Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

(code CE__BS01) (131 units)

Description

The Civil Engineering Program provides students with a broad educational background essential to modern civil engineering practice and research. The program is built around a basic core of mathematics, natural and engineering sciences common to accredited professional engineering programs. It is planned to give a selection of basic engineering-science and design education to enable the graduate to begin a career in any of the various fields of practice in civil engineering or to prepare for graduate study in related engineering majors. It makes possible a systematic and integrated foundation in the principles of structural analysis and design, transportation systems, environmental systems, geotechnical engineering, water resources engineering, materials, construction engineering management, and information technology. Opportunity to explore a particular area of interest is offered in the wide selection of civil engineering design electives to permit students a sequence of courses related to the area of their choice.

Mission

To educate and prepare students to succeed in the civil engineering profession by providing them with essential technical tools and skills which will enable them to perform current and future civil engineering tasks and to promote the need for life long learning.

Educational Objectives

1. Pursue lifelong learning through continuing education and/or advanced degrees in civil engineering or other related fields.
2. Progress to professional registration.
3. Continue to develop professionally through participation in professional organizations and/or participation in professional development activities in the industry.
4. Progress to management and/or other leadership positions in their fields.
