ABET Objectives & Outcomes

1. Excel in the engineering practice, research, and management associated with the protection and conservation of ecological and human health.

O1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics including using modern tools.

2. Play key roles in the analysis of the behavior of complex natural and engineered environmental systems, and design infrastructure in a sustainable way to meet societal needs.

O1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics including using modern tools.

O2. 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.

O4. 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.

O5. 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.

3. Apply their broad environmental engineering training to excel and become leaders in a diverse range of professions, including engineering consulting, industry, medicine, law, government, communication, and education.
