Civil Engineering
Mission
The Civil Engineering Program Faculty strives to create a high quality learning experience for our students. The principal goals include:
- Provide a broad engineering education to our graduates that will prepare them for both current and future professional challenges.
- Promote a commitment to continued scholarship and service among our graduates.
- Foster a spirit of innovation so that our graduates are positioned to take advantage of new technology in our profession.
- Promote an environment that is inclusive and diverse.
- To attain prominence in key areas of Civil Engineering graduate education and research.
Educational Objectives
Within the first several years following graduation, graduates should:
- Be successfully employed or employable in civil engineering practice in areas such as structural, geotechnical, transportation, construction, water resources, or related fields and/or be continuing their studies at the graduate level,
- Show a commitment to ethical practice, protection of public health and safety, and professional development through activities such as continuing education, self-directed life-long learning, professional licensure, and service to the profession and society.
Educational Outcomes
Our graduates will:
- Solve problems that involve differential and integral calculus, differential equations, analytical and numerical solutions, and statistics.
- Solve problems that address engineering economics issues such as life-cycle analysis and the selection of alternatives.
- Solve problems involving topics from physics such as vector mechanics, dynamics, force and energy balance.
- Be exposed to the role of an engineer involving ethics, professionalism, engineering practice and registration.
- Demonstrate the ability to conduct experiments, collect information, and analyze and interpret data.
- Demonstrate an ability to communicate their ideas effectively through written and oral reports.
- Demonstrate that they have worked in teams to solve engineering problems.
- Be aware of the need to continuously update their knowledge through registration, continuing education, and participating in professional societies.
- Be able to complete a comprehensive enviromental engineering design project incorporating the use of design and regulatory standards, and realistic constraints that could include contemporary issues such as economics, globalization, societal impact and safety.
- Be exposed to real-world problems and solutions.
