Pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree at Embry-Riddle means students benefit from ERAU’s high-technology atmosphere, offering unique hands-on opportunities whether they pursue a civil engineering career in transportation, aerospace, or elsewhere. This program provides the foundation necessary to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and become a professional engineer. The demand for civil engineers educated in the fields of airports, transportation, aviation and aerospace planning, and analysis and design is strong and is expected to grow rapidly in the future. Space utilization and exploration initiatives are certain to produce further demand for civil engineers with aerospace interests. The program takes advantage of ERAU’s advanced technological capabilities to give students the following unique opportunities: -Students begin this program by completing the College of Engineering’s Freshman Engineering Program. The program includes a general education core of Speech and College Success, introductions to engineering and computing, plus courses in calculus, analytical geometry, and physics for engineers. -There is an option for students to develop personal study programs in topics ranging from hurricane and wind engineering to energy conservation, green engineering, and even designing extraterrestrial habitations. -Graduates of the Civil Engineering program will leave ERAU with an understanding of the classical areas of civil engineering with emphasis on transportation, geotechnical, environmental, and structural design in aviation and aerospace fields developed through a carefully planned series of courses and laboratories. The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program requires successful completion of a minimum of 128 semester hours. The program may be completed in eight regular semesters, assuming appropriate background and full-time enrollment. Graduates of the Civil Engineering program will leave the University with an understanding of the classical areas of civil engineering with emphasis on transportation, geotechnical, environmental, and structural design in aviation and aerospace fields developed through a carefully planned series of courses and laboratories. Small class size and personal attention allow the interjection of practical interdisciplinary design projects throughout the curriculum.

Civil Engineering graduates are sought-after candidates for jobs in many fields, including airport design and construction, roadway infrastructure, alternative energy development, municipal systems, and more. A Civil Engineer can work in just about any populated part of the planet. Graduates are not limited to following an industry; every municipality employs Civil Engineers, for example.
