College of Engineering and Architecture

The Civil Engineering program is a four-year program that provides students with the knowledge and expertise necessary in planning, design, construction, supervision, and maintenance of facilities essential to modern life. These facilities vary widely in nature, size, and scope and include offshore structures, bridges, buildings, tunnels, highways, transit systems, dams, airports, ports and harbors, towers, and water distribution systems.

The program also provides students with the fundamental skills in land surveying, highway and transportation engineering design, structural design, and construction materials selection and testing. It also includes topics in flood controls, landslide, air and water pollution, and the design of facilities to withstand earthquakes and natural hazards.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

The Civil Engineering program has adopted the following educational objectives.

Three to five years after graduation, the Civil Engineering alumni shall:

• have advanced their practice or achievement in the field of Civil Engineering and/or other endeavors or advocacies supported by their acquired civil engineering education;
• strive to be globally competitive through
  - living by the TIP mission values, pursuing continuing education, and practicing continuous quality improvement in their personal lives
  - continuously scanning, adopting, and building on the best practices in their field.

STUDENT OUTCOMES 

Effective S.Y. 2018-2019, the following Student Outcomes of the Civil Engineering Program will apply: 

1. Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying knowledge and principles of engineering, science, and mathematics 
2. Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, welfare, global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors, in accordance with standards appropriate to the discipline. 
3. Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with various communities, including engineering experts and society at large, using appropriate levels of discourse. 
4. 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. 
5. Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives by applying knowledge of engineering and management principles. 
6. Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. 
7. Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

For students entering as freshmen for S.Y. 2021-2022, the following SOs apply: 

By the time of graduation, Civil Engineering students will have the ability to: 

1. identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying knowledge and principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. 
2. apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, welfare, global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. 
3. communicate effectively and inclusively on complex engineering activities with a range of audiences, such as being able to comprehend, write, and present in a variety of ways effectively considering cultural, language, and learning differences. 
4. apply principles of ethics and commit to professional ethics, technology ethics, data ethics, global responsibilities, and norms of engineering practice; and adhere to relevant national and international laws. Comprehend the need for diversity and inclusion. Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the sustainability impact of engineering solutions in human, cultural, global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. 
5. function effectively as an individual member in diverse and inclusive teams and/or leader who provides leadership, creates a collaborative and inclusive environment, establishes goals, plans tasks, and meets objectives in multi-disciplinary and long-distance settings by applying knowledge of engineering and management principles, 
6. develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. 
7. acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies to engage in independent and life-long learning, creativity and adaptability to new and emerging technologies, and critical thinking in the broadest context of technological change.
