If you are a civil engineering major, you have two options within the accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering program: civil engineering and civil engineering with sustainable engineering concentration. Regardless of choice, the BSE in civil engineering is accredited by ABET. The bachelor's degree in civil engineering with a concentration in sustainable engineering incorporates systems modeling and life cycle approaches to assessing the resiliency and material selection across all areas of urban infrastructure or the built environment currently addressed within the civil engineering degree. The program exposes you to material from several disciplines that comply with the principles of economic, social and ecological sustainability and apply these principles to traditional civil engineering areas. The following are the civil engineering undergraduate program educational objectives within three years of graduation: Graduates will be employed as engineers or will be enrolled in (or have graduated from) engineering or professional graduate school. Graduates will provide engineering and program management services for civil infrastructure development that protect and enhance the environment while stewarding natural resources. Graduates will demonstrate professionalism and will hold positions of increasing responsibility within their organizations. Graduates are expected to achieve the following outcomes at graduation: 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. Printable program brochureCivil engineering, BSE (PDF)
