Programme Type: Undergraduate
Course Overview
Civil engineering graduates work in the industry as civil engineers, typically specializing as:
- Construction,
- Geotechnical,
- Structural, or
- Transportation
They also hold other job titles, including
- Project engineers,
- Project managers,
- Job superintendents,
- Contractors,
- Estimators,
- Schedulers,
- Examiners, or
- Surveyors
Objectives
The educational objectives of the B.S.C.E. program define the career and professional accomplishments that the graduates are being prepared to achieve three to four years after graduation. The B.S.C.E. program will produce graduates who:
- Enter into and advance in the profession of civil engineering, particularly in the areas of structural, geotechnical, or environmental engineering.
- Continue their formal education and obtain advanced degrees in civil engineering or other related fields.
- Become responsible professionals and global citizens who are aware of ethical issues and societal needs and problems.
These objectives are consistent with the mission of Fairleigh Dickinson University to educate and prepare students as world citizens through global education. They also fulfill the needs of the program constituencies, which include students, alumni, employers, faculty, and Industrial Advisory Board.
The B.S.C.E. program has adopted the Student Outcomes of the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET as its own learning outcomes, which define the attributes, skills, and knowledge that the graduates are expected to possess upon or before graduation. Each civil engineering graduate will demonstrate the following attributes and achievements as required by the EAC of ABET upon or before 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.
