The B.S. in Civil Engineering is an ABET accredited program, which integrates research with engineering education. The B.S. in Civil Engineering offers the opportunity to focus on structures and construction, or on environmental and water studies. Three educational objectives structure the Civil Engineering degree program. Graduates of the program are expected within a few years of graduation to have the ability to: Establish themselves as practicing professionals in civil or environmental engineering or a related field. Pursue graduate study in civil or environmental engineering or other fields. Work effectively as responsible professionals alone or in teams handling increasingly complex professional and societal expectations. The mission of the undergraduate program in Civil Engineering is to provide students with the principles of engineering and the methodologies necessary for civil engineering practice. This pre-professional program balances the fundamentals common to many specialties in civil engineering and allows for concentration in structures and construction or environmental and water studies. Students in the major learn to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and civil engineering to conduct experiments, design structures and systems to creatively solve engineering problems, and communicate their ideas effectively. The curriculum includes course work in structural, construction, and environmental engineering. The major prepares students for careers in consulting, industry and government, as well as for graduate studies in engineering.
