CEES has developed an innovative two semester capstone sequence. The first course in the sequence (Professional Practice) covers a lot of the non-technical issues associated with civil engineering practice (e.g., professional registration, ethics, and environmental regulations); the second course (Civil Engineering Capstone) focuses on a real world civil engineering design problem. The students are assembled into multi-disciplinary teams with architectural engineering students. The teams are structured to simulate a typical civil engineering consulting firm. The student teams address a real-world design problem and their work is evaluated by practicing engineers. One past capstone class undertook the design of a Radar Innovations Laboratory for the OU research campus. CEES requires that all Civil Engineering students take the Fundamentals of Engineering examination prior to graduation. The Civil Engineering undergraduate program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET
