Undergraduate Study
For undergraduate curriculum in civil engineering leading
to the degree bachelor of science, see College of Engineering, Curricula.
This curriculum is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission
of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
Civil engineering consists of the application of the laws, forces,
and materials of nature to the planning, design, construction, maintenance,
and operation of public and private facilities, subject to economic,
social, and environmental constraints. Commonly included are transportation
systems; bridges and buildings; water supply, pollution control,
irrigation, and drainage systems; river and harbor improvements;
dams and reservoirs. Civil engineering also includes the planning,
design, and responsible execution of surveying operations, and the
location, delimitation, and delineation of physical and cultural
features on the surface of the earth. Research, testing, sales,
management, and related functions are also a part of civil engineering.
Work on the campus is supplemented by inspection trips which furnish
an opportunity for firsthand study of engineering systems in operation,
as well as projects under construction.
Environmental engineering involves the design, construction, and
operation of facilities to protect our environment - the air we
breathe, the land on which we live and work, the water that we drink
or use for recreational purposes and our natural resources. Environmental
engineering, as a specialty area in civil engineering, is concerned
with protecting the public and natural health; providing safe, palatable
and ample water supply; management of solid and hazardous waste;
proper treatment and disposal of domestic and industrial wastewaters
and waste; resource recovery; providing adequate drainage of urban
and rural areas for sanitation; and the control of water quality,
soil contamination, and air pollution. At the undergraduate level,
the study of various environmental and water resource engineering
topics is part of the course of study leading to the Bachelor’s
degree in civil engineering.
Because of the widespread use of microcomputers throughout civil
engineering practice, the department has incorporated microcomputer
applications into many of the civil engineering courses.
Program Goal
Consultation with an industrial advisory board of employers
of civil engineers, with a broad base of civil engineering educators,
and with students and alumni has yielded a continuous process of
program planning, program assessment, curriculum development, and
instructional development to produce an integrated, learning-based
curriculum. The curriculum listed in this bulletin has the academic
program goal of developing an effective program that fulfills student
educational needs and that equips and empowers qualified students
for a successful career in civil and environmental engineering.
Program Objectives
Program objectives and related outcomes intended to proceed
toward achievement of the program goal above include the following.
1. Design, coordinate, and execute an integrated undergraduate civil
engineering program that produced graduates who
•have a fundamental understanding of mathematics, statistics,
and physical sciences, and where appropriate, life sciences;
•have a broad base of knowledge in civil engineering technical
areas, represented by the transportation and surveying, structural,
environmental and water resources, and geotechnical and materials
disciplinary areas;
•have a basic understanding of cost estimating, planning and
scheduling for civil engineering projects;
•utilize critical thinking to identify, define and develop
alternative solutions, and to implement a feasible design to solve
an open-ended or ill-defined problem while considering constructability,
sustainability and maintainability of the design;
•are effective in oral, written and graphical communication
of ideas to engineers and non-engineers;
•recognize and understand the importance of timely and effective
communication during the design and construction process;
•have an ability to effectively use computers as a tool for
communication, problem solving, analysis and design;
•have an ability to work effectively within a multi-disciplinary
team;
•recognize and understand the importance of and necessity
for high professional and ethical standards;
•have a basic knowledge of business and management principles
and practices;
•have an understanding of social, political and cultural issues,
and
•have an ability to design and conduct experiments as well
as analyze and interpret data.
2. Provide opportunities for student interaction with practicing
professionals.
3. Provide opportunities for students to develop their leadership
skills.
4. Encourage and motivate students for life-long learning, continued
intellectual and professional growth and professional licensure.
5. Encourage cooperative education, internships or progressive summer
engineering employment.
6. Develop and maintain an academic advising system and a mentoring
system that retains qualified students.
7. Develop and maintain a faculty that serves as a model of professional
excellence for students.
Continued curriculum development will expand and increase the implementation
of courses and programs to support the goal and objectives listed
here. This goal and these objectives are consistent with, and supportive
of, the College goals and objectives (See College of Engineering
section.)
Graduate Study
The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering
offers work for the master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees
with a major in civil engineering with areas of specialization in
structural engineering, environmental engineering, construction
engineering and management, geotechnical engineering, civil engineering
materials, transportation engineering, and geometronics. The department
also offers minor work to students taking major work in other engineering
departments.
Candidates for the degree master of science are required to satisfactorily
complete 30 credits of acceptable graduate work, including preparation
of a thesis or the completion of a creative component in lieu of
a thesis.
The normal prerequisite to major graduate work is the completion
of a curriculum substantially equivalent to that required of engineering
students at this university. However, because of the diversity of
interests within the graduate programs in civil engineering, a student
may qualify for graduate study even though undergraduate or prior
graduate training has been in a discipline other than engineering.
Supporting work will be required depending upon the student’s
background and area of interest. A prospective graduate student
is urged to specify the degree program in which he or she is interested
on the application for admission.
The department participates in the interdepartmental majors in transportation
(M.S. only), and water resources (see Index).
