Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCVE)

Civil engineering involves the planning, design, and construction of facilities essential to modern life. It requires education in basic engineering principles along with the development of skills in the areas of planning and management of construction projects and the associated systems and resources. Civil engineering graduates are required to master technical content and to demonstrate particular competence in the areas of communication, fiscal management and project control. The broad-based background is tailored to develop professionals who are able to move between technical and managerial aspects of civil engineering projects.

  • Program educational objectives are benchmarks for career and professional accomplishments that the degree program prepares graduates to achieve during the first few years following graduation. Graduates of the Civil Engineering program will be able to:

    1. Meet the requirements to pursue and attain registration as a professional engineer in the State of Georgia and other states in the nation.
    2. Demonstrate success and/or leadership in their engineering professions.
    3. Successfully engage in graduate studies and professional development in Civil engineering and other related professional fields.

  • Student outcomes describe the knowledge and skills acquired by students who complete the program. Students completing the program will have:

    1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
    2. 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
    3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
    4. 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
    5. 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
    6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
    7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
