MSU Denver's CET Program Outcomes

Each Civil Engineering Technology graduate shall demonstrate satisfactory:

1 Qualitative Analysis. Students will be able to analyze and to solve problems qualitatively in engineering and other disciplines. In particular, students will be able to:

Use appropriate tools of the profession to conduct qualitative analysis.
Use science, math, and engineering concepts to conduct qualitative analysis.
Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems in a qualitative manner.

2 Quantitative Analysis. Students will be able to analyze and to solve problems quantitatively in engineering and other disciplines. In particular, students will be able to:

Use appropriate tools of the profession to conduct quantitative analysis
Use science, math, and engineering concepts to conduct quantitative analysis.
Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems in a quantitative manner.

3 Design. Students will be able to develop creative, effective designs that solve real problems. In particular, they will be able to:

Develop designs of products, systems, or processes that respond to authentic needs.
Take into account the social, economic, or environmental constraints on the design.
Consider the potential social, economic, or environmental impact of the design.

4 Teamwork. Students will be able to contribute effectively in a variety of roles on teams, including multi-disciplinary teams.

5 Communication. Students will be able to convey information and ideas effectively, to a variety of audiences, using written, oral, and visual and graphical communication.

6 Life-Long Learning. Students will be able to identify and to address their own educational needs in a changing world.

7 Contextual Awareness. Students will demonstrate knowledge of the ethical, professional, business, social, and cultural contexts of engineering. In particular, they will be able to:

Demonstrate the benefits of a broad education, an appreciation for contemporary issues, and an ability to connect these topics to their work as engineers.
Articulate their professional and ethical responsibilities.

8 Diagnosis. Students will be able to identify and resolve problems within complex systems. In particular, they will be able to:

Develop hypotheses.
Design and conduct experiments to test hypotheses.
Analyze and interpret the results of these experiments.

9 Personal Development. Students will be able to understand the importance of diversity and the global and societal impacts of technology.

10 Documentation. Students will be able to understand and create documentations for a civil engineering (or multidisciplinary) project.

11 Technical Specialties. Students will be able to perform standard analysis/design in at least three recognized technical specialties in the civil engineering field. In particular they will be able to perform analysis and design in transportation, hydraulics/hydrology, geotechnical/foundation, structures areas.
