Our engineering programs are housed in the state-of-the-art Witchger Engineering Building. Here students have access to:

• Makerspaces
  Equipped with a large range of advanced 3D printers and other rapid prototyping equipment for students.
• Dedicated teaching labs
  CE students will explore engineering fundamentals in action throughout the curriculum in our teaching labs.
  
• Collaboration spaces
  Conference rooms, project spaces, and our Collaboratorium are among the many spaces available to students to work together with peers and external partners.
• Study rooms
  Group study rooms, study areas, lounge areas, and more for student to use - to study or to take a break.
• Project labs
  Large workspaces with moveable tables offer students room to design and prototype various projects.
• Machine shops
  Manufacturing space with state-of-the-art machining equipment that increases the capability for students to develop sophisticated prototypes in materials like woods, plastics, and metals.

Most of our spaces are equipped with smart AV technology to facilitate multimodal learning.

Program Educational Objectives

Graduates of the Civil Engineering Program will, within a few years of graduation:

• Become practicing engineers in civil engineering and/or related positions in industry, government, or academia.
• Continue to strengthen their inter-disciplinary foundation of the liberal arts, mathematics, sciences, and engineering to successfully pursue advanced degrees or be engaged in advanced study of civil engineering or related fields.
• Utilize ethical tools and skills for successful adaptation to the ever-evolving field of civil engineering and assume leadership roles in their professions.

Student Outcomes

Students from the Civil Engineering program will attain, by the time of graduation:

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
