Educational Objectives
Department Requirements
Civil engineering is the oldest and most diverse branch of engineering and includes the design and construction of bridges, buildings, dams, waterways, coastal protection works, airports, pipelines, missile launching facilities, railroads, highways, sanitary systems, ocean structures and facilities, foundations, harbors, waterworks and many other systems and structures upon which modern civilization depends. In its broadest sense, the civil engineer adapts the physical features of the earth to the needs of man. Approximately one-fourth of all engineers are engaged in civil engineering.
The basic program provides the minimum education for practice. Beyond the bachelor's degree, advanced degrees are available in geomatics, transportation, hydraulics, structural engineering, soil mechanics, foundations, construction, public works and civil engineering materials.
While understanding the fundamentals of the field is essential, the civil engineer must also understand the role of other engineering branches. The curriculum includes courses from other engineering disciplines, and provides an excellent basic engineering education. Thus, the student is provided the broadest of engineering backgrounds that can be used as a springboard to another specialization.
(top)
The department strives to build upon a leading program of exceptional teaching, innovative research and dedicated service by maintaining a strong curriculum, a highly qualified and committed faculty, outstanding facilities and essential funding.
(top)
The goal of the department is to develop civil engineering professionals with proficiency in the fundamentals of science and engineering, an understanding of the planning, design, construction and operation of civil engineering projects, enhanced communication skills, and an appreciation of professionalism and ethics in the practice of engineering.
(top)
To provide a broad general education that enhances communication skills and encourages all-around development of students, both individually and as productive members of society,
To ensure a thorough preparation in the fundamentals of science and engineering,
To provide a foundation to the planning, design, construction and operation of civil engineering projects, and
To enhance contributions to the state, nation and profession through strong programs in teaching, research and service.
The program and curriculum permit a graduate to enter practice and commence life-long learning through professional activities or to continue his/her preparation through graduate studies. An early engineering identity is established through a freshman engineering lab and participation in the student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Design integration is continued throughout the program.
(top)
A minimum grade of C is required for all courses marked with an asterisk (*). A grade point average of 2.0 is the minimum for all civil engineering courses. All B.S.C.E. students must take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam offered by the Department of Professional Regulation before graduating.
