CET ABET PEO's and SLO's
Mission Statement for Construction Engineering Technology:
The University of Southern Mississippi Construction Engineering Technology (CET) program
is committed to producing graduates who possess the necessary skills to enter the
A/E/C industry fully capable of performing entry-level tasks at the office and in
the field. The graduates' critical thinking, discipline and work ethics will be such
that a short period of training and work experience will allow them to move into managerial
positions.
Program Educational Objectives** for Construction Engineering Technology:
The undergraduate construction engineering technology program prepares students to
achieve the following educational objectives within 3-5 years of graduation:
- PEO 1: Create and present documents such as construction safety plans, project management
plans, and estimate/schedule basis.
- PEO 2: Assemble construction cost estimates and schedules.
- PEO 3: Attain industry-specific certifications and licensure.
- PEO 4: Successfully contribute as team members within integrated design-build projects.
- PEO 5: Advance professionally with increasing leadership and responsibility beyond
entry level in construction related fields.
** These PEOs were approved by program faculty on 12/2/19 and will be presented to
and reviewed by the CET Industry Advisory Council on 3/31/2020 during its Spring 2020
meeting.
