Engineering Civil Engineering - Roger Williams University

Engineering Civil Engineering from Roger Williams University is a Campus Bachelor Civil Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The purpose of the engineering major is to develop in students the necessary knowledge and analytical skills for professional engineering practice or for successful graduate studies. Because of its general nature, it is characterized by breadth but permits study in depth, if the student desires, to include attaining a specialization in civil , computer, electrical, or mechanical engineering . The engineering major provides for flexibility to address the unknown challenges of the 21st century. Engineers apply the principles of mathematics and the laws of natural science to analyze, design, develop and devise improvements that benefit humanity. The engineering program consists of a course of study in mathematics, science, and engineering fundamentals during the first two and one-half years of study. Students have the flexibility to tailor the program to their own specific needs by selection, with the assistance of their advisor, of appropriate elective courses constituting a specialization. The resulting curriculum is designed to achieve a balance between science and engineering , to provide an understanding of the economic and social implications of engineering activity, and to develop creative talents. This program includes the necessary topics found on the FE exam. The Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Specific program educational objectives and outcomes include: Program Educational Objectives During the first few years after graduation, we expect our graduates to: 1. Possess an inquisitive mind, demonstrate excellence in technical knowledge - and skills, achieve success as a practicing engineer or graduate student, and apply the highest ethical standards in all pursuits. 2. Value the concept of, and demonstrate through practice, activities and actions that contribute to continual intellectual growth. 3. Advance the engineering profession by becoming actively involved in professional associations and societies, serving in professional and community volunteer positions, acting as a role model for the future generation of engineers, and assisting the SECCM Engineering Program in achieving its mission and goals. Program Outcomes We expect our graduating students to possess: 1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering 2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data 3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability 4. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams 5. an ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems 6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility 7. an ability to communicate effectively 8. an understanding of the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context 9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning 10. a knowledge of contemporary issues 11. an ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
