Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is the oldest branch of engineering and plays a major role in developing a society and civilization. Employment of civil engineers is projected to grow 20% from 2012 to 2022, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. As infrastructure ages, civil engineers will be needed to manage projects to rebuild bridges, repair roads, and upgrade levees and dams.

UOG’s School of Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree to meet the needs of local students and the workforce requirements of Guam, Micronesia, and the neighboring regions of the Pacific and Asia. The graduates will be valuable for Guam construction companies, consulting companies, municipalities, Guam Department of Public Works, Guam Environmental Protection Agency, and more. Graduates will be primarily involved with the analysis, design, and development of structural systems, construction projects, transportation projects, environmental treatment facilities, and project management.

The baccalaureate degree in Civil Engineering from the School of Engineering will be accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Students from the Pacific region enrolled in UOG’s Engineering Program will benefit from being able to study close to home and at a substantial savings compared to schools in other states or countries.

 

Learning Outcomes

Students completing the Civil Engineering program must demonstrate:

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
2. an ability to 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;
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts;
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
