The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program is accredited by ABET. Encompasses the design and construction of structures such as buildings, bridges, highways, tunnels, and dams.
Program Description
The Student Outcomes (SOs) for the program are similar to ABET (1) through (7) criteria, specifically:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- 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.
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- 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.
- 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.
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
The admission formula is based on the following:
- – SAT results (if applicable)
- – High school records during grades 10 and 11.
Admission is competitive and equally based on the above requirements as follows:
- – 50% is based on the SAT: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math sections
- – 50% is based on the student high school averages in grades 10 and 11
