Program Description

Today’s civil engineer is concerned with a broad spectrum of problems related to the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings, and water and energy systems. The B.S. in civil engineering provides a thorough preparation and professional training in the fundamentals of engineering and related fields. All degree candidates must register for the Engineering Fundamentals Examination prior to graduation. Two emphases (structural and environmental) are available to the students. The structural and environmental emphases differ from each other by two courses, as outlined below.
