Civil Engineering Curriculum
The Civil Engineering curriculum provides an integrated educational experience in
mathematics, basic sciences, humanities, social sciences, engineering sciences, and civil engineering design. The first two years of the Civil Engineering curriculum provide a strong foundation in mathematics, basic sciences, and engineering sciences. During the next two years of the four-year program, the Civil Engineering curriculum integrates engineering sciences with design applications in the areas of structural, environmental, geotechnical, and water resources engineering. The curriculum culminates with a major senior-level design project that includes design applications from the major specialty areas of civil engineering.
Graduate study is offered leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering. For detailed information on graduate studies, see the Graduate Studies Bulletin.
