Objectives

• Objective 1 Engineering Design
  Graduates solve engineering problems and develop executable designs. They combine their understanding of technical, ethical, economic, and environmental issues to efficiently solve engineering problems and develop designs that are executable and realistically constructible.

• 
  Objective 2 Project Management
  Graduates include in their problem solving process the consideration of business and management principles, primarily budget, schedule, and cost. They work effectively both as an individual and on teams.

  
  Objective 3 Communications
  Graduates have the ability to communicate, in a professional manner, their designs and processes to a diverse audience. They demonstrate effective utilization of oral, written, graphical, and visual communication skills in the context of civil engineering.

  
  Objective 4 Employment and Regional Relevancy
  Our graduates meet the needs of regional organizations that traditionally employ civil engineers and contribute to its economic development.

  
  Objective 5 Professional Licensure
  Our graduates pursue and achieve professional licensure

  
  Objective 6 Professionalism
  Graduates exhibit a strong work ethic and a commitment and passion for the profession. They adapt to an ever-changing world by engaging in life-long learning beyond the workplace through memberships to professional societies and attendance of meetings and conferences. They are ethical in their approach to their work.

  
  Objective 7 Technical Tools
  Graduates make effective use of state of the art engineering tools of their profession to efficiently execute their engineering designs and increase their productivity.
