1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. (Analysis)
2. 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. (Synthesis)
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. (Application)
4. 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. (Application)
5. 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. (Application)
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions (Analysis)
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies. (Application) Educational objectives based on Bloom s taxonomy are given in brackets with each outcome.
Furthermore, civil engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain the following program criteria:
Outcome A: The graduates can apply knowledge in mathematics through differential equations; calculus-based physics; and general chemistry, and at least one additional area of science. The graduates are also able to apply probability and statistics to address uncertainty. (Application)
Outcome B: The graduates can analyze and solve problems in a minimum of four (4) recognized major CE areas. (Analysis)
Outcome C: The graduates have the ability to conduct laboratory experiments and to critically analyze and interpret data in at least two technical areas of CE. (Analysis)
Outcome D: The graduates have the ability to perform CE design in at least two civil engineering contexts by means of design experiences integrated throughout the professional component of the curriculum. The graduates have the ability to include principles of sustainability in design. (Synthesis)
Outcome E: The graduates have an understanding of professional practice issues such as: procurement of work; bidding versus quality-based selection processes; how the design professionals and the construction professions interact to construct a project; the importance of professional licensure and continuing education; and/or other professional practice issues. (Analysis)
Outcome F: The graduates have an understanding of the basic concepts in project management, business, public policy, and leadership through discussion in different courses. (Comprehension)
