Civil Engineering Program
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rutgers University is dedicated to providing the highest quality broad-based technical, scientific, and liberal arts education. CEE provides and maintains an outstanding educational program in an environment that develops diverse skills designed for professional success.
-
The current educational objectives of the Civil Engineering program are:
- Successful careers in the civil engineering profession that incorporate life-long learning leading to professional licensure and/or advanced degrees.
- Effective oral, visual, and written communication and strong professional and ethical responsibility in the practice of civil engineering.
- Demonstrated records of individual and team accomplishments in developing creative and sound engineering solutions to practical problems that meet professional, societal, sustainability, and global challenges.
-
Students from the Civil Engineering program will attain (by the time of 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.
