CEE Mission, Program Objectives and Program Outcomes

The mission of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is:

·        to educate a diverse student body to be employed in the engineering profession

·        to encourage research and scholarship among our faculty and students

·        to promote service to the engineering profession and society 

Our program objectives are reflected in the achievements of our recent alumni.  

1 – Engineering Practice: Recent alumni will successfully engage in the practice of civil engineering within industry, government, and private practice, working in a wide array of technical specialties including construction, environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources.  

2 – Professional Growth: Recent alumni will advance their skills through professional growth and development activities such as graduate study in engineering, professional registration, and continuing education; some graduates will transition into other professional fields such as business and law through further education.  

3 – Service: Recent alumni will perform service to society and the engineering profession through membership and participation in professional societies, government, civic organizations, and humanitarian endeavors.  

Our program outcomes are what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of their graduation:
 
(a) ability to apply knowledge of math, science, and engineering
(b) ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as interpret data
(c) ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
(d) an ability to function multi-disciplinary teams
(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
(f) an understanding of ethical and professional responsibility
(g) an ability to communicate effectively
(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
(i) a recognition of need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues
(k) ability to use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
(l) an understanding of management and leadership principles and techniques
(m) take the FE examination as the first step toward professional licensure
(n) an ability to find professional level employment or pursue an advanced degree
