6A. STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION

MANAGEMENT (SCM) PROGRAM

6A.1. SCM Academic Standards

The Faculty of Engineering & Technology at FUE adopts the general Engineering National
Academic Reference Standards NARS-2018 for the B.Sc. degree of Engineering, published by
the National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education (NAQAAE),
along with the relevant NARS for the Civil & Arch. Engineering programs, and the Academic
Reference Standard (ARS) for the “structural engineering & construction management”
program, developed by the Faculty.

NATIONAL ACADEMIC REFERENCE STANDARDS (NARS)

AND ACADEMIC REFERENCE STANDARDS (ARS)

Different Levels of Competencies, as per NAQAAE.

Also, the development of the program considers the conditions and constraints specified by the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET): criteria for accrediting
Engineering Programs”, 2024-2025 Accreditation Cycle, November 2023.

6A.2. SCM Program Aims

The graduate of structural engineering & construction management program must:

PA1. Identify, formulate, and solve complex structural engineering and construction
management problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
PA2. Apply structural engineering and construction management 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.
PA3. Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
PA4. Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make
informed judgments, which must consider the impact of structural engineering and
construction management solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal
contexts.
PA5. Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a
collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
PA6. Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use
engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
PA7. Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
PA8. Use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for structural & construction
management engineering practice.
PA9. Demonstrate leadership qualities, business administration and entrepreneurial skills.
PA10. Recognize his/her role in promoting the engineering field and contribute in the
development of the profession and the community.
