Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering

The objectives of the Civil Engineering undergraduate degree program are to prepare graduates who can perform at the entry level in civil engineering practice so that, some years after graduation, they can become licensed professionals having responsibility for the planning, design, implementation, operation and continuous improvement of civil engineering structures and infrastructure. They will be provided with skills and tools for life-long learning, continuing professional development, and to pursue advanced degrees.

Program Objectives

The educational objectives of the Civil Engineering undergraduate degree program are:

  • Graduates will meet the expectations of employers of civil engineers
  • Qualified graduates will be capable of pursuing advanced study
  • Graduates will pursue leadership positions in their profession and/or communities
