Accreditation

Civil Engineering

The Civil Engineering (Bachelor of Science) degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET ( https://www.abet.org). ABET is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization that accredits college and university programs in the disciplines of applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology. ABET accreditation, which is achieved through a peer review process, provides assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards established by the profession for which the program prepares its students.

Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes

Program Enrollment

  • Full-time undergraduate enrollment as of Oct. 1, 2022: 373
  • Degrees awarded for the academic year 2021-22 (Sept. Dec. Feb. and May): 99

Environmental Engineering

The Environmental Engineering (Master of Engineering, or ME) graduate degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (https://www.abet.org).

Program Educational Objectives for Environmental Engineering ME Degree

Environmental Engineering graduates will be recognized for their:

  1. Leadership, achievement and involvement in engineering and related professions, through service in private and public agencies and in research and academic institutions.
  2. Dedication to enhance the engineering profession through continuous self-improvement.
  3. Commitment to working toward engineering a sustainable environment for New York and the world.
  4. Ethical practices and professionalism.

Program Student Outcomes for Environmental Engineering ME Degree

Below are the general program outcomes for all students who successfully complete an ME degree in environmental engineering. These outcomes are designed to support and reinforce the ABET general outcomes 1-7, as well as address select environmental engineering program-specific outcomes and ABET master’s program outcomes as noted.

Upon completion of the ME degree in environmental engineering, students will be able to:

  • Outcome #1: Design and conduct experiments and analyze and interpret data. This supports ABET PO 6 and program-specific criteria related to hands-on laboratory experiments, and analysis and interpretation of resulting data in more than one major environmental engineering focus area, such as air, water, land and environmental health.
  • Outcome #2: 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. This supports ABET PO 2, program-specific criteria related to design of environmental engineering systems, and ME-specific criteria related to mastery of a specific field of study or area of professional practice consistent with the master’s program name.
  • Outcome #3: Communicate effectively with a range of audiences. This supports ABET PO 3.
  • Outcome #4: Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments that consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts. This supports ABET PO 4, program-specific criteria related to professional practice, project management, environmental policy and regulations, and ME-specific criteria related to mastery of a specific field of study or area of professional practice consistent with the master’s program name.
  • Outcome #5: Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies. This supports ABET PO 7.
