Accreditation

The Civil Engineering BS program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and Program Criteria for the Civil and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Program Educational Objectives

The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering has adopted a straightforward set of educational objectives for the Civil Engineering BS graduates. The definition of "objective" in this context means our expectations for our graduates' accomplishments several years after completing the Civil Engineering BS program.

The Program Educational Objectives define future roles for which we are preparing our graduates.

The Program Educational Objectives for the Civil Engineering BS program are as follows:

• Graduates will attain leadership positions in their professional careers.
• Graduates will continue to develop professionally by pursuing professional registration.
• Graduates will contribute to global and local community development through civil engineering practice.

Student Outcomes

The Student Outcomes define the knowledge and skills that will be mastered by our graduates.
