Civil Engineering Undergraduate Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes
Civil Engineering is a broad field encompassing many specialties. Michigan Tech civil engineering baccalaureate graduates are educated to begin professional careers that apply a broad base of engineering, science, and communication skills to a variety of civil engineering endeavors and to develop advanced competence in a few specialties. As such, we expect that during the first several years following graduation, our graduates will attain the following program objectives:
Program Educational Objectives
- Function as productive members of the profession and society with an understanding
of the social, ethical, environmental, economic, and global ramifications of their
work as demonstrated by some of the following:
- Participate in professional organizations;
- Communicate and work with diverse groups of people;
- Perform community service;
- Commit to life-long learning;
- Successfully apply their knowledge and skills to civil engineering practice, to other
professions and disciplines, or to advanced education as demonstrated by some of the
following:
- Obtain entry-level professional employment or attend full-time graduate school
- Plan, conceive, design, manage, construct, or operate civil engineering projects;
- Advance in capabilities and responsibilities;
- Progress toward professional licensure;
- Earn graduate degrees and/or other professional certificates;
- Understand the limitations of their knowledge, and the consequences of their engineering decisions
In order to reach the above program educational objectives, our students will obtain the following student outcomes by the time they graduate with their baccalaureate degree.
Student Outcomes
-
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
