ACCREDITATION INFORMATION
The Civil Engineering degree is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
To ensure the success of our graduates, we prepare them to achieve the following Program Educational Objectives within two to five years after graduation:
- Recognition as successful Air Force officers through demonstration of their ability to:
- Rapidly acquire required knowledge
- Lead others effectively
- Apply ethical and moral standards
- Improve unit performance by application of organizational skills
- Make sound decisions based on critical thinking
- Communicate effectively
- Selection for career training on, or ahead of, schedule, and for a progression of assignments of increasing responsibility
- Demonstrated ability to solve Air Force technical problems
- Success in continuing education
- Success in contingency operations
These objectives are assessed through Student Outcomes—the skills, knowledge and behaviors students should acquire as they progress through the program. Upon, graduation, our graduates must attain an ability to:
- Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- 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
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- 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
- Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
