Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Civil Engineering] From Pennsylvania State University

 Emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of civil engineering principles and design techniques. Students utilize basic engineering science concepts in several of the different specialty areas (e.g., construction/management, environmental, materials/pavement design/geotechnical, structures, transportation, and water resources). Finally the students are able to choose an area of specialization for professional practice or graduate studies.

Program Outcomes (Student Outcomes):

The undergraduate program will provide students with:

a. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; b. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; c. 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; d. an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams; e. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems; f. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility;g. an ability to communicate effectively; h. an understanding of the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context; i. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning;j. knowledge of contemporary issues in civil engineering; k. an ability to use modern engineering techniques, skills, and tools necessary for engineering practice.
