Program Educational Objectives

The undergraduate programs in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering develop the fundamental mathematical and scientific skills of our students using real-world problems and culminate in multidisciplinary team practice of engineering design. Graduates are fully prepared to enter professional practice or pursue advanced degrees.

The Civil Engineering undergraduate program educational objectives are to prepare our alumni/ae with the knowledge and skills needed to: adopt and continuously practice life-long learning through post-graduate and professional education; actively contribute to the advancement of engineering practice in the public or private sectors in the technical areas of environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources engineering; and recognize the importance of, and follow a path that can lead to licensure as professional engineers who design and construct solutions to civil engineering problems in the natural and built environments.

The Environmental Engineering undergraduate program educational objectives are to impart our alumni/ae with the knowledge and skills needed to: actively contribute to the advancement of engineering practice in the public and/or private sectors in the technical area of environmental engineering; recognize the importance of, and follow the path that leads towards, becoming licensed professional engineers, assessing the impact of human activities on the environment, designing and constructing solutions to minimize and mitigate such impacts, and tending to the natural environment as our life support system; and adopt and continuously practice lifelong learning through post-graduate and professional education.
