Civil Engineering (BCE)

Description

The College of Engineering & Science offers a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree.  Civil Engineering is the most diverse engineering field. Depending on who you work for, you may work on: airports, bridges, buildings, canals, dams, environmental cleanup, excavations, harbors, highways, industrial facilities, landfills, construction or demolition, piers, pipelines, reservoirs, roads, site planning, tunnels, Navy Seabees, and water and wastewater treatment plants.

Civil Engineers focus on making global sustainable systems. Our student projects make a difference in the world, such as work on environmental clean-up projects, plan for rapid transit, or help with urban renewal.

Since many engineering problems and solutions have roots in human behavior, you will learn communication skills, team working, ethics and decision making. Additionally, since engineering problems need practical solutions, our students work on cooperative job placements as interns in engineering. The experience is valuable for your resume when seeking full-time employment.

As a part of the curriculum, students are exposed to all areas of Civil and Environmental Engineering, including structures, transportation, geotechnical, hydrology, and the environment.

The mission of the program is to provide a broad-based education and design experience that enables students to address complex and multi-faceted civil engineering problems. The program also seeks to provide students the fundamental tools to enable them to evolve in the profession in response to changing technology and societal needs and expectations.

Program Educational Objectives

  1. Graduates of this program should work as practicing engineers/professionals, and take necessary steps to become licensed professional engineers.
  2. Graduates of this program should create practical engineering designs/solutions that are sensitive to economics, social context, community needs, and address environmental, public safety and sustainability concerns.
  3. Graduates of this program should actively participate and seek leadership positions in professional societies, other worthy organizations, and their workplaces.

Bachelor of Civil Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, .

Program Learning Outcomes

Graduates of this program will have the ability to:

  1. identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
  2. 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;
  3. communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
  4. recognize ethical and profession responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts;
  5. function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
  6. develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
  7. acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies;
  8. define key aspe
