2004-05 Undergraduate Catalog
The Major: 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, space 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 society. Approximately one out of four engineers is 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.
The bachelor’s degree program provides a broad civil engineering core plus 15 credits of emphasis in one of the following areas: construction engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydrology and water resources engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering or general civil engineering.
Combined-Degree Programs
The Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering offers a combined B.S./master’s program to qualified undergraduates seeking M.S., M.E. or M.C.E. degrees. Students can shorten the time required for a master’s degree by completing six graduate-level credits the final two semesters of their B..S. program.
To qualify for this program, students from civil engineering must have a combined GRE score of 1100 or greater, have attained an upper-division GPA of 3.50 or greater and satisfied all department and graduate school admission requirements. Up to six credits of Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering graduate-level graded courses can be double counted in the B.S. and master’s programs.
Mission
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.
Goals
To develop civil engineering professionals with proficiency in the fundamentals of science and engineering; to develop an understanding of the planning, design, construction and operation of civil engineering projects; to develop enhanced communication skills; and to develop an appreciation of professionalism and ethics in the practice of engineering.
Educational Objectives
- To provide a broad General Education that enhances communication skills and encourages all-around development, individually and as productive members of society
- To ensure a thorough preparation in the fundamentals of science and engineering
- To provide a foundation in the planning, design, construction and operation of civil engineering projects, and
- To contribute to the state, the nation and the profession through 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.
Department Requirements
A minimum grade of C is required for all courses marked with an asterisk (*). A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for all civil engineering courses. Before graduating, all BSCE students must take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam.
