Relationship of the
course to Program Outcomes:
Civil Engineering Outcomes
1. Graduates will solve problems that involve statistics.
2.
Graduates will solve problems that address engineering economics issues such
as life-cycle analysis and the selection of alternatives.
4. Graduates will be
exposed to the role of an engineer involving ethics, professionalism, engineering
practice and registration.
5. Graduates will demonstrate the ability to collect
information and analyze and interpret data.
6. Graduates will demonstrate an
ability to communicate their ideas effectively through written reports and oral
presentations.
7. Graduates will demonstrate that they have worked in teams to
solve engineering problems.
8. Graduates will be aware of the need to continuously
update their knowledge through registration, continuing education, and participation
in professional societies.
9. Graduates will be able to complete a comprehensive
civil engineering design project incorporating the use of design and regulatory
standards, and realistic constraints that could include contemporary issues
such as economics, globalization, societal impact and safety.
10. Graduates will
be exposed to real-world problems and solutions. Graduates will be able to assess
an actual NF/RO water treatment plant pretreatment, membrane filtration and
post treatment using same knowledge gained in course.
