Program Educational Objectives
The Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering programs at Notre Dame currently share the following educational objectives that are consistent with the mission of the University and College of Engineering.
- Successfully engage in the practice of civil or environmental engineering (private, public, or academic sectors) to solve important engineering and environmental problems, while upholding the code of ethics for engineers.
- Pursue ongoing professional development opportunities including professional licensure (PE), advanced studies, research, participation in conferences or workshops, and continuing education.
- Advance the profession by pursuing leadership positions, membership in professional societies, and teaching opportunities.
- Participate in and contribute to service to society through public, private, or academic organizations addressing important societal issues and needs.
Student Outcomes
To achieve these Program Educational Objectives, the curriculum is designed to provide the following Student Outcomes, which describe what students are expected to know or be able to do by the time of graduation.
- Graduates will possess an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- Graduates will possess 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.
- Graduates will possess an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- Graduates will possess an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
- Graduates will possess 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.
- Graduates will possess an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analysis and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions.
- Graduates will possess an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
