Goals, Objectives, and Outcomes for the Environmental Engineering Program

The goals of the program are to:

• Prepare students for successful careers in environmental engineering, civil engineering, or related fields.
• Provide employers with a well-educated workforce that is ready and able to perform valuable environmental and civil engineering services immediately after graduation.
• Encourage the growth of knowledge-based industry and stimulate economic growth in Arkansas.

ABET Program Educational Objectives are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation. These objectives must be consistent with the mission of the institution, the needs of the program’s various constituencies, and the ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs. They must be reviewed and revised periodically, through a process that involves the program’s constituencies.

The objectives of the program are to produce engineering graduates who:

• Are certified Engineering Interns (EI) employed in environmental engineering, civil engineering, or related fields or are pursuing graduate or professional education in engineering, medicine, business, law, etc.
• Become licensed Professional Engineers (PE) and Board Certified Environmental Engineers (BCEE) after gaining the required professional experience and the additional requisite knowledge to pass the licensing and certification exams.
• Engage in lifelong learning, e.g., through additional formal education, continuing education, professional development, research, and self-study, in order to use state-of-the art knowledge to design safe and effective environmental systems and programs and to provide high quality services to the general public, employers, clients, and other professionals.

ABET Student Outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program.

The environmental engineering program will produce graduates who have:

1. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
2. 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.
3. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and
4. An ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.
5. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
6. An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
7. An ability to communicate effectively.
8. The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
9. A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
10. A knowledge of contemporary issues.
11. An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
