The goals of the program are identical to those described under the heading of the College of Engineering.
Emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of civil engineering principles and design techniques.
Students learn the basic engineering science concepts needed for this major through required course work in several of the different specialty areas. The program is broadened by courses in communication skills, arts, humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and other engineering disciplines. Students gain experience in working as members of a team and using interdisciplinary approaches to solve problems. Hence, the student's knowledge and skills are applied to actual engineering problems. For the B.S. degree in Civil Engineering, a minimum of 132 credits is required.
