Key Summary
Mission
The Civil Engineering Program seeks to graduate civil engineers who use their knowledge and ability to design and construct sustainable civil and environmental engineering systems that both serve the needs of society and adhere to professional ethical standards. The program is to prepare students to engage in lifelong learning and to be leaders who understand the practical aspects of engineering, along with successful management and business practices, and public policy. Students and graduates are prepared to successfully compete for regional and international grants and positions.
Accreditation
The Faculty of Engineering (FE) was officially accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, the global accreditor of college and university programs in applied sciences, computing, engineering, and engineering technology, across the three campuses in 2016 and retroactive to Fall 2013. The programs that were accredited are the following: Civil Engineering, Computer and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. In 2022, ABET reaffirmed the FE’s accreditation for a full cycle, a follow-up to the initial certification in 2016.
Program Educational Objectives
- Apply technical and non-technical skills to design, construct, and manage sustainable projects.
- Exhibit ethical and professional commitments to the community and the environment.
- Pursue lifelong learning, such as graduate work and continuing education.
- Become leaders who demonstrate strong communication, multidisciplinary teamwork, and management skills in their chosen profession.
