It will provide students with a breadth and depth of technical knowledge in the field, preparing them to work immediately in most areas of the profession, including geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, hydraulics, structural engineering, construction management, and transportation/ traffic engineering. Students take courses in chemistry, physics, and math, in addition to a core set of engineering courses common to most engineering disciplines. Students are also introduced to computer software which expedites the design process, and they are taught how to balance engineering designs with economic constraints. Program Educational Objectives The educational objectives of the civil engineering program are to prepare our graduates to: 1. Establish a successful career in civil engineering. 2. Possess a strong fundamental, scientific and technical knowledge- base, and critical thinking skills, to serve as the foundation for lifelong learning related to the civil engineering profession, and in preparation for graduate studies. 3. Have a broad and well-integrated background in the concepts, theories, and methodologies needed to plan, design, analyze, develop, organize, and manage civil engineering projects. 4. Have expertise in the major areas of civil engineering: structural analysis, design and reliability, transportation systems engineering, and water resources and
