The
Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has established
voluntary educational standards for postsecondary programs in applied science,
computing, engineering, and technology.
The
Civil Engineering program at the UOP has adopted these standards for its
undergraduate Civil Engineering program. The outcomes adopted by the program are
as follows.
The
Civil Engineering program must demonstrate that their students attain:
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.
