(b) design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data
(c) design systems, components, or processes in more than one civil engineering context to meet desired needs within realistic constraints
(d) function well on a multi-disciplinary team
(e) identify, formulate, and solve civil engineering problems
(f) understand professional and ethical responsibility, and explain basic concepts in management, business, public policy, and leadership as well as the importance of professional licensure
(g) communicate effectively
(h) understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
(i) recognize the need for and have the ability to engage in lifelong learning
(j) have knowledge of contemporary issues
