Program Educational Objectives (PEO)

The educational objectives of the Civil Engineering undergraduate degree program are that within a few years, graduates will:

Serve in leadership positions and multidisciplinary teams that create a climate of innovation to address evolving engineering challenges.
Continue life-long learning for professional growth leading to certifications, professional licenses, and advanced academic degrees.
Develop engineering solutions to improve quality of life and enhance economic development of communities.

Student Outcomes (SO)

The CEEC Faculty have adopted the Student Outcomes specified in the EAC criteria:

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.
An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

Career Possibilities

A Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) is intended to provide graduates with the skills and knowledge needed to design, build, and operate engineered systems such as roads, foundations, buildings, bridges, dams, airports, and water supply and wastewater treatment systems. Civil engineers can be employed by consulting firms, government agencies and utilities. The degree prepares students for licensure as civil engineers; licenses are required for professional practice in all US states and territories.
