Fit with the Institutional Mission or Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILO) - 2024 Cycle

The addition of the new course “Civil Engineering Design Through Competition” will significantly enhance the university’s commitment to Student Engagement, and Engaged Teaching and Learning by offering students a hands-on, project-based learning experience that directly aligns with real-world challenges. By engaging in competition-based design projects, students will not only deepen their understanding of civil engineering theory and design but also develop critical skills in construction management and teamwork. This practical approach fosters active learning, preparing students to excel in their professional careers while reinforcing the university’s mission to deliver an education that is both experiential and impactful.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) - 2024 Cycle

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. an ability to 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.
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. an ability to 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.
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
