Program Educational Objectives
The objectives of our Civil Engineering program are to produce young engineers who are ready to enter the workforce of the industry with sufficient engineering skill, knowledge, and familiarity with advanced state-of-the-art technology. The followings are the Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) of B. Eng. Civil Engineering:
PEO-1: Graduates successfully engage in the practice of Civil Engineering within industry, government, and private practice, working toward sustainable solutions in a wide array of technical specialties including construction, environment, geotechnical, surveying, structures, transportation, and water resources.
PEO-2: Graduates employ their leadership skills toward professional growth and development such as pursuing advance study in engineering, professional registration, and continuing education. Some graduates transition into other professions, such as entrepreneur, education, business, and law through further education.
PEO-3: Graduates provide service to society and engineering profession through membership and participation in professional societies, government, educational institutions and civic organizations.
Student Outcomes
Our Civil Engineering program was so designed to produce graduates, upon the completion of their study, with the skill sets towards a successful profession in Civil Engineering. These outcomes provide a solid foundation and prepare young engineers to begin a productive career in Civil Engineering practice. The student outcomes of our Civil Engineering program are listed below:
- 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.

Students’ exit survey of graduating students is used as an indirect assessment tool for the 7 student outcomes. The students’ exit survey is usually conducted prior to student graduation. The survey questions primarily focus at the attainment of the 7 student outcomes that students should gain from our program. The results of the exit survey in academic years 2023 are provided in Table 4-3 to 4-5
The employors’ survey is generally conducted annually. The surveying questions for the employors typically inquire about the ability of our graduates to works successfully for the industry. The results of the employor survey for academic years 2023 are provided in Table 4-6.
