Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering

The mission of the civil engineering program at Stevens Institute of Technology is to educate a new generation of civil engineers who are leaders in the profession. The educational program emphasizes technical competence, professional practice, leadership, life-long learning, civic contribution, and entrepreneurship. The program of study combines a broad- based core engineering curriculum, a substantial experience in the humanities and in business and engineering management, with specialization in civil engineering. Within the sequence of civil engineering courses, the students have the flexibility to concentrate in structural, geotechnical, water resources, transportation engineering, construction management and environmental engineering.

The objectives of the civil engineering program are provided in terms of our expectations for our graduates. Within several years of graduation:

• Our graduates will be known for tackling challenging civil engineering problems through visionary planning and innovative, resilient, equitable and sustainable designs

• Our graduates will be recognized for upholding the highest ethical principles in addressing complex professional and social problems that will face future civil engineers

• Our graduates will practice teamwork and attain leadership positions and will broadly benefit society while advancing the civil engineering profession, its domain and impact

By the time of graduation, students majoring in civil engineering will have the 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 and environmental, and economic factors

• Communicate effectively with a rage of audiences, writing and presenting technical content

• Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, 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 judgement to draw conclusions

• Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

• Understand the steps involved in taking a technology from conception to market, and can demonstrate these steps by an actual or hypothetical example

The Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, https://www.abet.org.
