Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering
This undergraduate civil engineering program leads to the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) degree. The degree program prepares graduates for entry level positions in activities associated with the analysis, planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure systems including airports, bridges, buildings, water supply, water treatment and disposal, flood mitigation, and roadway systems. Civil engineers are concerned with the impact that projects have to the public and the environment. This baccalaureate program will expose students to the following areas of civil engineering.
- Structural Engineering
- Transportation systems engineering
- Hydraulic and Hydrologic engineering
- Construction Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
Specific Admission Requirements
In order to be considered for admission to the BSCE as an incoming freshman, a student must:
- Be placed into MATH 126 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I (5 Credit Hours) or higher.
- Have a high school GPA of 2.50 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
Student Learning Outcomes
- to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- an ability to 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
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
