Civil Engineering ABET Goals

Program Objectives
The educational objectives of the Civil Engineering Program at Brown University are based on the mission of the institution, the possibilities for a small program, the quality and aspirations of the students, and a survey of how well our curriculum has served our graduates. From these inputs we have established the following educational objectives:

  1. To provide an interdisciplinary foundation for distinctive careers, beginning with either entry level positions in structural and environmental areas of civil engineering or graduate study in these fields.
  2. To prepare graduates who are able to adapt to changing opportunities, both in engineering and in other professional and business pursuits.
  3. To motivate graduates for ethically responsible, lifelong commitments to learning and to service to the engineering community and society at large.
