Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (129 hrs.)
To prepare the student for a professional career in civil engineering, the curriculum listed below is specified. Its flexibility allows considerable freedom to choose courses that best fit a student’s interests or objectives. Additional substitutions may be allowed when warranted.
The program design experience begins with the freshman engineering program. Introduction to the design process, ethics, professionalism, economics, and communication skills are presented and explored through individual and team assignments. As the analytical problem-solving capabilities of the students develop in their sophomore and junior years, design projects become more complex and involve engineering specifications, analysis, testing, safety, and societal constraints. Finally, the program design experience is completed with a senior design project. A multi-faceted civil engineering need is identified, and a problem statement is formulated. Alternative solutions are explored, and a detailed design is developed, documented and presented.
To ensure a breadth of knowledge across the civil engineering disciplines, the completion of Civil Engineering In-Depth Electives in three of the following four disciplines of civil engineering is required: environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources engineering, or transportation engineering. All students must complete Structural Design I and Structural Design Laboratory. The Civil Engineering In-Depth Electives are listed as follows.
