Upper Division Program Requirements

The upper division program of study in civil engineering encourages the development of a broadly educated civil engineering graduate, who can succeed as a productive engineer with a continued professional growth. The courses listed as requirements for the BS degree not only provide the students with mathematical and scientific knowledge, but also include other essentials necessary for a successful engineering career. The courses have been designed to increase student competence in written and oral communication skills as well as develop critical thinking and creative problem solving strategies. Course projects are designed to teach engineering science fundamentals and their applications while providing enriching opportunities for laboratory and computer-based experiences. Furthermore, students are supplied with an understanding of the social and ethical responsibilities of engineers in our society and are encouraged to include sustainable development in all project designs.
