As a civil engineering major in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, you have two choices within the accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering program: civil engineering and civil engineering with the sustainable engineering concentration. Regardless of your choice, the BSE in civil engineering is accredited by ABET. Civil engineering involves the analysis, planning, design, construction, maintenance and application of sustainable practices in all areas of urban infrastructure for government, commerce, industry and the public domain. These include airports, bridges, canals, dams, factories, office towers, roadway systems, schools, tunnels and subway systems, and water purification facilities. Civil engineers are concerned with the impact their projects have on the public and the environment --- they coordinate the needs of society with technical and economic feasibility. The curriculum exposes you to the following areas of civil engineering, with a strong emphasis on sustainability: construction engineering environmental engineering geotechnical engineering hydrosystems engineering structures transportation The following are the civil engineering undergraduate program educational objectives within three years of graduation: Graduates will be employed as engineers or will be enrolled in (or have graduated from) engineering or professional graduate school. Graduates will provide engineering and program management services for civil infrastructure development that protect and enhance the environment while stewarding natural resources. Graduates will demonstrate professionalism and will hold positions of increasing responsibility within their organizations. Graduates are expected to achieve the following outcomes by graduation: An ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies. Printable program brochureCivil engineering, BSE (PDF)
