About Civil Engineering Program

A Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering requires 124 credit hours. It is designed for a four-year program of study. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is 12 credit hours per semester. A student must complete general program courses within the first three years of study with a grade point average of 2.0 or better before taking upper-level core courses (300 and 400-level). To complete the program within four years, a credit load of 15 to 18 credits per semester is recommended. This time can be reduced by attending summer sessions and/or intersessions.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Degree in Civil Engineering (CE)

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) demonstrate what students are expected to know at the time of graduation.

1. An ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics.
2. 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.
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
