Program Objectives
The West Texas A&M University Civil Engineering Program has the following objectives. During the first few years after graduation, engineers from the program will:
- Be professionally employed, serving the rapidly changing technological needs of industry, governmental organizations, or other entities regionally or throughout the state and nation, and continue to grow professionally through activities such as pursuing formal graduate study, research or continuing education, achieving professional licensure, and participating in technical societies.
- Develop an understanding of the business mission, vision, and objectives and be able to provide practical solutions that further those.
- Understand and appreciate the social, economic, and environmental issues that relate to ethical practice in a modern global society.
- Demonstrate continually advancing critical thinking in professional practice and personal lives, begin to take increasingly responsible leadership roles on interdisciplinary teams, and communicate clearly in both technical and non-technical forums.
Program Outcomes
Faculty members use the program educational outcomes to develop the topics covered and assignments in each course. By the time of graduation, civil engineering students will be able to:
- Apply science, mathematics and modern engineering tools and techniques to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems
- Design structural components or systems, individually or on interdisciplinary teams, and effectively communicate those designs in both technical and non-technical forums.
- Collect, analyze and interpret data from prescribed and self-designed experimental procedures and formally communicate the results.
- Apply a broad-based educational experience to understand the interaction of engineering solutions with contemporary business, economic and social issues.
- Recognize that ethical behavior and continuous acquisition of knowledge are fundamental attributes of successful civil engineering professionals.
- Pass the Fundamentals of Engineering examination.
Admission Requirements for Pre-Engineering and Civil Engineering
All civil engineering students must meet WTAMU admission standards as outline in this catalog. Upon admission to the University, all students would be eligible to engage in and complete the first two years of the Engineering Program. In the semester during which the student would complete the pre-engineering sequence (cited below), the student may petition for admittance into the Civil Engineering Program. Every student enrolled in civil engineering courses must first be admitted into the Civil Engineering Program or receive special permission from the department head. Criteria for Admission into Civil Engineering Program
Overall GPA of at least 2.25
Completion of the pre-engineering sequence:
Successful completion of the entrance interview with adviser
Note:
Students pursuing a civil engineering degree who do not meet the aforementioned criteria are to be listed as pre-engineering (major code 128) students. Students must appeal to the major department for any exceptions to this requirement. Advising Services Degree Checklists and Curriculum Guide
