The
primary objective of the Bachelor
of Science in Civil Engineering program
is to produce a well-balanced civil engineer capable of entering
the civil engineering profession or continuing studies at the graduate
level. Graduates will be well-prepared to solve current civil engineering
problems, and will have the ability to adapt to problems of the
future. The achievements of civil engineers are well-known to the
general public, because civil engineers build the world’s
infrastructure. In doing so, they can shape the history of nations.
Projects that civil engineers work on include: airports, bridges,
buildings, dams and waterways, drainage and sewer systems, city
roads, and highways.
The
undergraduate program offers a balanced approach to civil engineering
education. Students take a common core of civil engineering courses,
and can specialize in the areas of geotechnical, water resources,
or structural engineering. The program is also designed to give
students a solid foundation in engineering and science. Students
take courses in chemistry, physics, and math, in addition to a
core set of engineering courses common to most engineering disciplines.
Our civil engineering courses teach students the fundamentals of
engineering design, as well as potential applications. Students
are taught how to use computer software to expedite the design
process, and they are also taught how to balance engineering designs
with economic constraints. During their senior year, undergraduate
students work with a professor on a two-semester design project.
