Civil Engineering

The Civil Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Civil and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Criterion 2: Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):

The Civil Engineering undergraduate program educational objectives are to prepare our alumni/ae with the knowledge and skills needed to:

  • actively contribute to the practice and profession of civil engineering, including management, administration, and leadership in the public, private, or academic sectors;
  • attain licensure as professional engineers and/or earn graduate degrees in engineering and other disciplines;
  • keep up to date with the evolving demands of the engineering profession, including sustainability, equity, justice and the needs of diverse communities.

Criterion 3: Student Outcomes:

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. 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.
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Program Criteria:

The curriculum must include:

  1. Application of:
    1. mathematics through differential equations, probability and statistics, calculus-based physics, chemistry, and either computer science, data science, or an additional area of basic science
    2. engineering mechanics, materials science, and numerical methods relevant to civil engineering
    3. principles of sustainability, risk, resilience, diversity, equity, and inclusion to civil engineering problems
    4. the engineering design process in at least two civil engineering contexts
    5. an engineering code of ethics to ethical dilemmas
  2. Solution of complex engineering problems in at least four specialty areas appropriate to civil engineering
  3. Conduct of experiments in at least two civil engineering contexts and reporting of results
  4. Explanation of:
    1. concepts and principles in project management and engineering economics
    2. professional attitudes and responsibilities of a civil engineer, including licensure and safety
