MARCY — The State University of New York Institute of Technology (SUNYIT) at Utica-Rome will offer a new bachelor’s degree program in civil engineering starting this fall.
“Since we began offering a bachelor of science in electrical and computer engineering last year, we have been preparing to offer additional engineering programs central to our mission as an institute of technology,” SUNYIT President Wolf Yeigh said in a release. “We’re pleased to announce that final approval by the state Education Department will allow us to offer this new program in the fall 2012 semester.”
The program, which prepares students for careers in engineering and allied fields, will also help promote regional economic growth and work-force development. Yeigh said business and industry leaders have supported and encouraged SUNYIT’s plan to launch civil and additional engineering programs to fill existing and future needs for engineers in the area. Civil engineering focuses on projects such as roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, water-supply systems, and sewage systems.

“SUNYIT’s civil engineering program will provide students with a solid foundation in mathematics, physical sciences, humanities and social sciences, and the fundamentals of engineering design and analysis, as well as the technical knowledge and critical thinking skills required for the professional practice of civil engineering and for seeking advanced degrees,” SUNYIT Provost William W. Durgin said. “Students in the program will also develop communication, teamwork, and lifelong learning skills and graduate with an understanding of professional, ethical, and social responsibility in a global context.”
The program will consist of liberal arts, math, science, and engineering coursework, along with studies in structural, environmental, and transportation engineering. Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the accrediting organization for applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology programs, will accredit the program once it becomes eligible after the first class of civil engineering majors graduate.
