BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The general goals of the Bachelor of Science program in Civil Engineering are that undergraduates should have sufficient exposure to all major sub-disciplines in order to (1) allow them to choose a career path intelligently, (2) elect a program of depth in at least two sub-disciplines and (3) continue in a Master of Science program in any civil engineering sub-discipline.
Specific program objectives have been established to reinforce these general goals. Graduates of the undergraduate civil engineering program should:
- Have a solid foundation of knowledge in the major sub-disciplines of civil engineering: structural and geotechnical engineering, environmental and water resources engineering, transportation engineering and construction management
- Have the opportunity to develop depth of knowledge in at least two of these sub-disciplines within the scope of their undergraduate education
- Be capable of professional practice at the entry level in any civil engineering sub-discipline or to pursue graduate work in any of the sub-disciplines
- Develop design knowledge and skills in at least three sub-disciplines of civil engineering
- Develop good oral and written communications skills
- Develop a basic understanding of the societal context in which civil engineering occurs and a thorough appreciation for their responsibilities as professionals to society.
