Accreditation & Assessment (EAET)

Program Educational Objectives for all EAET Engineering Technology Programs

The program education objectives for the Civil Engineering Technology Program have been identified as:

1. Be employed in an engineering or engineering related industry.

2. Perform engineering duties in industry with progressive responsibilities or proceed to graduate school.

3. Engage in lifelong learning and professional development by acceptance and attendance in classes or being active members in one or more professional organizations related to their field.

4. Function as a responsible member of society demonstrating professionalism in their work assignments and exhibit the following characteristics:

a. Ethics, including commitment to honesty and integrity

b. Quality performance and timeliness

c. A willingness to learn new material and train and mentor fellow employees

5. Apply their technical leadership and communication skills to practice professionally in a collaborative, team-oriented manner that embraces the multidisciplinary and multicultural environment of today’s business world.

Program Student Outcomes

The program must have documented student outcomes that support the program educational objectives. Attainment of these outcomes prepares graduates to enter the professional practice of engineering. Student outcomes are outcomes (1) through (5)

1. an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
2. an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
3. an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
4. an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
5. an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
